Over the past 12 months we have come across some amazing stories of business owners who have raised money for charities or increased awareness about causes that are important to them.   We frequently hear about fitness businesses that want to do something to give back to their local community or a charity, but sometimes its hard to know where to start or what to do.

In this weeks show, we hear from two businesses – One on One in the USA and Onward Fitness in Australia.  Both have approached community support in a unique way and both have made an incredible difference to peoples lives.

Top Tips From The Show

 

Choose the charities you want to give to, then choose the service (in your business) you want to use as a channel to raise awareness / funds.

Have the clients make their donation direct to the charity.

Do as much research as you can in order to understand your target.

You must have self belief.

You must know your why – know the reason why you are doing it.
