a gentleman named Jim Flanagan.
I was a bit caught off guard to say the least.
See, Jim was Arthur Jones' right hand man
way back in the early 70's.
He also opened the first ever Nautilus Fitness
Center.
In fact, his first coach was one of the true
pioneers of weightlifting in the U.S. - Milo
Steinborn.
Well, like I said - I was caught off guard by the
call. It's not every day when you get to talk to
someone that was that involved in pioneering
something as big as Nautilus.
I have always found Arthur Jones to be one of the
most fascinating people in the history of the fitness
industry.
He was a true pioneer and a mega-entrepreneur.
In fact, he really changed the way strength training
was perceived and in many respects - changed the
industry as a whole.
Whether you agree with what he had to say (and these
days most don't) or not - he had a huge impact on
the industry.
So back to Jim. He is doing a product that targets
the Baby Boomers who were part of the 'Nautilus
Generation' and wanted to ask me a couple of
questions.
I must admit, I was fascinated by how passionate
he was about what he was saying and how much
he felt like the message needed to be heard.
But I guess that is why Nautilus grew like it did.
Arthur Jones was passionate about his beliefs.
He instilled that passion in his team.
It ignited a revolution in the fitness industry.
We're in a different era now and many of the
beliefs Arthur Jones had are dated, but the
concept that passion is the driving force behind
anything big still is as true as ever.
If you want to build your own empire - it
starts with passion.
Find what you're passionate about and build
your business around it...you may just be able
to create your own fitness revolution.
Dedicated to your success,
Pat
