[biz 64] Two Things I Wish I Did Sooner In My Personal Training Business

<p>TL;DL:</p> <p>1. Hire help sooner. </p> <p>Why I didn't:</p> <p>-I truly was not making enough money<br /> -I didn't know enough about the difference between profit, revenue, and my paycheck<br /> -I thought it "meant I was successful" because I had to work all of the time, so I didn't see it as a problem. I thought that meant I was "doing it right."</p> <p> </p> <p>2. Carve out times for small group classes ASAP</p> <p>Why I didn't:<br /> <br /> I kinda did do this right away, but still- I wish I had done it sooner. It took me a couple years to get it right, and the longer I waited, the tricker it became to move 1:1 client sessions around to accommodate for the small group. This ultimately became the foundation upon which I would build my gym, but we'll cover that in a future episode.</p> <p>_____________________________</p> <p>I mention the book "Profit First" by Mike Michalowicz. If you're working on gaining a better understanding of your business financials, this can be a great place to start. However, I personally feel the book could have been a PDF, and for the personal trainer, it makes things slightly more complicated than they need to be. <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Profit-First-Mike-Michalowicz-audiobook/dp/B06X15WW79/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1JP09DRFTOC9F&keywords=profit+first+by+mike+michalowicz&qid=1656023980&sprefix=profit+first%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">It can still be a really good place to start!</a></p>
