3 Steps for Turning a Hobby Into a Successful Business

Published - 09 January 2018, Tuesday

Follow your heart while making a good living.  Understanding how to run a small business is essential to making a living as a free-lance fitness/ wellness trainer or consultant.

The good news is that everyone possesses the ability to be a successful entrepreneur. With some basic tools, knowledge, and practice you can run your business with dexterity.

Exploring Different Income Streams
As you embark on your journey to become a professional instructor or trainer, you'll need to determine the paths your business will take. Where do you start? It may sound corny, but the best advice I got when I began my entrepreneur career was "Follow your heart." There is no one blueprint that will work for everyone, so deciding what is best for you depends on the unique circumstances of your life, your strengths, your goals, your resources, and your experience.

As you assess each possible income stream, think about those you might enjoy the most and are the best fit for your work. Do not get caught up in choosing potential income sources because you think they sound the most profitable. If a source of income doesn’t align with your values or sound enjoyable, it will eventually leave you feeling uninspired and inauthentic, henceforth the slogan for ARFIT CLUB - Get Real.

Starting small is the soundest approach, there are a few sites that allow you to introduce your services or allowing you to open a 'store' or 'business' on their sites so that will save you tons of money.  

But taking on too many similar sites or signing up all at once may cause you to feel overwhelmed. Devote your time to one or two sites and then, when you find your groove and begin earning, consider adding more. Perhaps you'll discover that managing an online shop takes up too much time or that dealing with too many clients hampers your development process, that's where ARFIT CLUB comes in.

With a little patience and an attitude of openness, you will eventually find your sweet spot.
