RUNNING A SMALL BUSINESS 💪
No work. No income.
A lot of people think running your own business means picking your own hours, taking time off whenever you want, and answering to nobody.
The reality is a little different.
You don’t just get busy by chance. Your incentive is to work hard, provide a great service, be professional, reliable, and consistent so that you stay busy and keep your business sustainable.
As a PT, there’s a lot more to the job than the hour spent training a client. There’s planning programmes, scheduling sessions, checking in with clients, answering messages, sorting out payments, marketing, and keeping everything organised behind the scenes.
Business doesn’t always go smoothly either. Last week my car got a flat tyre and had to go into the garage, which meant cancelling a full afternoon and evening of clients. That’s income lost straight away and a reminder that things don’t always go to plan.
That said, I wouldn’t change it.
The best part is helping people get stronger, move better, improve their health, and achieve things they never thought possible.
I also appreciate everyone who supports small businesses. If people didn’t support independent businesses, there wouldn’t be any left. Whether it’s your local PT, café, fruit and veg shop, hairdresser, physio, or independent retailer, every booking and purchase makes a difference.
Thanks to everyone who continues to support my business and trust me with their health and fitness goals. It never goes unnoticed. 🙌💪
