This episode hits different.
In Episode 5 of the Stronger Every Day Podcast, I sat down with Sara Gilbert — business strategist, mindset coach, and full-on powerhouse — to talk about how fitness doesn’t just change your body, it changes your trajectory. And when it comes to success, the connection between fitness and entrepreneurship is a lot tighter than people think.
Sara isn’t just another entrepreneur. She’s someone who left the corporate world with no money in the bank and built something fully her own — not just financially, but in full alignment with who she is. Her secret weapon? Consistency. Self-leadership. And yes — lifting heavy things at 6:30 am.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
We talked about:
How lifting weights strengthens your mindset just as much as your body
The power of language in business and life (stop saying “I’ll try”)
Creating a business around your personal non-negotiables
Why fitness was the foundation for every next level she’s hit in life — and how that ties directly into how she leads, coaches, and succeeds
If you’ve ever wondered how showing up in the gym translates into showing up in your career, this one’s for you. Because fitness and entrepreneurship aren't separate journeys — they’re both built on grit, clarity, and how you talk to yourself when no one’s watching.
💡 The Real Link Between Fitness and Entrepreneurship
Sara left the corporate world in 2010 with no safety net. What grounded her through that leap? Her daily 6:30 am gym routine.
“If I can push myself to do one more rep, I can push myself to make one more move in business.”
Throughout the interview, we explore how physical consistency lays the groundwork for mental toughness and entrepreneurial vision. She reminds us that discipline in one area of life inevitably spills into others — a cornerstone of fitness and entrepreneurship.
🧠 Mindset, Language, and Self-Leadership
Sara explains how the language we use reflects our inner mindset—and ultimately shapes the results we achieve. She talks about how replacing “I’ll try” with “I’m doing” changed the trajectory of her life and business.
“Words are not just letters. They crystallize emotion.”
Her strategy: don’t just build a business — build one that aligns with your non-negotiables. And it starts by getting radically clear about what you want your life to look like.
