Just a quick reminder today that you’re still in the middle of a pandemic.

One of my great friends and SPF Mastermind legends, Kyle Newell, always says comparison is thief of happiness.

When you see the success stories of gyms that have grown 300% during the pandemic…first be skeptical, second don’t compare.

Here’s the reality of today for gym owners (I know because I still own one).

Expect to work harder and do more for lesser or the same results as you got in the past.

One of my most important roles as business coach is to be a truth teller.

Today I give you that truth. 

But, don’t get discouraged by this…be motivated by it…it’s the only healthy way to respond.

And by all means…be ready for the long journey back because the ones that stay in the game will be rewarded.

Someone recently sent me an article about a 30-billion-dollar stimulus being presented for gyms. 

It would provide 45% of your 2019 revenue in the form of a grant (Blah, Blah Blah).

Any wishful thinking, hoping or worse….waiting…will be crippling to your progress.

The reward won’t come in the form of a grant or some kind of government bail out either. 

The reward will be that you endured the toughest position a business could ever survive in and lived to tell the tale.

Picture yourself 40 years with a grandkid on your knee….telling this story of how you ran your business through a global pandemic….incredible.

You’re making history right now, great job!

Here’s how to endure.

Remove all optimism that things will get back to normal by this Spring.

As we embark on the one year anniversary of Covid-19, people will get a false sense of a snap back at that time…after all…how could this thing possibly last a full year…it will. 

It’s kinda of like the people that wait for New Year to start getting their stuff together.

They think the new year will make the change, it won’t.

The way to endure is to do one thing:

Commit to making it through this successfully no matter how long it takes and remove any and all expectations of a time period for things to get back to normal.

Couple this with massive action, creativity and discipline and you’ll be in a great position.

Not easy, but very possible.
