After years of mentoring entrepreneurs, I can tell you there are four distinct phases of entrepreneurship: the Founder Phase; the Farmer Phase; the Tinker Phase; and the Thief Phase. Each phase requires a different mindset, different tactics and different types of help.
Today, we will be discussing the Founder Phase and what it takes to make it through this phase successfully.
After many years of mentoring entrepreneurs, I now see more clearly the maturation process of starting and growing a business. Today I will be discussing the various stages of entrepreneurship and how they apply to owning a gym.
The four stages of Entrepreneurship are:
the Founder stage
the Farmer stage
the Tinker stage, and
the Thief stage.
Most of this episode is going to cover what to do in the Tinker phase. This is when you enter the realm of success with your first business and you are pondering what to do next!

Today on the show we are joined by Layci Nelson of Nelson Management Strategies. She is the co-founder of the Iron and Mortar Summit which aims to equip entrepreneurs to be the best version of themselves. Layci comes from a family of entrepreneurs and as a result, has an admiration for the change makers and risk takers within the business world. It is because of this that she enjoys engaging and inspiring leaders to become the best version of themselves possible. Layci has been involved in the conception, creation and implementation of over many programs, community initiates, and business models and aims to see the big picture for a company. Equipping business owners to lead is what she does best and today she is here to share this valuable knowledge with you!
We talk today extensively about Layci’s very interesting story on her journey from working professional to CrossFit. In addition, Layci has a very different approach to leadership summits than most which we dive into. She likes to keep her attendance small and focus on engaging with each attendee to help them master the concepts and have the greatest chance at success.
Jeremy Kinnick is an OG of CrossFit. He competed in the 2008 Games - you'll see him in "Every Second Counts." He's a ten-year affiliate owner, a family man and a hell of an athlete.
This episode focuses on hard lessons learned as an athlete and affiliate owner. We'll share a lot of Jeremy's stories about the Games and his gyms. And you'll hear how each has shaped the other.
This is a very valuable interview because mistakes are expensive. People open gyms for all the RIGHT reasons, but close their gyms for all the WRONG reasons. We fix these problems in the Incubator. We don't take everyone; to see if you're a good fit, book a free call with me.
