Gym owners: Stop cutting your own pay to make ends meet. It doesn't make your business stronger.
Still skeptical? Take it from Ashely Coffey, owner of Get Fit in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
When she first opened her gym, it was a struggle just to pay her coaches, much less herself. She was working 14-hour days and wearing all the hats, but her business wasn't growing.
Then she tried Mike Michalowicz's Profit First method, which teaches business owners to pay themselves before paying any other expense. The result? Ashley's gym has grown, she's off-loaded lower-value roles, and the business is profitable.
