Forward is Forward... Wednesday, May 29

Empowered Clubhouse is officially for only women and MADE by only women.  I hired those two sisters.  Their prices were so reasonable and I didn't get any shady sales pitch like I did from that other guy who seriously was trying to ride me high and dry.

Renovations start this Friday, in two days.  First on the list, drilling and lots of it on the boxing studio floor -- heavy bags, speed bag, TRX band holder, double end bag.  It's going to get super dusty super fast.  

Am still waiting for 2 kettlebell replacements to come.

Still waiting for another company to send me the right bench I ordered.  Replace the wrong one they sent.

I launched my soft opening promo on Sunday, it's three days later, and it's going really good.  People have been responding to my ad and so many people have stopped me in the community to say hi.  I've becoming a familiar face here in the community, very cool.  

Come the end of June, I will only be traveling two days a week to my clients that cannot come to the clubhouse for training.  I had 11 fighters I was training and have since dropped it down to 6 fighters because I changed my schedule.  I changed it so that I'm only in Makati on Mondays and Fridays and then in BGC for Tuesdays and Thursdays but only in the morning on those four days.  Some couldn't change their schedules.  It was a hard decision to step away from such clients but it was a two steps forward, one step back kind of situation.  But forward is forward.  I was coaching 18-20 hours a week but spending almost just as much in commuting -- on the back of an Angkas or walking.   

The only real overhead expense I had was my transportation and now I have my clubhouse.  So it went from super cheap running my company to ultra expensive but now clients come to me and I have a consistent, dependable facility to train them in.  I don't have to worry about a change in equipment, drama from other trainers or silly gym changes, and I definitely don't have to worry about Mother Nature raining us out.  Freedom from all that is mine.  Now to make it work, the clubhouse that is.
