I LOVE the transparency! I think this is more helpful that you could possibly know to help empower people(particularly women) to advocate for themselves financially. Money is a hard thing to discuss and I think a lot of us were raised in a society where you don't discuss it and that does all of us a huge disservice. Thank you!!!!
Very much agreed!
I love how your content evolves over time and is connected to your own expiriences (strength training for women, now strength training and pregnancy). So I could definetely see you as a 70 year old teaching us about strength training as a granny and I'm excited about it. :D
Your channel surprises me every day since I discovered it ! Honestly, your transparency, no b/s message and honesty in your fitness journey is soooooo refreshing. I love it ! Please continue !!!!
I really liked when you said that the most important part of creating a business is having a good product. I feel like these days people want to create brands or companies just for the sake of calling themselves "entrepreneurs" but they create something that nobody ever wanted or needed. I absolutely love your business ethic and I'm really happy that I've been subscribed to Stronger by the day since day 1 😍🤩
I am not looking to start a business, I just love your content. You are so passionate, genuine, and transparent. I also love your energy and good vibes. I used to be a “cardio girl” and in the last year I’ve come to love strength training. That’s how I found your channel and I’ve been hooked ever since. Thanks for all that you do. Just keep working at it and your business will be where you want it to be.
I’m starting my first official company, also with my life partner, and I looove these kind of videos! Now you not only inspire me in my fitness journey but also in my entrepeneur journey 🤩💪🏽💓 thanks a lot for your passion and content!
So refreshing to see a transparent video on the figures of owning and running a business! Thank you for sharing!
Watched to the end because I was curious about it and loved the transparency. As a current SBtD member I appreciate how much work you guys have put into the app over the last 12 months!
I watched until the end bc I’ve been supporting you since you lived in NY! I’m not even into fitness anymore (single working mom of 5 so time doesn’t exist) but I just adore you!! So happy to see you succeed!!!
I own a little tiny business and really appreciate women like you that own much larger businesses sharing your knowledge and info. Thank you! ☺️
I'm loving these videos. I'm building my fitness business right now. All about building a community of fitness and motivation. I'm overwhelmed and excited all at once.
Great video, Meg! Loving the business related content and I appreciate your transparency. I'm an aspiring business owner and I love learning from women like you!
Thank you for the transparency
Got to the end of the vid. My husband and I own a business in a completely different field, but I find business talk in general fascinating. I've been a Meg fan for a few years now and I appreciate that we have gone through similar life experiences at the same time (ie having babies). Thanks for the ongoing content!
I'm a brand strategist and love listening to successful entrepreneurs talk about these things and actually be honest. There's a huge problem with people feeling like they need to always show the successes and never talk about the things that aren't working. thanks for the breakdown!
I started watching your videos back when you were newly pregnant. I was also pregnant at the same time; (We shared pregnancies!) your daughter is about 1 week older than my son. So I really loved the motivation I got from your prenatal videos and they really kept me going in the gym throughout my pregnancy- up until birth! So thank you!!!
I still watch to this day and I just really like your energy and your vibe. I’m not an influencer, I have a full time gov career in the US, but I found this video pretty cool & informative. 😊❤
Business owner here 👋 just launched our automotive detailing business this April, so not fitness related. But I've been following you since before you had the app and I learned all of my lifting from you! 💪 You are a huge inspiration for so many women out there. And I love seeing this side as well! Especially now that I'm doing the business thing too 😁 Yes this video was very helpful! You and DLB are rockstars and I could only hope to be half as successful as the both of you 💯
Really loved the ‘just start’ mentality. I’ve been thinking about starting to make content, but always make excuses as to why I shouldn’t. Thanks for the pep talk!
I just love you and love to see your videos, buts that’s for being so honest and open with your audience. Also it’s super cool to see you and your team grow especially because you have kept your mission and values through this process. ❤
Thank you so much!!
Looove this behind the scenes on biz, strategy, and money. Thank you for sharing!
Meg, been a follower for a long time, haven't seen new content so came to check out the page. Love that this video was at the top. I'm looking to start a business and this was so helpful!
Just started my own business this July, started watching you a year ago, enjoy the mix of fitness and business.
Stronger by the day affiliated gyms! I feel like I've got very few options for gyms in my area that have the MegSquats vibe, ya know? Women lifting weights empowering each other vibes is what we need to spread into all the gyms across the world 🌎
I would LOVE this. Omg
As soon as I saw your Ft Worth gym, I wanted to join so bad. Make one in Austin. 😍
There’s one in Lakeway that I love!!!
Dallas needs that!
Watched all the way through ❤ I’m a PT and manage a team of trainers at a commercial gym in Vancouver BC
Thank you again for posting this. I get that it hasn't gotten the most views, but it's extremely useful and gives a lot of good energy to those who are planning to start their own business.
Loved your response to the question on imposter syndrome. I'm a therapist and I just launched my private practice last year, and I sometimes struggle with valuing my services monterality. Your response was so practical and filled with knowledge! Definitely going to apply it (alongside the other gems you dropped in the video) to my business. Thank you!
Great video! Been following you for 5 years! Great to see you grow! LOVE the app!
Thank you so much for sharing this info! 💕 I’ve been a supporter for years! Appreciate all that you and your team do to empower women!!!
I really loved this video. I'm not ever interested in being a business owner but I love listening to successful women break down and talk about their success because I'm interested in being a successful woman! I hope that makes sense.
Thank you for being so open about your process and answering personal financial questions! This was great and was very motivational! 😁
love these videos! it's so cool to see the transparency and how much your mission really means to you and your team. also PROUD AF of you for your success!
I was wondering if you'd ever talk about the business side of things!! I watched the entire video and it was incredibly insightful and helpful, so THANK YOU! I hope to follow a similar path in my fitness/ content creator career and you're one of my biggest inspirations!
This was SO helpful and informative. Thanks so much Meg!
Wow thank your for being so transparent and sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for being so open and sharing your knowledge!
Im not following this career path but this was very informative! I feel like I could apply this to my own career! I wish more influencers were this transparent and helpful with their followers
Thank you for your openness on these questions! You’re so great.
Love love love your channel and everything you do Meg. I just love to listen to you and you transmit this woman's power into others. Love that
Made it to the end. I'm transitioning into coaching (group classes now, individual coaching moving forward) and aspire to own my own business/become self-employed. I'm getting in reps as a coach to make it so I feel comfortable charging people, and I hope to move into something like full-time individual coaching, or gym ownership, or some other fitness/health related business as I gain experience. This video was really helpful in its transparency. I am nervous about switching from employee to self-employed and hearing these stories, tips, etc... is helpful. I think the in depth supplement company start up video would also be super interesting!
I have been following you for a long time here, than on ig, I am a customer and I love all your products ❤️ you are an inspiration and I loved to learn more about your businesses in this video! It has been a joy to follow you through pregnancy (when I was going through the same!) and now with a little girl (saaaame too!). Cheers to you Meg!
Can’t help but be impressed with Meg. Her evolution as a person and as an influencer is really a model example to follow. She’s not only down to earth and real, but her transparency reveals how generous she is as a person to share information. Really cool!
I am day dreaming about starting the first strength training/power lifting and women centered gym in my area. This was super inspiring, thanks for your honesty and sharing your process.
Thanks as always for amazing and meaningful content, Meg! Props to Grid for that golden light with the wind fluttering through your hair and that right side blue glow at 17:20. Loving the mixture of creative angles and lighting!
I like Meg’s brands because of who she is, I think she just seems genuine. Also, the lighting in this video makes her look like an angel! So beautiful!
Super cool vid! I've always worked *for* companies and I have no clue how to *start* a company, let alone do it well. It's really enlightening to hear about that side of things and your experience.
Such an awesome video, thanks for sharing Meg! 😊
Maybe be unrelated, but I resigned my current job to go into private practice. Loved watching this video. Great inspiration and wish you and your family an amazing 2023
I'm a nothing and want to be something but I don't know what. I absolutely love your content and love the businesses you own and run, I would love to be able to get into that here in the UK however I don't have the finances to get started and I wouldn't know how to start. What you have made is amazing but that also comes from who you are, you got our attention, we like who YOU are, you are very different from many "influencers" I see on Social media and I really think that separates you from the rest. You are a keeper Meg!
If you ever want to branch out your businesses to the UK, please keep me in mind ha! Laters! x
Im loving the transparency
Watched until the end! Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. I am in the process of starting my own wellness channel and all of the info you covered was very helpful!
Glad it was helpful! And good luck!
Meg, you are an attractive woman, but I always show up because you actually pursue good information and optimal strategies in all of these areas that you talk about. You are honest and genuine in your approach to presenting all of the information, and its refreshing, and I find it relaxing to see a real person talking who actually cares. I found you several years ago when I was looking to critique my deadlift and squat technique, those videos were very helpful and as a large strong man and veteran of the gym I realized I had some room for improvement.
This was such a helpful video! I have so many ideas now. I wish more people would make videos like this just to show what is possible
I've been following for a few years now and just wanted to see your success!
I really LOVED it! The way how you talk about your business and what you do, it shows the confidence, passion and security that you have on yourself and your knowledge. And I think this is amazing to share with your audience, your words are empowering young entrepreneurs and people who want to start a fitness journey. Thank you for that !🙏🏼 I truly appreciate it. Pd: I just enrolled stronger by the day and I’m loving it 😍 I was looking so long for a program like that 🫠
You are killing it and I have enjoyed your videos for a long time and yes I always finish your videos
I did find this helpful and watched to the end. It played in the background while I was working the day job. Starting following you when I recognized how often you mention (and continue to mention) women should not be afraid of barbell training. I've been in instructor and CPT for 5-6 years, and I'm opening a hot yoga/weightlifting gym in Forest Park, IL. I've been thinking from the other side of your concern. Men should not be scared to be flexible and mobile. So as you changed from trainer/competitor to a business, I started too. My team started the woes of construction, but it's all for added value to another's life. It's uplifting to see others resolve and improve their situation. To your point, stronger by the day...
I’m local to Forest Park. When is your gym planning to open? I would love to know more details!
I watched this out of curiosity and because I find you very inspiring even though I don't plan on ever starting a business!
This was excellent. Thank you. It's been so interesting watching your evolution over the years.
I would love to hear about your supplement company! The pros and cons, mistakes made, etc. Also thank you for being so honest and open about your companies and your journey to this point.
You are an inspiration! I am a business owner, mother and PT (Jan 2023 will make it a year in the field). I watch videos and say “yeah, I wanna be just like Meg! Lol
Thank you for creating content that makes women feel strong and badass af ❤
You are an absolute inspiration and the transparency, wow! This takes some anxiety away from me. I feel you really want us all to succeed, thank you Meg. I have no interest in building a fitness related business but one in a different male dominated industry. I feel very validated as I also follow Alex for input 💪 watched to the end, your vibes are awesome :)
I'm not a business owner, I'm not an influencer. I'm just a woman into fitness with a dream of starting her own gym chains. Thank you for all the great content you put out there and all the efforts you put into your work. I look up to you and I hope one day I'll be able to achieve what you have achieved. lots of luck and best of luck
I watched the whole video while I did 12-3-30 from my hotel gym. Business and money just interests me and this was fun to learn about business Meg 😊
I’m loving the last few videos!! It looks like you took some of Max Chewning’s advice from that podcast and put your own twist on it. Looking forward to seeing what’s next 😊
Yes I did! 👏
Owner of several businesses here.
You are doing well to not pay yourself from a potentially failed attempt.
And I would definitely make an effort to live on less and take less salary from the other 2 companies until you have 10x the capital in cash or liquid.
Keep up the good work Meg!
Get that money girl!! ❤ and thanks for the knowledge
Watched this video bc I just started using the barbell about a year ago. I was scared out of mind about hurting myself and searched proper squat form and your video popped up and I been watching your videos since then. However, I been going back and forth in my mind starting a planner/journal business. This was amazing advice.
I watched the whole video sis!
Your speaking skills are very eloquent. It’s one of the skills I am proactively working on. What is one your struggles that you are trying to improve that will help with your business?
I stayed till the end bc this was interesting. I have no plans to own a business but this is very inspiring!
Awesome video. Ditto the comments on transparency and honesty. Starting a business to sell your own product or service takes an f-ton of work and sweat-equity.
For anyone aspiring to build a business, surround yourself by people who are smarter than you, be super patient, and do your homework: health and fitness is a super saturated market, so be sure you have something different to offer your target demographic. Know what your competitive advantage is. And like Meg says, start now!
Great advice!!
I really appreciate this video. Incredible advice Megs.
Got to the end of the video. Been here since you were in DC recording on your phone (do you still have that map you had on the wall, I loved it!), probably one of the first members of SBD. Just about to launch my own business and hoping to start CZcams with what I'll be doing soon after.
Really enjoying the “behind the scenes” series. Not an influencer or content created, and no plans to become one, but I find it really interesting
Well I’ve just found my new business coach 😂
This is possibly one of the best videos I’ve ever watched on YT.
Loved this video and yes, I watched it all the way through. I am a business owner in a male dominate industry. I would definitely like to see a video on how you started your supplements company from scratch. (I have not interest in starting a supplements company lol, just wanted to see the route you took to get something like this off the ground. Seems like a lot of red tape could be involved and wanted to see how it was navigated) I love your channel! I love you being a boss! (And your daughter is so darn cute!) Maybe a video of just a day in the life with you and your husband and daughter. A DITL away from work. What do you all do as a family? Hobbies? Playdates? Just a thought!!!
I watched because I do think I can help people (as per your excellent advice) and would love to be a business owner. I’ve founded a successful nonprofit, but keen to try something more direct, that I can lead, without relying on or being steered by donors. that still does good in the world. I loved delving into your story, its very inspiring and your openness is appreciated, and makes everything you do interesting. thanks! I have a disability now, but tempted to nonetheless, also get jacked!
waaaaiiitttt, im a Stronger by the Day user and having those other features would be insane!!!
It is nice to see someone from Akron that is doing good. Im proud of ya. Great job Woman!
Nice video! Loving this series! Edit to add that I watched this twice! Very informative! I need to know how to sell my service and get clients. I'm 40 and really not a social butterfly. I do have a passion for lifting and believe in its benefits. I just need to find the confidence to sell my service to others. I agree with starting out with friends and family. I would even have no problem with free services. I'd like to do in home personal training BTW. Thanks for this video!
Watched the entire video bc I love all the content you create even tho I am neither a small business owner or influencer...💪
I honestly took a lot from this video:) and the transparency, God whewww Meg! Thanks a lot ♡♡♡
You're so welcome!
Watched just out of curiosity. I’ve been using your app for a couple of months now and I love it. It is so user-friendly and the exercise gifs are a godsend. The fact that you can substitute exercises so easily, see how you lifted the same exercise last time… I could go on. Just so many details I love. Thanks for putting your all in it!
You're amazing Meg!!! As an iOS developer myself, I empathize with all the bug fixing. BOSS LADY!
This was so awesome Meg!! Really want to meet up with you soon!
Thank you, this was very interesting! I watched the whole video. I've been following your journey since I first started pursuing fitness (mostly through powerlifting). Professionally, I am a software developer and it was very interesting to hear about your process for the app. I plan to start my own software agency at some point. Thanks!
I love all the "shit you have to say"! I enjoy how you connect the education aspect of exercise with the overall fitness realm. I admire how you present your information! I am applying to physical therapy school and so I also love watching how you empower women to be strong because I hope to do that as a physical therapist! And also I want a megsquats approved gym in portland, oregon!
Literally watching this the third time over because between now and the last viewing, I'm FAR closer to opening a business and starting to make my break from working for other people for a limited salary under an untrustworthy entity.
THANK YOU
Because women need females to look up to. It makes success feel relatable.
You are a gem, thank you so much for your transparency! I'm so inspired by what you do and appreciate your genuine approach. For someone just trying to get into the youtube game, did you go out and buy a nice camera and all the things or did you just shoot with what you had until you started making money? Along the same lines, when did you make the decision to get help with video editing, creating thumbnails, etc?
Watched until the end because I'm just a curious person. In a completely different line of work but I find it all fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! And for letting me know!
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for being so real 🥰
Congrats on your 500k subs!
Slowly starting my fitness CZcams channel if that counts as being an entrepreneur ^^
Wishing you success! One of my goals is to start posting fitness videos as well. It is really intimidating lol. Coaching locally is totally different than putting yourself out there for the world haha.
literally I have no interest in starting a business but this was so informative and cool to watch!!!
Love you and love this content
I really appreciate the true speech you're giving us 👌🏻💙
I appreciate this; learning 🧠 📝
Love the transparency, been a long time lurker but just realized I wasn't a subscriber. Will show this channel to my girlfriend to further inspire her.
Awesome! Thank you!
Got to the end of the video and not a business owner or influencer but I enjoy your content and use your different brands the past few years. Random request but I'm not sure what's going to be in the StrongStrongSuppy rebrand but I'd like to suggest gym bags it they're not already in it. I've been shopping around for a large durable backpack that can fit lots of things like belts and hip thrust pads, or be able to attach them to the bag somehow, and I feel like there's not any good options that don't cost an arm and a leg. *manifesting*
Watching this instead of getting ready for work
🤘
My husband is a business owner, and it always boggles my mind how much business savvy it takes to be “successful.” Way over my head 😅 I admire you and your ethic!! Rock on!!
There's a lot that goes into it for sure.
It's not over your head! If he can do it, you could as well.
I love Alex Hormozi with all my heart. This was so so good! 🥰🙏💓❤️🌹
