First off, incredible book by MJ I know it's going to pay off huge in my near future. It's also worth noting how bad it makes other books look in the same genre. I now have a new standard for all books I read in the future. I know there's many minds on this forum with a ton of knowledge that exceeds my own. ANY tips from you guys is appreciated.

I'm in a bit of a unique situation (at least I think so). Since high school my brother and I have wanted to open our own sports performance gym for athletes. So that was our goal all through college and etc and now it's getting close to the time where we'd finally be able to do so. Enter MJ.

I now think our vision would be driving the highway minimum based on everything I've read. Even though it won't be a commercial sized gym, the start-up costs are fairly high. It would just be my brother and I running the joint so time spent working per week is going to be huge. We'd be able to sell different products on the net but other than that and franchising I see no scale. Definitely not as quickly as I'd like anyway.

So far nothing unique just an idiotic idea I know hang with me. But the thing is people are coming to me asking me to train their kids and see if I offer services etc (which I do not currently). I bring value because I had success in high school and college and I have spent time (limited time but time nonetheless) in a few professional organizations which is why I think I could leverage that to my advantage. But that also creates a problem because it's a direct trade of time for money and I don't see how I can remove myself in the future since basically I'd be what people are buying into.

Is this a "no-brainer" or is there something to be leveraged?

Thanks for reading!
