Vision, Passion & Action With Tony Doherty Part I

Vision without passion is just a fantasy.

Vision & passion without action is just an illusion.

But when you combine vision, passion & action in pursuit of your most ambitious goals, you can change the world.

And Tony Doherty has proven it.

Affectionately known as the Godfather of Bodybuilding in Australia, Tony has arguably achieved more in the fitness business than anybody else in the country.

From Doherty’s Gyms, to the Doherty’s Gym Brand, to the IFBB Pro League Australia, to the Arnold Sports Festival, and everything in between, Tony’s resume is astonishing.

But it hasn’t all been sunshine & rainbows along the way.

In this episode, Joseph Mencel sits down with Tony Doherty to chat about his 40 year journey in the fitness business.

From the necessary elements to turn a vision into reality when you start from the bottom, to exerting extraordinary patience in the process, to the preparation & discipline necessary to achieve high levels of success, Joseph & Tony take a deep dive into the valuable lessons Tony has learned through his life experience.

They then change direction and discuss how to keep going when you get knocked down, before addressing the 3 most common dream killers that most of us will experience during our lives, while providing advice on how to maintain perspective through the darkest of days.

Joseph & Tony then close out the episode with a conversation about what the future of bodybuilding and fitness expos in Australia looks like.

An episode so jam packed with practical & strategic advice, we had to break it up into 2 parts!

You’ll want to listen to this one more than once, and share it with everyone you know who is interested in the business of fitness.

Enjoy!
