What he said... Busier than ever!
Boot camps have officially eclipsed my one-on-one training as a profit center. Only 6 running bootcamps, and those 18 training hours a week make more money for my business than the dozens of individual training hours combined.
This is not a "if you build it they will come" concept though. I laid out a very well-organized plan, and modified it quickly as things took off, and have figured out how to do this without spending a DIME on marketing.
Set some goals, build your plan, have contingencies set up. Very few people luck their way into financial success. There is a ton of business out there right now for everyone. Find out where it is and then devise a plan for getting it.
For me it is public speaking gigs. Every time I speak it is like unloading a dump truck full of cash into my bank account. It has both short and long term results. Imagine where you'll be after a year of establishing yourself with the business community as the leading local expert on fitness.
Don't get me wrong, you will need to set yourself apart by having good content, and being a good presenter. But if you start down that road, it won't take long to have more business than you can individually handle.
If you're slow right now, then you are probably in a reactionary management mode. Limit the time you spend putting dealing with current crisis and spend at least an hour or two a day on your long term plan. If you don't plant those seeds now where do you think you will be in a year or five years?
