it is all done for the love of the sport,if most people knew how much money i make they would be surprized why i keep injecting more money into the buisness and buy more equipment,thank good that i am not a very good buisness man becouse if i was i would be depressed becouse i should be making much more than i am making now,i look at my self as one of the best instructors on the island and one who can control the running of the buisness,i would have liked to have possesd better marketing skills.i thank god for every thing but mostly for helping me set up a buisness that i love and that i always wanted to be involved in.history seems to be repeating it self,in saudi my gym was known to be the best gym at the time but i ended up losing money,25years ago people's mentality wasn't what it is today and the intrest in this particular sport wasn't what it is today.now in bahrain my gym is the best and most people know it yet most of the time we just break even.
i know if i made some drastic changes i can make tons of money but by doing so i will be losing the people who truly love the sport becouse they will not be able to afford the place,the way to make money is to turn the gyms into vip places triple the rates have fewer clientle and offer them a slightly better service,buts it is not all about money and i am not a greedy person,as long as people aknowledge what i am contributing to the sport,apreciate my facilities and continue to make progress,i will be happy.
love you all
