While it sounds like the golden solution to burnout and chaos, in practice, it usually leads to bloated payroll, weak leadership, and less control. Vince pulls from years of experience running CEO Mastermind and analyzing hundreds of P&Ls to deliver a message most gym owners need to hear—your business doesn’t need a savior; it needs you with a better plan. Five Key Points:Most GMs Are Expensive and IneffectiveHiring a GM often costs $60K+ annually but adds no direct revenue. Without clearly defined systems, you're just hiring someone to babysit—and then you have to babysit them.Your Payroll-to-Revenue Ratio Shouldn’t Be 60%+If your payroll is eating up too much of your revenue, profits tank. Before adding another salary, audit your current team and ask: Is this really necessary?The Fastest Path to Profitability Is Raising PricesInstead of hiring someone to “fix your business,” consider a 10% price increase. That money goes straight to profit—no meetings, no onboarding, no guesswork.Be Ruthless With Expenses Before You Add New RolesKnow your numbers. Fixed, variable, and payroll expenses need to be reviewed and reined in. No more "hope and pray" accounting—decide to run a real business.Leadership Can’t Be Delegated Too SoonIf your business can’t run without you yet, it’s not ready for a GM. Build your sales, retention, and marketing machines first—then think about delegating big roles.
