August 2024 Q&A: Starting a Fitness Biz, Off-Season Basketball, and How to Ask for a Raise

Physical Preparation Podcast Archives - Robertson Training Systems

Okay my friend – we’re BACK!

It’s been a hot minute since we did a Q&A episode (almost a year, if you’re keeping track), so I knew it was time to make this happen.

I absolutely love doing these episodes, because any time I can serve YOU, it makes me feel good on the inside

Here we cover a range of topics here from training to business development, so let’s dive in and answer some questions!

Don’t just sell features, think about the benefits and what it really means to them.
