Billy Hofacker is the creator of the Total Body Fitness Boot Camp of Long Island. He held his first fitness boot camp in May of 2004 and has been a full time personal trainer for over 18 years. Billy graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree (Cum Laude) from Queens College and is also certified by the NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Association) as a certified strength and conditioning coach.
Billy first was introduced to the personal training world when he was only 17 years old and attending community college. It was then that he had some mentors take him under their wing to learn about the industry.
“I had no idea what (personal training) was; I literally did not know what a personal trainer was.”
Billy decided to go full force into personal training while being mentored by a gym owner and he quickly started developing entrepreneurial skills from being an independent contractor.
“I figured out some different strategies to market myself”
On today’s very special episode, I talk with my wife Holly, who’s a Lifestyle Design Coach for Moms. In the past decade, she’s coached over 33,000 moms through a variety of online fitness products, programs and transformation challenges. As a result, Holly has created one of the most popular online fitness brands for moms in the world, Fit Yummy Mummy. She speaks at national fitness conferences, contributes to fitness magazines like Women’s Health and Shape and shares her message in places like USA Today, on CBS, ABC and Fox.
After Holly’s first child she started seeking ways of getting her body back, and she found transformation in strength training.
“I found out that where my passion was, figuring out fitness and being able to to teach it to other moms.”
Since launching The Ideal Business Show last August, we have released 20 episodes and I wanted to take this time and reflect on what we have learned so far. Today I’ve picked out five of the most powerful takeaways I’ve gotten from these inspiring guests!
1.John Berardi spoke about the concept of “guardrails”. Guardrails are the boundaries that we need to have in place and follow on our journey to our ideal business. These guardrails help you stay true to your vision and values, while allowing you to make your own path.
2. You want to be the undisputed leader of something in your market! The most successful people are not trying to be jack-of-all-trades – they are a market leader.
There are only two paths to success and that is being different, or being better.
3. There is more than one route to building your ideal business. So many business owners became successful by finding their own path. Whether it be online or local or micro niched, there is more than one path to get to where you need to go. I have interviewed many people with different approaches to their businesses, there is no “right” way – there is your way.
4. If there was on thing that all of these interviews had in common it is that nobody went from zero to profound success overnight!
5. The professionals that I have interviewed in the past 20 episodes knew how to play to their strengths. They knew that they needed to focus on what they are good at and then delegate the rest. They are focused on their innate abilities in their businesses.
