We are building a niche based on Group PT, Boot camps, group exercise and PT. We are the only club in Northern CA that offers 24/7 Group classes with over 200 choices weekly! It has been an expensive game of learning lessons, but it is blogs like this, networking, education and partnerships that have allowed us to transform ourselves and keep us in the game. Now that the transforamation is complete 2010 is all about killing it within our niche and not worrying about what the equipment clubs are doing!

I love investing in my education. I continue to join membership sites, buy books, and go to seminars. It is key to running our business successfully. I am never too proud to learn more from others. Thanks, Mike Hanley Pat,

The neighborhood kid who mows the lawn metaphor had me thinking. I am barely a step up from he/she. As for education, since I am busy with my business and taking care of my two year old daughter, I have been listening to business/time management books in the car. I am learning a lot in between play dates, toddler classes, and training sessions. I also save money by using Barnes and Noble coupons and the public library. Pat,
