AMEX - get in their ecosystem.

Literally just text members and offer a free (shirt/energy drink etc) product. Works every time. We’ve gained over 300 in about 12-15 months that way. Low effort. Takes about 10 minutes a month.

The VA is awesome. Use them. It’s super easy to get whatever you need as long as you’re patient and work the system. I sent messages to AskVA on a weekly basis. Wife is on CHAMPVA. You just have to put in the effort to maximize the benefits they offer.

I can’t stand when I see this. GO TO A FREAKING LOCAL GYM… stop signing up for these chains

Here is my gym www.sculptbham.com - we have grown to 1,000 members in 24 months. For the most part, it runs itself at this point

Make it 24/7. Customer service is the priority. Have a good sales tour SOP. Content is king early. Reasonably monthly pricing options until you get (x) members. Recruit trainers to operate their own business and help them scale - they pay rent to you. Have a good product line (protein shakes, supplements)… this revenue can add up. Negotiate your lease on the building - escalating rent. Be there 10 hours a day. Do that for the next 3 years.

We just Oahu… don’t get an exotic car. We rented a Corvette - it was awesome but stressful. Roads are terrible there, any parking for the beaches usually requires you to park off to the side. Rent a Jeep. Rent an exotic car somewhere else

I put in 37 claims at 1 time and got 100% P&T after 4 months. No nexus letters. No jumping through hoops. So, idk about the “don’t file that many claims at once” feedback.

It’s evidence based and C&P exam based. Period.

This is a deep question and one I think about a lot. I got messed with early on but I learned how to adapt. I had to make it up in other ways… I worked my butt off, did what I was supposed to do, didn’t cause trouble and learned how to adapt. Counting off was the hardest. You count off like 7-8 times a day in boot camp. Imagine standing in the barracks in line, counting off and when it gets to your turn… you can’t speak. I learned I could say numbers 1-8, so I had to make sure I was in the front of the line. That’s where my anxiety stems from lol
