A Youth Fitness Success Story – Part 3

[wpfblike]

Here’s where I left off with ‘Part 2’ of the Dave Gleason chronicle:

The Fitness & Sport Training industry is very young.

 

And not unlike any other industry’s growing pains, the evidence of our ‘youth’ can be seen everywhere.

 

We spend hours creating, designing and implementing training programs for our clients and have next to no time left for business systems generation or management.

 

We cram in things like marketing, press releasing, advertising and networking whenever we have a free moment (assuming we know how to do any of those things properly at all).

 

If we get sick or (gasp) want to take a day or week off… We don’t get paid.  And man, can that hurt.
