Revenue growth is not only a good thing, it’s usually THE thing you’re striving for.
But if your revenue is increasing while your hours, responsibilities, and dependence on yourself are increasing too, it is worth asking a different question:
Is the business actually growing, or are you simply carrying more of it?
At some point, growth needs to change the owner’s role.
Increased revenue should create the opportunity for more leadership, more leverage, and more freedom to work on the business rather than constantly working in it.
If your gym revenue number is bigger but your role hasn’t changed, that may be the next problem to solve.
