Don’t Hire a Gym Business Mentor Until You Listen to This

Description:

Many gym owners hire the wrong mentor for the wrong reasons.

They pick the cheapest option or someone who “really cares.” But "cheap" doesn't mean "effective" and caring isn’t enough.

You need results when you invest in mentorship.

Today on “Run a Profitable Gym,” Chris Cooper walks you through the Mentor Match exercise, a step-by-step process for identifying exactly the right mentor for you.

The exercise reveals which coaching styles have actually worked for you in the past: Some people respond to drill sergeants, while others need questioners or explainers.

The key is finding the style that matches your personality.

Chris also covers the three non-negotiables when choosing a mentor: They’ve done what you want to do, they’re objective (not just supportive), and the investment is uncomfortable enough to ensure you do the work.

Every coach needs a coach. Use the Mentor Match exercise to find the right fit.
