What Role Does Luck Play In Business Success?
Talk With The Video
Summary
- In business, luck plays a huge role; sometimes it's about being at the right place at the right time.
- When we started Gym Launch, we succeeded because Alex figured out how to get gym leads through Facebook ads for just $50 each while selling a product for $500. That's an amazing return on investment.
- Having a strong cash flow can help your business survive many mistakes.
- Today, gym owners spend about $50 to $75 to get a new customer, but the market doesn't support selling them offers as high as $500 anymore due to economic changes.
- It's important not to assume everything will always improve; instead, focus on strengthening other areas of your business to adapt to changes.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing strategies that capitalize on current market realities. Start by assessing the cost of acquiring customers against the value of what you're selling. It's like how we realized getting leads for $50 was effective when selling at $500 during our Gym Launch days. Examine if you're spending more to get a client than what you're earning from them. If so, it's time to adjust your approach.
Another high-value move is to focus on cash flow management. Strong cash flow gives room to learn from mistakes rather than get crushed by them. Look at your expenditures and find areas to trim excess costs. Maybe renegotiate contracts or cut non-essential services to maintain healthy cash movement.
Also, don’t assume the economy will rebound to suit your previous business model. Economic changes are constant, and being flexible is key. Diversify your offerings to meet what your customers can realistically afford today, compared to before. Even small tweaks can have big impacts.
A good way of doing better is investing in skills or technology that let you pivot when the market shifts. Consider learning more about the tools or platforms that best serve your industry now. This way, you adapt and continue thriving even when the landscape changes.
Lastly, remember that fortunes in business also rely on timing. Stay informed and be ready to seize opportunities, even if they seem risky or unconventional at first.
