The Most Important Time for a Small Business

There is a very nice restaurant in our town that opened their doors a few months ago.

However, they’ve been open, serving food for months, if not a year.

They have been running their restaurant from a lunch truck.

Compared to opening the actual restaurant, the lunch truck was a very small investment.

But a very necessary one.

This is where they could build a few VERY important things:

A customer base

A reputation

Find out what people liked/disliked

Grow revenue

They were doing all this while keeping their overhead very low.

This was exactly what I did when I started my gym.

I put every piece of equipment I owned into my truck and started working.

I didn’t focus on creating fancy brochures or business cards.

I didn’t perfect the training process.

I just worked.

I can remember collecting 30 checks on the local football field before one of my camps started.

I see too many guys that start gyms that get way ahead of themselves.

They want to have a great facility to start with but open their doors with no clients, no foothold in their community and no money.

The funny part here is when I hear these guys talk about branding as a marketing strategy.

They’ve yet to make a dollar but are concerned with branding, it makes me chuckle.

It’s the wrong way to start a small business unless you have an investor backing you with an endless supply of cash.

If you’re just starting out, you need to focus on finding ways to get rolling BEFORE you sign a lease.

I trained people in my parent’s basement, 3 different local football fields, a local gym and the Stop and Shop parking lot.

This was my facility and it was the thing that gave birth to the business that’s been running for a decade.

Before you open your gym, find your lunch truck.
