Meet Derrick Jacobs | Personal trainer, life coach, & photographer

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

Hi Derrick, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Starting my own business was inspired by observing my mom’s incredible journey of building a business from the ground up. having full control over her life, time, and finances.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a personal trainer as well as a professional photographer with 10 years in fitness and a little over five years in photography. I’m always excited about getting better each day and the unknown of what’s next if I keep moving forward. What sets me apart from others is my optimism and faith that God will do all that I ask if I trust him and live according to his word. I have failed so many times, and there were times I wanted to give up, but I always kept in mind my why. What am I to show my children and the ones I love if I quit? Life is all about lessons and failures and how you come back from setbacks. As long as you keep God first, stay consistent, and work hard, everything will always work out.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Shoutout to my family. My family is my why. They always have my back through the good and the bad times. Being the man I am I always want what’s best for all my loved ones, so I work hard every day to provide the best possible life for my family. They are my driving force for everything I do in life Deborah, Ashley, Ashley Jr., Shannon, Joni, Damarien, Londen, Nuri, Baby J’Ru, Dakeitra, and Ashton are all part of my success.
