Let's start this edition of the Friday-4 with material I've published this
week: My
Friday FOUR
Four pieces of content I've consumed this past week that will influence my future blog material and challenge me to think differently about how I manage CSP - as always, I'm looking to bring you some business-specific information from outside of the world of fitness. Enjoy: - Seven Ways To Build A Culture Of Employee Recognition - Every one of these seven suggestions is effective, affordable, and immediately actionable. In my experience, the best strength coaches are those who
have prioritized work environment and learning opportunities over finding the largest paycheck possible. I particularly enjoyed this quote: "Leveling the playing field will help them realize they aren’t just an employee."
- The One Email Every Founder Should Know How To Write To Investors - Most gym owners are unable to get off the ground and running entirely based on their own personal savings. This piece, while specifically speaking to tech founders seeking funding, had some fascinating insights that could be applied to those of you who've
accepted money from others to launch your fitness venture. Keeping your investors in the loop in good times and bad is never a bad idea.
- Will Trump's Tax Plan Benefit Small Businesses? - What could be more important to you as a small
business owner than having an understanding of the major tax reform that is likely on the way thanks to the new administration? Something tells me that there aren't a whole lot of gym owners out there who are aware that there are two major comprehensive tax reform plans being discussed. This piece does a nice job of breaking down the potential changes ahead.
- How To Create Powerful Systems That Grow Your Business - You're interested in the six key stages the guys at Mark Fisher Fitness work through as they develop systems for their multi-million dollar fitness facilities, right?
Brew yourself a pot of coffee and take a deep dive into this 3,000+ word post. It is worth your time.
Make sure to let me know if you come across any material that you think I'd enjoy. More importantly, have a great weekend!
- Pete
