Exploring Life & Business with Nicole Murphy of Golden Grit

Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicole Murphy.

Hi Nicole, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason, even if it might not make sense at the moment. Growing up I enjoyed the physical activity but hated school sports. Unfortunately, that was the “cool” thing to do so I felt like an outsider. Those residual feelings took a hit on my self-confidence. I was trying to find myself, but I wasn’t like everyone else. Eventually, I found joy in competing in rodeos and barrel racing. This kept me plenty busy and active, but I wanted to do something that would have more of an impact on my physical appearance to help boost my confidence. That’s when I found an interest in the gym. Little did I know that this hobby would turn into a lifetime career.

Fast forward 6 years, I have run multiple gyms, have a handful of certifications, a college degree, a pro bikini body-building title, and hundreds of clients that I have helped gain confidence inside and outside of the gym. I started out training in person, but it limited the number of people I could help. That’s when I decided to start my own online business to reach many more people in need. That’s how Golden Grit was born.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Life is full of ups and downs, especially with your own business. It is full of long days, uncertainty, and risk. But the potential of helping others who are in the same situation as myself is worth it. Someone influenced me to find a healthy outlet and I want to do the same for others.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?

What was your favorite childhood memory?
My favorite childhood memory is getting my first horse. I worked every day after school, saving enough money to purchase a horse. I felt accomplished being able to make a big purchase but I also was happy to find a new hobby.
