Good morning tribe,

We are sharing something unique on the podcast this week, and I think you are going to find a lot of value in this episode. 

Last week, we recorded a podcast of the crew and I doing live Q & A session on Facebook. Gym owners from around the world tuned in to ask questions about their business including what they are struggling with and how they can take their gym to the next level. 

We discuss topics such as:

• How to reverse engineer membership pricing to reach your financial goals
• How to begin automating and outsourcing admin work you don't need to be doing
• How to communicate the value of your service to potential clients who are only focused on price (in the beginning)
• How to start tracking important data points in your business so you can shift your focus to where it needs to be for growth

If you found this episode helpful, the team and I would love to hear from you. What questions did you find most relevant to your current situation? What questions do you have that we did not answer.   Let us know with a comment on our Youtube channel.    We look forward to doing more of these and helping you grow this year.   Enjoy the show, Mike
