Marketing and Growth Strategies to 10X Your Business
Chris Cooper is the founder of the largest mentoring practice in the fitness world, with clients on every continent. He started his entrepreneurial life as a gym owner. In 2005, Cooper had a new home, wife and baby. His job as a personal trainer would not cover the bills, so he opened a business -- or so he thought. Three years in, Cooper realized he really did not have a business, but had just bought himself a high-risk job with no upside. When he missed a pay period, he hit bottom and realized he needed help. He found a mentor, and paid for the service with a check that should have bounced. Over the next two years, Cooper was taught how to build a real business. He began mentoring gym owners in 2013, and founded his own practice, Two-Brain Business, in 2016. It rapidly grew to become the largest fitness mentorship practice in the world, with over 350 gyms participating worldwide. In 2017, Cooper opened the Two-Brain Workshop to help entrepreneurs in his beleaguered city. He immediately attracted the attention of many local business owners who wanted to grow their service business.
