In this episode, I explore how Grant Hancock built a thriving fitness business with a 167-person waiting list by uniquely positioning his services, overcoming burnout, and balancing growth with life priorities.
5 things you’ll learn:
- How Grant created overwhelming demand in a regional location with minimal competition.
- The hidden downsides of rapid business growth—and how to handle them.
- Practical strategies to use scarcity ethically in your business to boost demand.
- How Grant transitioned from burnout to a balanced business model that supports his lifestyle.
- The power of defining a niche to become a market leader, even in competitive industries.
Your action steps:
- Clearly define your ideal client and position your services uniquely to meet their needs.
- Regularly assess your pricing and adjust based on market demand rather than guilt or undervaluing your services.
- Implement a waiting list management system that regularly engages your audience through valuable content.
- Focus on building your business to fit your ideal lifestyle rather than letting growth control your personal time.
- Prioritise your wellbeing by creating non-negotiable boundaries around work hours and personal activities.
