What if I told you that in just two years, one of my clients more than tripled his revenue, a 208% increase, to be exact?
This gym owner isn’t just running a school. He’s:
✅ Coaching fighters
✅ Hosting events
✅ Managing a full-time business
Like many gym owners, he had a lot on his plate. But here’s what set him apart:
🚀 He committed to the process.
🚀 He had accountability every week and month.
🚀 He focused on what truly mattered, his school, his staff, his students, and himself.
Even in a smaller city (population: 150,000), he’s crushing it. Not because of luck. Not because of some secret marketing trick. But because he put in the energy and focus, the kind that separates those who grow from those who stay stuck.
The #1 Business Killer: Distraction
Most gym owners start with big goals, but along the way, distractions creep in:
❌ “That student left…”
❌ “What is that other gym doing?”
❌ Mindlessly scrolling social media…
Every time you let external noise pull you away, you lose momentum.
The gym owner in this story? He eliminated distractions and dialed in on what mattered.
So How Did He Do It?
1️⃣ He Focused on What Mattered
Instead of stressing about every small setback, he locked in on:
✔️ His students and their experience
✔️ His staff and their development
✔️ His business systems to scale his gym sustainably
2️⃣ He Had Accountability
Success isn’t just about knowing what to do, it’s about making sure you actually do it.
That’s why he had weekly and monthly check-ins to stay on track. When challenges came up (and they did), he had a system in place to keep moving forward.
3️⃣ He Put in the Work
He didn’t just consume business knowledge, he applied it.
He didn’t avoid hard conversations, he had them.
He didn’t make excuses, he adjusted, adapted, and executed.
What About You?
If you’re running a martial arts school, you have two choices:
