You Are Not Your Financial “Mistakes”
“If you believe that you’re a bad spouse, then you’re going to be a bad spouse. If you believe that you’re bad with money, you’re just going to happen to spend that extra amount that you have that could have gone into savings. ”
— Billy Hofacker
11 years ago, personal trainer Billy Hofacker opened his front door to find his car being repossessed. While he was doing amazing work helping other people achieve their fitness goals, he was struggling with his financial health… and was $130,000 in debt.
Within just five years, he had paid back every last penny!
Now, Billy is a black belt in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu AND in fitness finance.
Billy is the owner and CEO of Total Body Boot Camp and Performance Center, with two facilities operating in Long Island, New York. He also helps fitness professionals build their financial muscles through his Your Fitness Money Coach podcast and program.
