Yes, our Facebook accounts (personal and business) got hacked thru the Ad platform. Two problems because of this:

- Compared to IG, it's in Facebook where our customers can swipe their cards to pay for our services

- We've got a fair amount of leads from Facebook and we're gearing towards ramping up the advertising spins to get more customers



But, we're also taking this unfortunate event as a blessing in disguise because:

- This gives us the idea to explore more on other marketing strategies such as Google Ads and there's nothing wrong with refocusing back on doing email marketing and other Gorilla marketing tactics which have been proven effective before the internet era

- We are reminded to make sure to get email addresses, phone numbers and other contact info from our clients in case we lose access to our social media and other online accounts that we use in marketing our training business

- May it be paid advertising or organic ways (flyers, business cards, etc.) to market the business, as long as we see it effective, then why not?



Our takeaways:

- Be creative and diversify your marketing tactics for your training business.

- Don't forget to secure all your social media and other online accounts all the time!



Hope this helps you out! Busy season is here, work hard, have fun!

First episode of the new year! If there is one thing that you should consider doing this year, It is reading one book…

A lot of trainers have been recommending this to me and I don’t often say a book is a must-read, but "Profit First" definitely has earned it. This book focuses not only on the heath of your business, but making sure you have your ratios intact. 

Also with Profit First, similar to the so-called "Envelope System", you've got pockets of:
- Operating Expenses (i.e. gym rental, teammate fees, marketing fee, etc.)
- Profit Account
- Tax Account
- Income Account
- Owner's Compensation Account

So, anyone running a basketball business should listen to this and I guarantee that it will change your perspective on your business' finances going into 2023.
