Starting a gym is often driven by passion and excitement, but as the years go by, it's important to consider the bigger picture, including the eventual exit strategy for your business.

In the journey of gym ownership, there's a significant difference between being self-employed and being a true business owner.

Many gym owners find themselves deeply involved in the daily operations of their gym, handling everything from training and sales to marketing and administration.

This hands-on approach may initially seem necessary, but it can hinder the growth and potential for the business to become an asset that can be sold.

In this episode, Tim and Randy delve into the critical aspects of transitioning from a self-employed gym owner to a true business owner, creating a valuable asset that can be sold or transitioned smoothly.

They explore the significance of systems and processes in making your gym business more attractive to potential buyers.
