We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Damian Young. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Damian below.
Damian, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
It’s all about those little daily wins! I think we gather a greater grip on self-esteem as we attain new goals and build those little wins into stepping-stones for a more confident life. Those little wins add up to big changes.
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
At Dayo Fitness + Mixed Martial Arts we offer Personal Training, Fitness classes and Martial Arts for adults and children ages 5 and up. The most exciting part is watching people gain confidence in their ability and achieve new heights in their lives. The gym really transfers to every aspect of your life. When you have the grit to get through a hard class or personal training session, the rest of the day is a breeze! Our self-defense seminars are always fun too!
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
First and foremost, you must have Discipline. My journey became a lot easier when I learned to shut out all the noise, bear down and stick to a schedule. People will go work 5 days per week, 8 hours per day for someone else, but won’t spend 1 hour per day on their own goals. Get a schedule and stick to it! Second, Determination! If owning a business and transforming your local area into something you want live in and be proud of is your goal, you have to have grit. The city, your friends and even your family will doubt your abilities. Between the three businesses we’ve owned we have run into almost every wrench you can throw into a project. Trust your vision, be ready for everything and know your worth! Lastly, you must be a “Bridge-Builder” for others. Someone needs your knowledge, skills or connections. If you` can’t help them, find the one who can. This will pay you a thousand times in return. You didn’t get to where you are without someone helping you, so make sure you give it back. You can go faster by yourself, but you’ll go further with others.
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
We have some really amazing things in the works! We are always looking for fighters and sponsors for our gym and fight promotions. We work with anyone who wants to show their business or skills to thousands of people per month. You can call (623) 202-5402 to get more information.
