5 SECRETS

If I could time-travel and speak to my 19-year-old (PT about to become multiple gym-owner) self, I would share these 5 secrets

These are things I know now that I wish I knew sooner and that most business owners don't ever figure out.

1?? THE RIGHT MENTOR IS ESSENTIAL

There are so many benefits to having a mentor. But when you find the right one, they will be there to guide, challenge, and support you, and you will succeed.

2?? EFFECTIVE MARKETING + BUILDING A BRAND, SUPPORTS YOUR MISSION

Focus on creating your legacy brand, which stands out from your competitors, but clearly shows your consumers that you are the better choice.

Then use effective marketing strategies combined with your reputation and vision to resonate with your audience, share your mission, and make it known.

3?? SALES DRIVES BUSINESS

You will never go bankrupt if you can sell.

4?? BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCES ARE PIVOTAL AND NEED TO BE PREEMPTIVE

Monitor and be smart with your finances and personal spending.

Hiring an accountant who can help you manage both will help you reach financial freedom.

5?? HAVING STRUCTURE AT WORK IS ??

Learn to self regulate. Know when it's ok to work 7 days, but also recognize when it's time to switch off, so you don't live to work.

Obviously, there would be a lot more life advice I wish I could share, but these fundamental areas would definitely have accelerated my growth
