Do you consider yourself a fit individual? If so, you may have a leg up in the competition when it comes to business success.

And no, I’m not joking.

Business and fitness might seem like two separate worlds. But if you look closer, you’ll see that the same traits that make someone successful in the gym can also make them a force in the business world.

As someone who’s been in the fitness industry for decades (writing, coaching, and even running my own businesses), I can tell you firsthand that being a fit individual gives you a leg up. I’ve also seen it with other business leaders in the industry as well.

While I don’t know if any research actually exists on this topic, I’m at least going to lay out my feelings, findings, and opinions on whether being a fit individual gives you a business advantage.
 
Being fit typically demonstrates discipline, hard work ethic, time management skills (ability to get to the gym), and generally your fitter employees are more pulled together, less sloppy. I've heard many people say they're never going to hire a morbidly obese person again because they often demonstrate the exact opposite of all these traits.

good article.
