And your gym will never fill if you have that mindset. You make your own destiny, if you want more students, put in more work!
I always knew we had the best coaching staff and instruction in our area. But I always let it bug me that the others schools had big better facilities and more students, even though my guys smashed all of them in competition. The day I stopped worrying about what everyone else had or was doing and realized I wasn't deserving of anything other than what I actually had and not what I "should have" things changed, mainly me. I focused all my efforts into bettering myself, my students and my school. Now, we have the largest, best cleanist facility (from the smallest in the area), still the best coaches and students and now more of them. We also absorbed a good chunck from other schools, many of which have now closed.
It's YOU, look inward not outward if you want more!
