We all know the detrimental effects of all or nothing thinking when it comes to health and fitness, so why do we think that way when it comes to our businesses? All or nothing typically ends up being nothing, so if you’re starting an online business, it’s paramount to take messy action and overcome perfectionism. Expecting perfection from yourself will only lead to burn out and abandonment. By taking immediate action rather than waiting for the perfect moment, you will always find yourself closer to your goals. Progress is always better than perfection.

Training, coaching, and teaching are all very different skillsets that you’ll have to learn as you run your online fitness business. In this episode, Jill emphasizes the importance of understanding these differences if you’re looking to enhance your business models. Online coaching focuses on behavior change and transformation, while virtual training is more about providing workout plans and accountability, and teaching is the least customized of the three but requires communication and broadcasting skills. Even if you don’t have the most experience with any of these skillsets, the good news is that each one of them is something you can learn and perfect through time and repetition.
