Zero to 100 by Shannon “The Cannon” Hudson

Description

He bet every penny he had on a 30-minute workout — and won. World champion kickboxer Shannon “The Cannon” Hudson could have stopped pushing after winning it all. Instead he bet everything on an idea: a 30-minute kickboxing-themed fitness workout. The result was 9Round Fitness, a franchise that exploded from a single gym to 100 locations. Zero to 100, published in 2016, is his no-holds-barred account of how he did it.

Teaming up with his wife Heather, Hudson reveals the unglamorous truth behind the success story: the debt, the doubt, the 100-hour weeks, and the moments he nearly quit. Along the way he shares his “knockout nuggets” of business wisdom — trusting your gut over the crowd’s advice, watching the bank account daily, and what it really takes to scale one gym to a hundred.

Whether you want to start a business, buy a franchise, or just need fuel for chasing your dreams, Zero to 100 delivers motivation with a fighter’s heart — a business memoir written by a man who fought for everything he has.
