Gym Owners Success Secret
Why the most successful gym owners prioritize speed, urgency, and forward momentum over waiting for the “perfect” time to act.
What separates the best gym owners from also-rans?
Welp, there are LOTS of factors that lead to success. Not the least of which being luck.
But there are definitely some commonalities.
And one of those commonalities is a “bias for action.”
You’ve probably heard this phrase before. But I want to offer an actionable formulation.
Owners with a bias for action do not ask:
“What’s the latest I can possibly get this task done before catastrophe occurs?”
Instead, they ask:
“What’s the earliest possible time I can get this task done and move this ball forward?”
Speed matters. Successful people get shit done, and they do it with urgency.
Is it possible to go too fast? Yup.
One can be too reactive and go too fast and make errors. This often requires triage. Advanced productivity masters learn to temper their speed and make room for other people to improve their thinking. They do this before creating problems for themselves and their team.
But in practice, there are worse problems:
“Going too fucking slow” problems.
I’ll bet on the owner with the bias for action,
Over the owner who’s constantly waiting for deadlines to finally get them to take action on an important task or project.
The clock of your life is ticking,
