If you are a business owner, the chances are strong that you've read a few guides on how to operate a successful business. The chances are even greater that each of these guides has gone through a stringent editorial process that leaves the final product as a watered-down collection of ideas that includes roughly 50% of the original author's message. The information that isn't fun to hear gets cut, and empty encouragement replaces it.

Gym Talk 5: Business Tips from a Mashed Up Meathead is different. It has not been through a business editor to mask the original author's ideas. It has not been edited to be reader-friendly. It has not had the difficult truths of entrepreneurship removed from its pages. It is an honest, uncensored, and direct account of all the things Dave wishes he would have known before starting his company — and all the things he can now pass on to you.

This is not an internet guru's attempt to rake in money through faux-advice in a cheaply-produced manual. Dave built his company from the ground up. He has already been there. He spent eight years as a successful personal trainer with not only a full schedule of clients but also an extensive staff under him. This was before starting elitefts™ and devoting his life to advancing his company to the height it has achieved today. He has been through it all, both good and bad.

The author of this book has recorded sales in the strength and conditioning industry that total in the high eight figures. He has mentored three other entrepreneurs who have sold in the seven figures. The number of business owners that he has mentored who have sold over six figures is so great that we've lost count.

He has spent years learning how to lead a company, through both mistakes and successes. They're all here in Gym Talk 5, explained to save you years of learning the hard way and put you ahead of the curve in whatever industry you enter.
