Meet Tony Drake | Worldwide Online Mindset & Body Transformation Coach

We had the good fortune of connecting with Tony Drake and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tony, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
My passion to speak with others based on my 130 Pounds Weight Loss transformation, how I did it and how my mindset has shifted ever since came out extremely natural. Even though I didn’t see the reactions at first, my old co-worker told me “Tony, You should see how people are responding to you when you show up every day and answer people’s questions about weight loss and mindset! I think you should Train people!”

I replied – “I don’t want to do personal training, stand there and count to 10”

He replied “no man, you need to talk and coach people!”

I had no clue about coaching but long story short, my passion turned into my business of online lifestyle coaching!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
As a Worldwide online Mindset and Body Transformation Coach who lost a total of 130 Pounds and went from being Fat to Fit, BACK TO FAT then fit again, I’ve changed my lifestyle and recently adopted the motto: “You can’t make excuses and progress at the same time.”

I got to a point where I realized my excuses took me to a place where I lost self confidence, running to drinks, junk food and fat burner pills and having the worst mentality ever.

After adjusting my mindset and attitude, I made progress to the healthy lifestyle I really wanted and discovered the ability to help other people reclaim their life, for good!

I’m successfully coaching several dozen people in their journey of progress as a coach, motivator, accountability partner, and bridge to their goals for a healthy lifestyle. From my personal and professional experience, I help people look inward for self-understanding so they can move forward.

What was easy is sharing the information that I’ve gathered from over the past 17 years to help others. The hard part was deciding whether I wanted to turn this into a full time business and having a solid platform to speak to as many people as possible.

The lessons I’ve learned along the way were I kept trying to find the “quick results” when it comes to scaling my business. I tried funnels, sales team and much more. I kept looking for coaches who sounded very scripted. That all came to a halt when I met Wes Watson here at the Gym in San Diego, CA. He’s helped me make such a pivotal point in my business that I believe without his coaching, I don’t know where I’d be at in my business.

What I want the world to know is this. We all have a story. Instead of hiding or masking our pain with drinks, junk food, bad habits and vices, share your story to make an impact on others in this world! Your “Mess” turns into a “Message” to help others save and change their lives! Even though I’ve been spit on, bullied, have had sodas and slurpees thrown at me, signs put on my back, told that I have “Breasts” by my own grandmother, and I was told “I’ll never be anything in life”, I’ve decided to not let them not to control my future.

I am in control of my own life

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
The first place would be at The Gym (Formerly known as World Gym) here in San Diego. This way, we can start our day out with a great fasted workout and raise our vibration and energy.

Once we’re done there, and we’re feeling phenomenal after finishing up our workout and the energy is high level, we can go check out some great places around great people in San Diego.

One place to go eat would be Loving hut in Scripps Ranch, as well as some pop ups in Encinitas, downtown and more.

I love bowling and Hot Shot Golf as well, so that would be something that we can add to the fun!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I want to definitely give a shout-out to

My Wifey, Danelle who has been there for me since day 1! Through all of the ups and downs in life, she’s been my rock as a wife, mother and best friend.

My Brother Dorian Drake. who was the one to get me started on my lifestyle transformation and taught me to invest in my mind and body.

My Coach, Wes Watson. – He’s helped me not only level up in my confidence, but has coached, mentored and helped me believe more in myself, my brand and my business.
