We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Harold Chatman a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Harold, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. How’s you first get into your field – what was your first job in this field?

From the beginning, I’ve always played sports as a young boy. I loved being active, working out, and eating healthy. My mom would always remind me to take my vitamins and minerals. My goal has always been to help people become the best version of themselves mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. An aspiration I’ve always had when I first started was getting into my own products, supplements, programs and coaching people online. I can say now, I am achieving these goals and everything is happening as I planned. 

I am very grateful and enjoying this journey because I feel like this is my calling. I enjoy talking to my clients and people I come across at the grocery store about health and wellness and how to become the best version of themselves. It’s always a very deep and emotional connection because I realize so many people need help in regards to optimizing their health. 

Harold, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

 I was able to get into this industry through an influence and a personal trainer named Dante. We met at a 24 hour fitness center where I trained there myself. He took me under his wing, coached me and gave me all the resources he had and I took them as my own. I would say the information he gave me made me who I am today and it allowed me to come up with the ideas that I have today. 

I am most proud of the person I am becoming. I make sure that I make time for myself and my health so that I am able to provide quality service to my current clients and potential clients. When you hire me as your health and wellness coach, we are going to go through this journey together and I would deploy all my resources to you to make sure we get there together. 

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

Taking ownership in what I do and being passionately driven. In the beginning I was pretty clueless in regards to business and understanding the fundamentals. I was blessed to have other trainers and business professionals around me. Some of them took me under their wing and showed me how to survive in this industry. I enjoy reading books, listening to podcasts and going to seminars. These things helped me build my reputation because it allowed me to understand what I am trying to achieve. 

What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?

Understanding my target audience, knowing what a potential client would look like and having the tools and knowledge on what my clients would want and need from me. 

Lastly, making it fun and enjoyable. It’s important to make sure you add your personality because people will always remember how you make them feel.
