Ideas worth taking back to the business
- 01
Use the 60/15/15 framework to find whether pricing, payroll, or overspending is the real profitability problem.
- 02
Check acquisition cost, lifetime value, and payback period before scaling marketing.
- 03
Treat prepaid packages as a cash liability, while memberships can build recurring revenue.
- 04
Make sure the first location runs without the owner before opening a second.
- 05
Judge equipment financing on conservative ROI projections, not on the tax deduction alone.
