What I Would Do If I Opened a Gym/ Fitness Studio Today

Starting a business is tough—50% of them don’t survive, and 75% of business owners earn less than minimum wage. During a particularly tough time with my business, I asked my accountant this question. “Do I push harder or do I start driving Uber to supplement my income?” His response? “If you have enough time to drive an Uber, you have time to focus on your business.” Our studio then went on to become the largest and fastest growing studio in Sydney, in addition to winning multiple Division Champion awards we were also voted Sydney’s #3 best place to workout, and #1 Gym by The Urban List.
