So, why is your basketball training business struggling? If I had to guess, there's a couple of things that most people struggle with. So, number one, you don't have automatic reoccurring payments set up. You don't have that. If you don't get something called SAMCART, okay, SAMCART, it's very, very helpful. Stop with Venmo, stop with Cash App, stop with all the stuff where people can just randomly pay you. Can I pay you cash? Can I pay with you? You don't have a system down for payments that you stick with. You're letting people dictate how they pay. It needs to be an automatic renewal, LA Fitness, Planet Fitness, all gyms and it doesn't mean you need a gym to do this. You don't have to have a gym to run your business like a gym does. They have an automatic renewal so you probably don't have that, right? And here's number two. You probably let the client dictate how you run your business. They probably tell you when they want to train, they tell you where to go, they tell you everything and you say, yes, sir, ma'am, don't come. And you might say, well, they're the client, but this isn't Walmart, okay? It's like, it's your business, right? You know what I'm saying? Well, the customer's always right. Well, that's not true. Because it's your business. They can't tell you how you accept payment. They can't tell you where you should train. You decide where you want to train. You want them to come to you? They come to you. Oh, you want me to travel? Sure. Costs more money, though. Guess there's a lot of money. It takes me more time. So like you have to, you're letting them probably dictate your business, okay? So that's number two. Number three, you don't have a schedule where people know and you don't have to have a schedule for everything because obviously there's clinics and you can do pop-up clinics and camps, days off from school where you might not be sure, but you don't have a year-round program where there's a set schedule, day and time. And even if you go outdoors, right? You need to have that for depending on like the weather or how cold or hot it is, okay? Even if you don't do it year-round, you should still have set days and times where people know what's going on. If you are all over the place, it's going to ruin people's experience and they're not going to be committed. The next one is you don't have committed clients and that kind of has to do with how you let them dictate the business, right? Think about it. The gym doesn't charge you every time you come in. You pay for a month or whatever year or however the gym does it, but you don't, you know, they don't charge a card every time they come in. They don't pay cash every time they come in, right? I don't know any other gym that does it like that, but you pay for upfront for whether you need to have, obviously the more they pay upfront, the more committed they're going to be. So maybe you want to go to a three-month policy or three-month agreement, six-month agreement, 12-month agreement. And if you think people won't do that because they're not used to it, you are wrong because we work with thousands of coaches over the years that have done this model where they're not just paying monthly. They're getting, we're getting more, we're teaching you how to be, get more committed clients, okay? You, another one, you probably don't have a great, uh, you don't probably don't have any policies or terms for when somebody doesn't make it. You let them dictate when they come, when they don't, how do I get a refund, do I get a credit and they're just running your business. So that goes back to the other part where they're running, they're in control of you. It's Mrs. Jones's business saying that's a client's name. It's not coach's business and you cannot run a sustainable basketball training business like that. You are in control.
