You never have a “money problem”
You have a focus, strategy, plan, clarity, action, decision, choice problem.
CONTEXT: Of course, sometimes there are situations completely out of your control.
In a business context. If you’re a business owner - simply - you have whatever is available to others available to yourself.
If you see someone in your market, similar endeavours making 50-100x more than you, then you KNOW that it’s possible.
Of course as a gym owner You’re limited by:
- available demographic - London is different to Liverpool which is different to living in the Lake District…
HOWEVER, I have seen and worked with gyms in small rural and remote places making upwards of £20k per month so I know it’s possible.
But back to my original statement.
A lack of MONEY is not the PROBLEM - it’s the SYMPTOM.
It’s downstream to a lack of upstream activity.
Usually due to a skillset gap or a mindset gap. Or BOTH.
- lack of strategy
- lack of focus
- lack of clarity around offer
- lack of belief
- lack of thinking time
- Not knowing how to generate leads
- not knowing how to sell
- not knowing how to retain
- not knowing how to lead
If you stay at the level of “I have a money problem” then you’ll never be able to diagnose the real problem.
It’s like
“I have an itchy arm” - that’s a symptom
And even “I have eczema”
Could be argued that
There are upstream activists that cause that
- Poor nutrition
- Soaps / Wash Powder
Etc
You get it.
Stop trying to solve problems that don’t exist.
Money is a resource.
You can generate it.
Once you begin to accept that:
“I am not engaging in the activities, thinking and mindset that creates, keeps and multiplies money”
Then you begin to realise that you have control.
Control = leverage.
Now you can actually do something about it instead of being victim to circumstance.
