A lot of gym owners wear every hat in the building (and think that’s just part of the job).

They train every client. 

Put out every fire. 

Answer every email. 

Eventually, that becomes their whole identity: “I do it all.” But that belief is exactly what keeps them stuck. It drains their time, burns their energy, and kills their shot at real growth.

In Part 3 of this series, Tim and Randy tackle one of the biggest myths holding gym owners under $30K/month: thinking you have to do everything yourself. That mindset doesn’t make you a better owner – it makes sure you never have time to actually be one.

In this episode, you’ll get a clear path to step off the training floor and start scaling like a business owner.

Also inside:

• Why most owners never build a path out of fulfillment
• How to buy back your time and replace yourself the right way
• What to say when you hand a client off to a new coach
• Why your gym won’t grow without someone pushing it forward every day

Tune in and learn how to run the business instead of being run by it.
