Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Joe Bauer. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Joe, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Looking back, do you think you started your business at the right time? Do you wish you had started sooner or later
I’m guessing you already know what I’m going to say. If we are talking about my online fitness/workout business or my YouTube channel… I 100% wish I would have started it earlier.
You know when you get an idea for what you think would be a good business but it sounds like a lot of work? Well, it is going to be a lot of work, but the sooner you start the sooner you’ll start to figure out how to make it successful.
There is nothing that I’m doing now that I don’t wish I would have started earlier.
If you have what you think is a good idea for yourself… get started NOW!!!
Joe, 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’m just a guy that LOVES feeling and looking super fit and healthy, and then teaching the exact steps to anyone that wants to learn how I did it.
My whole life I’ve learned things, tested them for myself, then taught them to others looking for similar results.
My business is the Get Better Project where you can sign up and get the exact workouts and nutrition that is working for me right now THAT IS ADAPTED FOR WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW in your life.
So, we coach you up to where I am, and even above me if you’d like to go further. We currently have a CrossFit Masters athlete that has gone further and actually won the CrossFit Games in her division with our program.
What sets our program apart from the others is that we let you pay what you can AND you get a coach/mentor that works with you every step of the way. We care a lot!
Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?
I was the head coach at a CrossFit gym for 5+ years before deciding to move into a van and travel full time. This meant that I would need to make money online.
So, I pivoted from coaching people in the gym to coaching people online.
I did this by starting a free beta program that was modeled from the program I was running for our advanced members in the gym. This was a little higher tough program that figured out where growth opportunities were in peoples lives. Most of the time it’s not what people are doing in the gym that’s holding them back, it’s what they are doing outside of the gym.
This beta program was built from Facebook friends helped me iron out what worked for people and what didn’t work.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Social media, and Instagram specifically. There is so much opportunity to share what you know, and it’s so easy to get almost immediate feedback.
I tell everyone wanting to start a business to get on Instagram and TikTok and teach people about your product. This helps you talk to people and see if there are people interested.
Sharpen your axe!
