You said to hit you up if you had some thoughts that might interest you. Recently I was sitting in our local chamber meeting for business in our small community and we have scuttle butt happening in our little town for grants and such to come in and do some town planning. I promise I’m going somewhere with this. …. The new grant would give the county an opportunity to let the people give more input on what they’d like to see coke to our town and how it would look and more.
An older gentleman spoke up and gave much clarity on this topic that was not popular but he nailed it.
He told us more bureaucracy is not the answer. To allow each land owner to create as they see fit and then this is where he got massively interesting. He owned a vehicle parting out yard. Instead of being scared of competition he opened up 4 in total places all right next to one another with slightly different emphasis to create his own inner competition and basically own the market in a town right close to us. He is very wealthy now and encouraged us to not be scared of competition. Which got me thinking… what if I had more than one gym but one that was not a what I was already doing but one that would attract another demographic. Sure I’d have to get the finances and all that out and not rush into it. But if I know that I will not be an all in one location like a Y, then why wouldn’t I feed the other demographics in the area who want a globo style gym but keep it smaller and keep over head lower. I have ways in my mind on what I would do but this older man’s wisdom and success was very insightful and I haven’t stopped thinking of it since. Okay… that’s all I have to say. 🤓
