We recently connected with Kareem Tyler and have shared our conversation below.

Kareem, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.

There was a time where I didn’t know how to market my business. I use to go to the malls and pass out business cards, parks, salons, stores, etc… and I’ve learned that some people don’t like being bothered with business while they’re out enjoying leisure time. And social media really wasn’t working for me either. I talked to GOD and asked him for a sign on what to do next, and he gave me a sign to hold on the corner to market myself and that’s when business began popping. I’m 6’5 215lbs, I stand out on the streets. So I understood why GOD gave me this height. To stand out!!!

Kareem, 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 a certified personal trainer. I’ve been a trainer for over 10 years. I never wanted to be a trainer honestly. My friends and co-workers would always ask me to train them because I’m in good, strong shape. I would just tell them to come with me to the gym. I got tired of working the 9-5, hours getting cut, manager hating, I decided to give training a try. And never looked back since. I was fortunate out the gate to work for myself and build my business

Do you think you’d choose a different profession or specialty if you were starting now?

Yes I would, just make sure every year is a level up.

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

Giving good customer service, being honorable, no shady business.
