In this episode of the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Pete sits with Adam Strong, an Elite Athlete turned Business Coach, to talk about how you can achieve peak performance and increase productivity levels so you can reach your goals in no time. Adam believes that the focus, discipline, and teamwork that he has learned in his vigorous training for being an athlete were significant factors on how he got where he is now. Aside from growing his business and wealth, he has also grown his reach—he is helping more solopreneurs and companies than ever.
Some other topics that were discussed today too were: the effect of sports in mental health, business coaching, leading teams, strategic business plans, helping other people, and many more. Time to listen in.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Art of Running. When Adam was a kid, he got bullied a lot because of his alopecia. This affected his self-worth and confidence. So, he did something else to get his mind off things—he started running.
Adam never gave being a top athlete a thought. He just kept practising and practising. At first, it was difficult because asthma attacks were prominent, but he continued training every single day. In return, this improved his health, increased his confidence, and he then became an elite athlete.
From flipping burgers to growing his own business. His first job was as a part-time in McDonald’s. Most would abhor it, but Adam was plain happy that he was learning about responsibility, leadership, and finances. It was easy for him to climb the ladder and it came to a point where he also led teams.
At 25, he became a Personal Trainer in a cruise ship, a dream job of his. He had such a wonderful learning experience. He explored while helping other people. But he had to go back to the UK and look for other opportunities. This time, he wanted to run his own business and team.
When he first started conducting personal training, there was an overwhelming response. But he knew he could grow his reach more. So, he met with a business coach who helped him gain clarity about his life and business goals. During this interaction, he learned that he not only had immense knowledge of sports, but he was also a skilled public speaker.
A business strategist rather than a business coach. Adam can easily empower people to be great in their endeavours because of his expertise in sports and business. He advises to take things step by step and always continue moving, aiming to achieve peak performance every time.
BEST MOMENTS
“I never compare myself to anyone else. We all have different backgrounds. We all have different goals.”
“I started getting better through training and repetition. Repetition is the best form of practice.”
“It wasn’t happening for me… Enough is enough. I’m done with struggling. I’m done with not being able to provide for my kids.”
“I genuinely want to help people.”
“Coaching is as important to me as breathing.”
