Charles Augustine, 2019 Trainer On Fire

Charles & Lauren Augustine

Charles Augustine and his wife, Lauren, did something most people only dream about. They boldly moved their lives and their dog, to a completely new home in Alexandria Virginia at the end of 2018.

The move was a dream of theirs for years, and they dove in head-first.

Charles has always had a dream of owning his own business. He had owned a fitness business before 2018, which he sold in advance of his family’s move. He was moving without an income stream.

He quickly learned that starting a fitness business from scratch in one of the most competitive markets in the country, where he knew no one, was no small challenge. 

Way out of his comfort zone, he hit the streets and started introducing himself to business owners everywhere. He had bills to pay, and he remained committed to bootstrapping his new business despite constant dead ends.

The financial pressures grew, Progress was slow, and finally, at a networking meeting, he recruited his first client.  Cashing that first check meant that now he was no longer planning to start a business, he was in business.

After doing the work in the 6 Figure Trainer’s Ignite Program, he had a firm plan and in August things started to happen and he began picking up more clients. His goal was to offer a premium program to the community. And he planned to be part of the community for years. All of this left him determined to build a solid and reputable fitness business.

Following the proven marketing strategies outlined in the 6 Figure Trainers Program, he stayed focused and committed.

From April to December of 2019 his training income increased from $0 to $15,500, most of it in the last four months.  He had established himself in a very competitive new community. His overhead for the business is very small, leaving him with cash which he wisely chose to invest back into his business.

Charles’s business is tracking for sales of $100,000 by the end of the year 2020. From $0 to a 6 Figure Income in 18 months! Most importantly, this is just the foundation he is building to support his future expansion plans. Stay tuned.
