"Investing in yourself always pays the best dividends".
That was the message from our guest speaker, Alwyn Cosgrove,
when he rocked the TT Summit last June.
His humorous yet touching story of how he built Results Fitness
while beating cancer - TWICE - had us all enthralled.
As Alwyn said about having Stage IV cancer, "There is no Stage V.
That means you're dead."
That means you're dead."
And yet despite fighting for his life in 2006, his gym had its best year
ever financially. Isn't that amazing?
Alwyn shared what he and his wife Rachel had done over the previous
five years to make that happen.

The third big lesson that Alwyn shared was on becoming a category
killer. He's done extensive studies of what makes brands like
Starbucks and Zappos into "category killers", where they literally
have no other competition at the same level as them.

In Alwyn's business coaching program, they teach this concept to
gym owners.
