from The Business of Jiu Jitsu · host JP Levesque
In this solo episode, I rant a little about a bad drop in experience and talk about the main point of this episode which is to embrance change in your business.I share a quick story about a terrible experience I had at a gym recently. I don't name any names or call anyone out, but I tell the story to make a point about professionalism, first impressions, and what your academy is actually saying to people who walk through the door.We also get into why your gym is either improving or falling behind. There’s no such thing as staying the same. Just like in Jiu Jitsu, if you’re not constantly tweaking, testing, and improving your systems, you’re going to get passed.This one is all about taking ownership, being intentional, and remembering that your culture and your standards are either attracting the right people or pushing them away.Topics covered:Iteration as a tool for growthWhy professionalism matters more than you thinkHow your culture shapes your reputationEmbracing failure as part of the processCreating momentum through small, consistent improvementsFollow me:IG: @jp_levesque24Email: [email protected] you interested in building up your BJJ business?The Unstuck Academy is a free guide that shows you how to fix what’s broken, keep more students, and build a business that actually works.Download it here: www.growjitsu.com/book
