Brit Wold, founder of Grit Fitness in Dallas, describes the qualities that helped her small business succeed and become recession-proof. DALLAS — Brit Wold started Grit Fitness eight years ago. In the past five years, her business has expanded with a second location, survived a pandemic and record-breaking inflation. Wold told WFAA Daybreak anchor Kara Sewell that the only thing she can control is her energy and enthusiasm. She believes those two qualities dictate success and help recession-proof a small business. Wold said there are no easy days at Grit Fitness. "You don’t need grit when things are going well.
