Before I spent the last 10 years studying business, I had no idea what I didn’t know. Let me say that again another way…You don’t know what you don’t know. I assumed small business ownership looked a lot like it did in Hallmark movies where the baker spends her days decorating cupcakes and packaging them up in cute little boxes for the customers. 

I had no idea behind the scenes that baker was dealing with an employee who quit, another one who filed an unemployment claim after getting fired, an unexpected tax bill, a 1-star google review and an angry husband who was tired of seeing her pick the bakery over the family yet again. It sounds bleak, but if we’re not careful, that’s what ownership can look like for all of us. In fact, if we aren’t actively seeking mentorship and education, we can continue operating our business for a decade exactly as we did in year one…spinning our wheels growing more exhausted and burnt out by the day. 

That’s pretty much how I felt by 2014.

Here I am almost 8 years later though loving my business, feeling refreshed, creative and fired up for Monday. I love my staff, who work so hard (and are incredibly loyal to our gym). The parents in my gym understand our core values and are fun-loving and supportive of our staff. (That doesn’t mean we don’t get the occasional challenge, but it’s “occasional” these days rather than “often”.) 

How did I get there? I spent every day for 10 years studying business. I listened to podcasts, read books, watched webinars, attended conferences – I did it all. You can too! But in 2018 we decided it shouldn’t have to be this hard. We realized if we loved all star cheerleading, we needed to streamline the education and mentorship process so each person could get the information he or she needed MUCH faster than I did. So…Next Gen was born. Over the past 4 years, Next Gen has developed a path with clear steps owners need to take to build their freedom, create profitable programs and LOVE their businesses.
