    This Sh*t Isn’t a Coincidence: How Achievement Roadmaps Make ‘Impossible’ Studio Goals Inevitable

    Grab my Achievement Roadmap framework here: https://live.geronimoacademy.com/achievement-roadmap Want to access more of my proven systems to grow your business without burnout? Go here: https://bit.ly/44XoX5w Picture this: you’re standing on the deck of a 52ft boat, eagle flying overhead, on your way to Hawaii with your dream clients… and you realise you wrote this exact moment down in a vision book three years ago. That’s exactly what just happened. And at this point, it’s too cooked to call it “luck” anymore. In this episode, we’re unpacking the exact Achievement Roadmap framework we use with our team and our studio owners to turn “one day” goals into “holy sht, it actually happened” reality, in business, body, bank account and life. We’re talking vision books, Power 12, Separation Sunday, eagles, crows, boats, Broncos, net growth records… and why once you get this right, you honestly have to be careful what you put on the roadmap, because it will come true. Here’s what we’re covering: -The wild story of a made-up vision book that turned into Hawaii, boats, and record-breaking growth -What an Achievement Roadmap actually is (and why your goals keep stalling without one) -The “Holy Trinity”: Achievement Roadmap, Power 12 and Separation Sunday working together -How to turn 5-year studio goals into daily standards you actually follow through on -Why your environment matters more than your willpower (and how to get in the right arena) -Real client examples: from stuck and vague to new locations, dream teams and $100k months -The power of milestones and rewards (and why most owners are terrible at both) -How to reset and upgrade your roadmap once you hit your “dream” goals faster than expected … and a whole lot more Connect with us: My website: ⁠https://thegeronimoacademy.com ⁠ IG Geronimo: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thegeronimoacademy⁠ IG Hey.Doza: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/hey.doza⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://au.linkedin.com/in/andrewhandosa⁠ Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment below with your biggest takeaway.

    Keen to chat to our team about building a $1M dream business and life? Go here: https://bit.ly/4kZSlya Want to LEARN proven systems to grow your business without burnout? Go here: https://bit.ly/44XoX5w If I opened your week right now, would I see a coach chained to the field from dawn till dark, or a leader who’s built a business that runs without them? Because here’s the truth: staying on the pitch for every single session is the fastest way to cap your impact, your income and your time with the people you actually care about. Hayden was running 50 sessions a week, squeezing admin in from 7pm till midnight, and barely present with Sel and the kids… until something had to give. In this episode, we’re unpacking exactly how Hayden and Sel turned All Things Football from a COVID side hustle into a 350-kid confidence factory, with a growing team, systems that run the show, and a vision for 1000 kids and a month in Croatia where the business doesn’t miss a beat. Here’s what we’re covering: -The reality of running 50 sessions a week and still feeling like you’re failing at home -How Hayden went from Young Socceroos and the A-League to coaching confidence-first football for kids -Why “we build confidence, not just soccer skills” became the core offer (and why parents loved it) -The 5-star session framework and coaches playbook that finally got Hayden off the field -How they hired and grew a team of coaches parents adore, without dropping standards -What changed when they picked a clear avatar and stopped trying to be “for everyone” -How they hit their 5-year member goal in 6 months by doing less, not more -The new target: 1000 kids, stronger systems and a business that passes the “Croatia holiday” test -What this means for you if you’re still chained to the floor, field or reformer… … and a whole lot more Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment below with your biggest takeaway.

    Burnt Out, Broke & Backed Into a Corner: How Lily Fought Her Way to 200+ Members

    Find out the EXACT day you’ll hit Million Dollar Run Rate: https://bit.ly/p-million-dollar-day-calculator Two years ago, Lily was sitting in a lawyer’s office, her business partner had just pulled out, the lease was signed, the money was gone, and she was staring down the barrel of a $70k loan with a newborn on her hip. Most people would’ve walked away. She didn’t. Instead, she backed herself, rallied a village, rebuilt her identity through movement, and turned Limber into one of the most heart-driven, community-led studios in the country. In this episode, Lily opens up about the grit, the healing, the systems, the breakthroughs, and the brutal self-belief it took to go from teaching 10 hours a day and crying in breathwork sessions… to doubling her studio in six months and building a team that actually runs the business with her. Here’s what we’re covering: How Limber was born from rock bottom, identity loss, and a mountain of debt Why Lily refused to quit, even when everyone told her she should The wild early days: teaching 13 surf-club classes, Pilates in pubs & lugging rollers around town The moment she realised having “no systems” was costing her thousands How hiring a salesperson changed everything (and why she should’ve done it sooner) The retention system that saved 110k+ a year in churn Why contractors are killing your culture - and how she’s building a real “dream team” instead Her breakthrough moment inside Academy that stopped her from quitting How she doubled revenue & members in six months without burning out The bold mission behind Limber - and how she’s turning her healing into her life’s work … and the studio-number-two vision that will blow your mind Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment below with your biggest takeaway.

    Team Buy-In: How We Built a Crew That Would Fight for the Vision

    In this video... Most studio owners want a team that’s loyal, driven, and fully aligned… but they never actually build the environment where buy-in can exist. In this episode, I sat down with my entire team - the same crew who came with me to Hawaii - and we broke down exactly how we became a unit that fights for the same mission, the same standards, and the same future. This isn’t “team culture fluff.” This is practical, operational buy-in - how to get your people to care as much as you do. Inside this episode, we cover: - Why your team won’t fight for a vision they never helped shape. - How we built a team that holds the standard - even when I’m not in the room. - Why showing your team the destination transforms their commitment overnight - We reveal the exact stories, rituals, and strategic transparency that make buy-in inevitable. - The psychology behind team alignment. - How we got the team to take the Hawaii vision personally. - The simple systems we use to keep everyone rowing in the same direction. This episode will change the way you think about leadership and team performance. If your team feels disconnected, unmotivated, or “not getting it” - this will show you why… and how to fix it. Chapters ⏳ [00:00] Buy-in isn’t magic, it’s leadership ⏳ [01:24] Why most teams don’t care about the vision ⏳ [04:10] The Hawai’i story & how the team made the vision theirs ⏳ [08:45] How we built shared ownership (not forced motivation) ⏳ [12:30] LER & leadership lanes - everyone knows their job ⏳ [17:02] How we got aligned on standards and identity ⏳ [22:44] Why vision clarity fixes 80% of team problems ⏳ [28:10] Building a team that runs with you - not behind you ⏳ [32:55] What to do if your team “doesn’t get it yet” ⏳ [40:18] Next Steps - How to get leadership support fast Resources Mentioned ⭐️ Grab my Million Dollar Day Calculator: https://bit.ly/yt-million-dollar-day ⭐️ Want more leads?
