The Roller Coaster of Enterprise Fitness’ Forever Home

A significant chapter in Enterprise Fitness’ story unfolded in December 2020 when Jason acquired a property to serve as the enterprise’s permanent residence. However, what was intended to be a milestone soon became a lesson in overcoming adversity. Jason lightheartedly shares that nearly everything that could go wrong with the property seemed to materialize.

From unexpected renovation delays to logistical nightmares, the challenges piled up, putting Jason’s problem-solving skills to the test. But, as he notes, these challenges provided invaluable opportunities for growth, both personally and professionally. They reinforced the truth that innovation often emerges from navigating through obstacles.

Insights from The Enterprise Fitness Podcast

Jason, along with Shane and a host of other remarkable guests, delves into these and other fascinating topics in a recent episode of The Enterprise Fitness Podcast. In this episode, listeners are offered a unique glimpse into Jason’s mindset, his visions for Enterprise Fitness, and the evolutionary journey the company has undertaken over the years.

Here are some key takeaways from the episode:

1. The Win or Learn Philosophy

Central to Jason’s approach to business is the win-or-learn philosophy. Rather than fearing failure, he embraces it as a stepping stone to growth. He discusses how this mindset shift has not only reshaped his business decisions but has also transformed the way he approaches personal development.

2. The Evolution of a Coach’s Mindset

As a coach, Jason’s mindset has undergone a significant transformation. He shares how his early focus on the external transformation of clients gave way to a deeper understanding of the psychological and emotional aspects of coaching. This shift enabled him to provide a more holistic and impactful coaching experience for his clients.

3. The Mirror Philosophy of Great Coaching

Jason elaborates on the mirror philosophy of great coaching, emphasizing the importance of setting an example as a coach. By embodying the principles and values he imparts to clients, he creates a powerful synergy that fosters trust and inspires lasting change.

4. The Warrior Versus the Gardener

The roles within Enterprise Fitness have evolved over the years. Jason discusses how his initial role as a “warrior,” focused on tackling challenges head-on, gradually transformed into that of a “gardener,” nurturing the growth and potential of his team. This evolution mirrors the development of Enterprise Fitness as a whole.

5. Insights for Aspiring Entrepreneurs

For those aspiring to open their own fitness studio or business, Jason offers valuable advice drawn from his own experiences. He emphasizes the significance of building a strong team, cultivating a resilient mindset, and embracing the ever-changing nature of the industry.

6. The BBQ Test for Hiring

An intriguing concept Jason introduces is the “BBQ Test” for hiring. This simple yet effective test revolves around assessing whether a potential team member is someone he’d enjoy spending time with at a casual barbecue. This criterion goes beyond skills and qualifications, focusing on cultural fit and personal connection.

7. The Changing Landscape of Social Media

Reflecting on the “yuk” nature of “Audience Capture” in social media, Jason explores his insights on the industry’s direction. He discusses the importance of authenticity in a world dominated by curated content and provides a glimpse into his predictions for the future of social media’s role in business.

8. The Most Rewarding Moments

Among the most rewarding aspects of Jason’s journey are the profound transformations he’s witnessed in his clients. The episode sheds light on these transformative moments that remind him of the impact Enterprise Fitness has on people’s lives.

Conclusion

In this illuminating episode of The Enterprise Fitness Podcast, Jason offers listeners a candid and introspective look into the challenges, victories, and pivotal lessons he’s encountered throughout his entrepreneurial journey. As the founder of Enterprise Fitness, he embodies the spirit of growth through adversity, proving that even the most significant business mistakes can serve as catalysts for innovation and success.
