My Work Schedules From All Stages Of Business
The speaker describes their work schedules across four business phases, progressing from a 9-5 consulting job making $50k annually to running acquisition.com with 12-14 hour days. Each phase required increasingly intense schedules but generated exponentially higher returns, from $20k monthly at their first gym to $16 million profit in their first full year of licensing.
Summary
The speaker outlines their work evolution through four distinct business phases, each with different time commitments and financial outcomes. Starting with a traditional management consulting role working standard 9-5 hours for $50,000 annually, they then built United Fitness gym working 14-16 hour days starting at 4:30 AM, structuring their day around morning classes, marketing, sales appointments, evening classes, and administrative work, earning $20,000 monthly. The third phase involved Gym Launch, initially working 12-16 hour days launching gyms on-site, focusing heavily on sales appointments and ad management, earning $100,000 monthly solo and scaling to $200-300,000 monthly with a team. They then transitioned to a licensing model maintaining 12-14 hour days but restructuring their schedule with morning deep work, midday sales calls, and afternoon fulfillment and support, achieving $16 million profit in their first full calendar year. Currently at acquisition.com managing their portfolio, they continue working 12-14 hour days, alternating between maker and manager modes with either two deep work blocks daily or morning deep work followed by back-to-back evening meetings, typically scheduled on Mondays.
