the missing link to come out of WAFIC

All in attendance would agree that WAFIC 2010 was a wonderful event and if you didn't go this year; you need to be there next year. From my perspective, all in attendance of the of the business seminars are set for a big business future. Why? By attending business events you invest in your business and future growth. If you fail to invest your time, action and resources into your business everything you have done up to now and will soon become outdated with the speed at which the way we do business moving faster than ever before.

In reviewing the PT Plus model of Add, Delete, Multiply and Divide I have identified a common denominator that is lacking from the majority of businesses that I was in contact with at WAFIC. By adding this simple concept to your business immediately, you will already be stamping your fitness business as superior to your competition. I want to share with you a simple technique I teach personal trainers keen on making the transformation to 'fitnesspreneur'.

If you don't want to do it or you don't enjoy a certain task in your business - systemise it. Medial tasks but vitally necessary to ongoing business are administration responsibilities. To allow you to easily add an admin assistant to your business you need systems for them to follow.

If you document a task a week that you do yourself, step by step you will soon have a file full of systems that you can pass onto anyone that enters your business to assist. If it is producing invoices, sending out thank you cards, adding people to an automatic debit program or posting articles to a website or blog. Take the time to document each step in simple, easy to understand steps so someone helping can pick it up easily.

If you are serious about growing and making your fitness business sustainable, creating systems must be a priority right now. Having holidays, attending WAFIC's and not becoming a slave to your business will all be available to you if you embrace the systems concept. Also if you are aiming to build your business up to sell, then systems will guarantee you a much better price because your business will be capable of running without you.

So hop to it Western Australian 'fitnesspreneurs' and start systemising your business.
