Many gym owners are working harder than ever but feel like they’re hitting a wall. They’ve followed all the standard advice – worked longer hours, added more services, even joined mastermind groups – yet growth has stagnated. That’s because working harder isn’t always the answer. At some point, you have to stop doing more and start thinking differently. Instead of trying to push through the wall, it’s time to find the open door. And sometimes, it’s not about doing more at all – it’s about changing your mindset. In this episode, Tim and Randy explain why giving yourself permission to think bigger is the key to real growth and why it’s crucial to surround yourself with people who are already where you want to be. (Yeah, you already know – if you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.) They also share ways gym owners can break through self-imposed limits, work smarter, and adopt new strategies. If you’re tired of doing more without seeing more, this episode is your permission to think bigger. Tune in to learn how a shift in mindset can help you scale your gym without adding more hours to your workweek. Let’s dive in!
