As a company that does custom printed promotional items in Toronto since 1985 I come across many interesting entrepreneurs. I met Tammy Gunn several years ago when we were both doing self-development courses. Over a year ago Tammy took the big leap and quit her full time office admin job and went full time into running her fitness business Live Out Loud Movement http://liveoutloudmovement.wordpress.com
In the interview Tammy and I have a conversation divided into two parts, the first part is from the business point of view, about her experience taking the big leap and running a small business as a fitness instructor full time, Tammy talks about the benefits and challenges. One of the most valuable is her advice on the steps to take before quitting your job and going full time into business for yourself. If you learn one thing from this video, it is the importance of a business coach. If you are a fitness instructor, personal trainer, musician, life coach, or any service provider looking to quit your full time job and go on to running a full time business then you will benefit from Tammy’s advice.
Next we discuss marketing for a small business, Tammy describes her unique gorilla marketing ideas and we go in depth into social media marketing for small business in Toronto. Currently Tammy does a lot of blogging and Facebook work. As the co-owner of Artik I am doing social media marketing with Facebook, Google plus and with a new format which is video and audio pod-casting with this video being the start.
In the second part of the interview Tammy and I discussed Fitness and weight loss, as a fitness instructor in Zumba and Laughter Yoga, Tammy does 20 to 24 classes a week, this means 20 – to 24 hours of fitness workout every single week. Tammy tells me about her personal journey from being overweight, smoking and unhealthy to working on her weight loss and fitness through different forms of training.
Tammy told me about the unique fitness class called laughter yoga, I learned that 20 minutes of deep laughter is equivalent to 40 minutes on a rowing machine and more fun!
It took Tammy several years to find a fitness she loved, dancing! Through Zumba Tammy was able to get fit and have fun this passion became her part time work and now her full time fitness company.
