Daniel then decided to undergo testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) so he could optimize his testosterone levels. After that, he saw improvements in his energy, libido, and mood. As a result, he started a coaching business focused predominantly on teaching men how to optimize their health without the need for medication.
Facing Challenges When He Started
“What most people don’t realize is that starting a business is easy. Maintaining it and making it profitable is the hard part,” Daniel said, recalling that he had two main challenges when he began.
The first challenge was having to deal with his self-doubt and lack of confidence in his ability to pull it off. The second was his lack of skill. He had quality service to offer that includes coaching and mentoring men to optimize their health through nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle change but he had no idea how to market himself. So how did Daniel overcome these challenges as well as grow and maintain his personal brand?
It was through the advice of a close friend of his who has a successful e-commerce business. To Daniel, he said, “Everything will change when you make your first dollar online.”
Before he created his personal brand, Daniel quit his job in investment banking so the reality of having to rely on himself to make a living rattled him.
Investing in Himself to Grow His Brand
One day, after months of struggle and self-doubt, he made his first sale online.
“I thumped my fist on the table in jubilation and did a little victory dance in my co-working space. My colleagues looked at me with mouths wide open. Little did they know I had just had a breakthrough that was years in the making,” Daniel shared.
He Became a Bonafide Entrepreneur!
For the next months, Daniel invested heavily in coaching programs and masterminds to learn invaluable business skills to market himself online and become a better coach. Three years later, his coaching business thrived and he has been making a genuine difference in people’s lives which gives him a sense of fulfillment.
“Entrepreneurship and perseverance go hand in hand. If you want the former you must possess the latter,” he said.
Now, Daniel has coached hundreds of men to optimize their health, written multiple best-selling books, has even been featured on the pages of national newspapers such as The Guardian, The Sun, and the Staffordshire Sentinel.
But despite all that, Daniel is just getting started.
