Forgive me for assuming, but it is my initial impression that you went into business for yourself, so you could do your own thing and make enough money to fulfill your dreams. If not, we need to talk:)

The trouble with personal training, fitness pro’s and many other businesses is that we trade our time for money. Unfortunately, time is a fixed variable and there is no known way to create more. So eventually, you run out of time and your income is capped. Am I right?

There are only so many hrs per week, and you can only have so many sessions in one day. Typically, when a great trainer’s schedule becomes full they look to hire more trainers. This is a crucial yet very difficult step. It is hard to find great people and even harder to find people that train, teach or sell as good as you do.

If you have not faced this decision yet, you soon will. (especially if you follow our advice and strategies:)

Here is what I recommend. First, identify your strengths and weaknesses. Hire someone that is strong, where you are weakest.

Second, think about ways to earn income that do not require your time (by the hour)

If you are interested in ways to do this please let me know, and I will write some posts about it. Thanks!
