This is the story of how work ethic, dreaming big, and working with the right people paid off in an ENORMOUSLY PROFITABLE WAY.

Peter Taunton was educated in a two-room schoolhouse; toured as a racquetball pro; founded Snap Fitness, the world’s largest fitness franchise; and now owns a resort in … wait for it … the Serengeti!

And that’s only the tip of the iceberg of Peter’s success as an entrepreneur, business owner, and leader.

Key Points

• Leading by example, not hesitating to take on the hardest tasks, sincerely interacting with your clients, and being a genuine part of the community are transferable strategies for success that you can apply to any business.
• No one makes it on their own; so find and surround yourself with loyal, coachable, disciplined, and passionate people and then retain them.
• Three pieces of advice to entrepreneurs:
  • Have a full-blown business plan that starts with your vision and ends with an exit plan.
  • Have patience.
  • Don’t be afraid to fail.
• Leaders need to have standards and hold the line, but they also need to lead with authority, compassion, and respect.
