Podcast Summary

This episode of the Ask Vince podcast kicks off with a story that’s as real as it gets—Vince shares how he got caught in a flood, had to be rescued by police, and still managed to stay calm while water rushed into his truck. That moment turned into a bigger lesson about keeping your head on straight when everything around you feels like it’s falling apart. From there, Vince dives into the tough conversations gym owners need to have with themselves during slow seasons. Whether it’s your lead gen drying up, your bank account dipping, or your mindset taking a hit, he breaks down what to do, how to think, and how to move forward with purpose—not panic.

 

Top 5 Lessons Learned

Calm wins
When things go sideways, your ability to stay calm—not panic—might be the most important asset you have. That goes for floods and for business.

Slow months? Work harder and smarter
Summer might be slower, but that doesn’t mean you get to tap out. Audit what’s working in your marketing, double down on it, improve it, and try one new thing. Simple.

Adjust your approach based on where you’re at
If you’re crushing your numbers, plant seeds for the future (upstream marketing). If you’re struggling, get after the low-hanging fruit—old leads, past clients, referrals (downstream).

Profit doesn’t mean spend it all
That $10K “profit” on your P&L? It’s not yours yet. Taxes, retained earnings, and long-term planning come first. Get this wrong and you’ll constantly feel broke—even when your numbers say you’re not.

Build mental armor
Vince breaks down the four truths every business owner needs to keep in their back pocket: problems are guaranteed, every setback has an upside, effort compounds, and you only control two things—your actions and your attitude.
