From 2009 until 2012, I kept a blog called “DontBuyAds.com.” Over almost 400 blog posts, I detailed the sharp learning curve of gym ownership, starting from my lowest point and rising to my “Perfect Day.”
When I joined 321GoProject as lead business mentor, I updated many of those posts and wrote hundreds more (I’ve reached nearly 800 now, including a ton of free business lessons, marketing packages, and downloads.)
The hardest lessons–and best stories–were encapsulated in “Two-Brain Business: Grow Your Gym.” What started as a simple blog to help others avoid my business mistakes eventually became the best-selling fitness business book of all time.
When I started the first blog post (“Don’t Be Vanilla,”) I was broke. I’d just signed up for a free mentoring session through a local business portal. The second session would cost me $550, but I justified the cost by promising myself, “I’ll share everything I learn with other gym owners, because they’re probably going through the same stuff I am.”
The first published edition of “Two-Brain Business” was handed out FREE at a seminar I gave with Ben Bergeron and Forrest Walden (who owns IronTribe) in FL. There were 30 attendees, and I went home with 15 copies of the book. But since then, I’ve sold thousands of copies, signed dozens, and even snapped a picture of it on the bookshelf at CrossFit HQ.
You can have it FREE in my favorite format: audio. Eight hours, read by me, with updated information. Frankly, some things that worked in 2012 no longer do (and I outline what DOES work now in Two-Brain Business 2.0 and Help First: Profit Without Selling.) The obsolete advice was cut out of the audiobook version, but the print edition contains hundreds of tips and several forms that I can’t deliver orally (obviously.) It’s still the most popular book I’ve ever written (though I’d say Help First is really my favorite, it’s not yet available as an audiobook.)
