Episode 168: Why you keep getting sucked back into your fitness business and what you can do about it

Hi guys! Welcome back to another episode of the Female Empowered podcast.

Before we get into it, how’s everyone feeling about their first month of 2023? How is your business going?

For Pilates In The Grove, we had a really great start because we were almost at 90 percent capacity this January.

The Setback Of Having 90 Percent Capacity At PITG

To introduce you to the topic this week, the 90 percent capacity of Pilates In The Grove has its setbacks, too. I have received so many e-mails, calls, and text messages from people who are upset that they couldn’t schedule their classes with us because the popular time slots are already full.

So, this week, through this example, let me share with you why you keep getting sucked back into the day-to-day operations of your Fitness Business

Let’s talk about:

• How January 2023 has been for PITG
• Around 80 percent of business owners in this industry were and are the technicians of their businesses
• One of the biggest reasons why you get sucked back into the day-to-day operations: Lack of boundaries
• Without the right processes, it prevents you to form compelling and realistic visions to get you out of the day-to-day operations
• Find a space where you can get away from the actual work environment
• Have a map, a mission, a vision on what you want to achieve
• Schedule CEO days and time-offs
• Set boundaries with your clients and staff  
• Our ego, as owners, gets in the way of training others to do their job
• Setting boundaries is the easy part, holding the boundaries is more difficult
• Lack of proper onboarding and training
• Lack of systems and processes
• Lack of accountability
• Lack of cash flow
• How the Inner Circle program can help you with these problems
