Guess what,\xa0Healthpreneurs? We\u2019ve got another super-cool guest on our show! Surprised? You shouldn\u2019t be, because this is the\xa0Healthpreneur\xa0Podcast! Today, I\u2019m chatting with Joe Arko, owner of\xa0a business consulting service called PT Profits\xa0and a certification program called ATS (Advanced Training System).\xa0

\xa0

What\u2019s more, Joe\xa0was awarded the 2017 International Trainer of the Year, was\xa0nominated for the 2017 Fitness Hall of Fame, and has an 8,000-square foot training facility called the Elite Performance Center. Needless to say, this guy knows his stuff, so it\u2019s no wonder he\u2019s\xa0leading, mentoring, and inspiring others.\xa0\xa0

Joe has put in work. He opened his training facility on his own, learned how to delegate, and scaled his business by teaching others to do what he does. He quickly learned that, if he wanted more freedom and time with his kids, he was going to need a business model that didn\u2019t rely 100% on him. Tune in to hear how his business grew into what it is today, how he overcame the growing pains, and why he believes the \u201cpersonal\u201d needs to stay in personal training.\xa0\xa0
