Still Standing
The Entrepreneur’s Real-World Guide to Building a Business That Lasts
Twenty years of building, failing, and rebuilding, distilled into the hard truths that actually work. No theory. No hype. Just what it takes to still be standing.
Still Standing is refreshingly honest. Terry shows that clarity, discipline, and humility matter more than hype.
Real pivots from real pain, not theory.
Every chapter is drawn from twenty-plus years in the trenches: the wins, the losses, and the rebuilds in between.
Not theory. 20+ years of lessons from the trenches.
Build the business without losing your family or yourself.
Revenue, hiring, branding, and scaling, in the right order.
Starting out, grinding through, or ready to scale.
Four parts. Fourteen chapters. Zero theory.
A start-to-finish path: from knowing yourself, to building the foundation, to going to market, to scaling without losing yourself. Foreword by Will Hardy.
Terry Barga
Entrepreneur, business coach, and author helping people build businesses that last, without losing themselves, their families, or their sanity in the process.
Terry Barga is an entrepreneur, business coach, and author based in Nashville, Tennessee. Over two decades of building, failing, and rebuilding across fitness, landscaping, media, and coaching, he’s learned that the most important thing you can build isn’t a business. It’s yourself.
Terry owns Nashville Fit Magazine and the Music City Fit Expo, and coaches entrepreneurs at every stage of the journey, from the person on the edge of their first leap to the grinder who’s years in and wondering why the momentum isn’t there. His new book, Still Standing, is available now.
“A business will never consistently outperform the person leading it.”
