Ep. 194 The Power of Owner-Operators in the Fitness Industry | Marketing Muscle Up Podcast

Welcome back to the Marketing Muscle-Up podcast! In this episode, I'm recording from my car while stuck in traffic after visiting several client studios in Brisbane, Queensland. Today, I'm reflecting on the current state of the fitness industry and sharing some insights into what it takes to succeed. One key takeaway is the importance of the owner-operator model. When business owners are actively involved in their business, even if not directly teaching classes, their business tends to flourish. However, balancing personal interests and business needs can be challenging. I delve into strategies for staying engaged and growing your business by replacing yourself in roles that no longer serve you and focusing on areas that light you up.
