Tanner shares his background and what inspired him to get into online fitness coaching. Tanner explains how he struggled to get his business going for the first two years and then he found a method that worked best for him. He now claims to be a marketer who does fitness. Some people know the fitness game but they don’t understand the market or how to do sales. Tanner stresses the value of knowing what the market wants and validating your offer. He explains that he has found more happiness and success in coaching when his focus is more about impact and integrity than income.

Powerful Quotes to Remember:

• The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make is trying to sell something before even knowing if the market wants it.
• People work with coaches who have a seven figure business, but it’s a seven figure business of signing people up trying to make money. But have they ever made money in fitness before?
• The easiest way to get what you want and where you want to be is to work with someone who has been through it and who has been successful.
• If it’s all about the money, you’re never going to be happy because you can always make more.
• If you want to have business for the long term, you must operate with integrity 100%. If you burn bridges you’ll be alone on the island.
• Sales and marketing will drive your business, but delivery will sustain it long term.
