009: How To Turn Your Calling into a Career with Chris Johnson

Very few jobs are a perfect fit. As part of any organization, you may find yourself doing some things you're incredible at - and a handful that, while necessary, don't play to your strengths. While serving as the fitness director of the Michigan Athletic Club, Chris Johnson discovered that so many people didn't know how to address the underlying causes of their health problems. They didn't need a diet or exercise routine so much as they needed to take baby steps to make major life changes - and the more he spoke on this, the more he discovered that people needed to hear this message. He's now the founder of On Target Living, a 9-person team, including his children, dedicated to sharing the REST | EAT | MOVE Methodology. In 2018, he authored Capacity, a must-read book on leadership, and he also hosts the On Target Living podcast. Today, Chris joins the podcast to talk about how he built a family business dedicated to his life's work, his proven system for bringing out the best in others and himself, and practical steps you can take right now to boost your health and improve your performance. KEY TAKEAWAYS What Chris learned from working 80-hour, 5-day weeks working for Frito-Lay and Butternut Bread - and why he's so concerned about the long-term health effects of sleep deprivation. Why Chris got inspired to start On Target Living while working as the Michigan Athletic Club's fitness director - and what so many people looking for a new diet or exercise routine really need. The reason Chris doesn't see On Target Living as a wellness company. What Chris learned didn't work when it came to speaking engagements or selling - and why you should never overload your audience with information. How working with his children has given Chris expanded resources, a bigger perspective, and the ability to impact more people than ever before.   Get the Full Show Notes HighTowerAdvisors.com Subscribe, Rate & Review the Podcast MarkKravietz.com/subscribe Connect with Mark Kravietz LinkedIn Twitter
