COVID killed my entire business and forced me to spend all my savings, and then some.
The gyms closed, and overnight I went from a full rota of 30-40 sessions per week to a handful of zoom classes and online clients.
My investment property in Manchester was empty for 8 months, as all the students left town. I was paying the mortgage, council tax, service charge, bills everything.
I tried to sell it, spent thousands on solicitors and it fell through at the last minute.
I was getting to the point where I was having trouble sleeping at night thinking of everything that needed to get paid. I had never been in this type of situation before.
Then one day it occurred to me.
Yes my situation was bad and I felt it was spiralling out of control, but I was also partly to blame. I didn't treat money with the same respect as I treated my body. I didn't follow strict protocols and practice discipline when it came to money, like I was able to do with fitness & nutrition.
It's funny isn't it? How you can do well in one area of life but fail so miserable in one or two other areas??
So that day I made a vow to myself.
I would treat my finances the same way I treat my health. I would follow strict guidelines on money in and money out, same as I do with calories in and calories out. I would set financial goals and work diligently towards them, same as I do in the gym. I would set my sights high on what I want to achieve financially and I will reach them no matter what, same as I do with my physique.
''YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR AND YOU GET PAID FOR WHAT YOU THINK.''
As soon as I had this lightbulb moment, opportunities came my way, people came my way and the financial horizons brightened.
