In this episode of Fitness Business Insights with Matt Robinson, I explain why you’re far more suited to running a successful fitness business than you probably give yourself credit for.


We dig into your hidden superpower as a coach: your ability to handle uncertainty, take risks, and stick with delayed gratification — the same qualities you developed through your own health and fitness journey. I’ll show you how fitness acts as a meta-skill, bringing together focus, discipline, accountability, and resilience in a way that maps perfectly onto business.


If you’ve been doubting yourself, questioning whether you’re “cut out for this,” or feeling the weight of a tough spell, this episode is designed to remind you just how much you’ve already proven to yourself.


What You’ll Learn

✅ Why self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and negative self-talk never fully disappear (and why that’s not a bad thing)

✅ How your fitness journey trained you to handle risk, uncertainty, and delayed gratification

✅ Fitness as a meta-skill — and how to transfer those abilities directly into your business

✅ Why tough periods in business are a test of tolerance, not a sign you’re failing

✅ One key question to ask yourself: “What’s really holding me back?” — and how it unlocks your next level
