Broke Gym Owner Stops Sleeping in Office Hammock, Finally Takes Wages

In his roughest years, Jeff Jucha was paying his gym's bills by maxing out his personal credit cards. He couldn't afford staff. And his bed was a hammock bolted to the gym office walls.

But when an almost life-threatening sickness showed him just how much he'd been worn down, he made some changes. The biggest one? He started paying himself first.

Since then, Jeff's become a profitable gym owner and now helps others do the same as a Certified Two-Brain Fitness Business mentor.  Tune in to hear his story and learn how you, too, can make your business profitable while prioritizing your own well-being.
