You probably know Jason Khalipa as a CrossFit Games legend. You might know him as the owner of NCFIT, formerly NorCal CrossFit. But did you know that he oversees more than 20 gyms and 150 employees worldwide under the NCFIT umbrella?Jason began as many gym owners do. He opened his first gym in a 1,500-square-foot space with no credit and a shallow bank account. He coached classes, handed out flyers and did the books. Sometimes he spent the night on the gym couch.At Two-Brain Business, we call that Founder Phase, and Jason didn't stay there long. By treating his gym as a business instead of a hobby—prioritizing sales and marketing, putting the right staff in the right seats and tapping into new markets—he turned his tiny gym into a global fitness empire.In this episode, Jason is here with Two-Brain Business mentor Jay Williams to share how he did it and answer your questions, from payroll to whether or not to affiliate to how to start a corporate wellness program.

Too many gym owners are eating table scraps. That is, they wait to pay themselves until all other expenses are covered, and they're left with a pittance—if anything—as profit. In his book "Profit First," Mike Michalowicz posited a revolutionary cash-flow management system: Business owners pay themselves first, ensuring they make the profit they need to serve another day.John Briggs, founder of Incite Tax in Sandy, Utah, has adapted Michalowicz's philosophy and program especially for microgym owners. His book, "Profit First for Microgyms," will be available in January 2020, and in this episode of Two-Brain Radio, he and Chris Cooper talk about why microgym owners should take profit first, how to do that and make sure everything else still gets paid and how much to save for taxes.Links:Pre-order "Profit First for Microgyms" by John BriggsIncite TaxTimeline:2:08 – Why the profit first concept isn’t greedy.5:56 – Lessons from toothpaste.9:38 – Adapting “Profit First” for the microgym industry.12:17 – The seven essential accounts.14:24 – How much gym owners should allocate to staff pay.18:24 – Customizing profit first for each stage of the entrepreneur’s journey. 22:47 – On the writing process.24:32 – Removing the temptation account.28:03 – On taxation and entitlement programs: limiting how the government spends your money.

Two-Brain Radio: How to Turn Prospective Clients Into Paying ClientsToo many gym owners spend precious time and money acquiring leads only to leave money on the table. Maybe they don't feel like responding to a request for info at 9 p.m. Maybe they give up after the first call goes to voicemail. Maybe they just don't like selling.But just a little extra time and effort spent pursuing those leads—people who have opted in and asked for more info—could lead to great reward.In the second installment of our special series, Two-Brain Media's Mike Warkentin interviews digital marketing expert Mateo Lopez—our regular host.

Ever thought about what you can learn about risk management from a brothel? As it turns out, a lot—and that's just one of many risk-management examples author Allison Schrager uses in her book "An Economist Walks Into a Brothel: And Other Unexpected Places to Understand Risk."In this episode of Two-Brain Radio, Chris speaks with Allison to understand how the risk-management principles that guide other high-end service providers can apply to microgym owners.You'll also learn how to compete with big chain gyms charging $10 a month, how the commoditization of fitness training with technology could actually help your business and how to best position your offerings in the face of a recession.Links:"An Economist Walks Into a Brothel: An Other Unexpected Places to Understand Risk."Contact:Allison SchragerTimeline:1:59 – Allison’s passion for teaching risk management.3:02 – Risk management: Lessons from the pro poker world.6:31 – How to mitigate risk when opening a gym.8:12 – Don’t just take risks for risks' sake: You need a clear goal.9:26 – Defining risk.11:07 – There’s a recession looming.

Two-Brain Radio: From $260 in Ads to $5,000 in Front-End Sales With Rachael O'DonnellIn September 2017, Rachael O'Donnell took the leap: She quit her job as a clinical social worker and closed her private practice to open Grit and Grace CrossFit in Gorham, Maine. Her social-work experience added tremendous value to what she had to offer as a coach, employer and leader, but she lacked the business skills she needed for her business to truly thrive. She was also uncomfortable with sales and marketing.After joining the Two-Brain family, Rachael learned how to offload low-value tasks so she could focus on the business—and she gained a new perspective on marketing: It's just helping people who need it.Links:https://fortimedesign.com/https://gritandgracecrossfit.com/Contact:https://gritandgracecrossfit.com/Instagram: @gritandgracecrossfitTimeline:3:35 – Using CrossFit to quit smoking.4:25 – From clinical social work to coaching CrossFit.6:13 – How Rachael’s social-work background helps her as a coach and leader.7:49 – Why “Grit and Grace”?8:51 – Turning to Two-Brain after working 90-plus-hour weeks.12:13 – The first payoff: getting time back and getting closer to Perfect Day.14:52 – On hiring coaches.18:28 – When evaluating new or potential staff, watch what they do, not what they say.20:13 – Grit and Grace core values.22:11 – Implementing core values into if-then scenario practice.25:23 – Turning $260 in ad spend into $5,000 in front-end revenue.26:53 – Leads are just people who need help.28:24 – Overcoming discomfort with the sales process.30:55 – The key to success: knowing when you need help.
