Owning and operating a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school is both a labour of love and a huge responsibility. Speaking from 10 years of experience running my own academy, I talk about the biggest myths that I heard surrounding gym ownership. Some topics of discussion are kids programs, building customer loyalty (the right way), ordering gear overseas, building profit, and big name affiliations. Maybe this episode turned into a bit of a venting session, but I think you will find it interesting nonetheless. Please leave a review, subscribe, like, share, and comment if you can.
