As an entrepreneur you naturally are idea-driven but we often times you need a filter to shift through those ideas to cherry pick the best ones. Stupid decisions don't just cost you money, they can also cost you time. Money, is always replenish-able, time is not.
As a new gym business owner, don't worry about the tools, bells and whistles, make it about getting your critical mass clients, set a goal and don't get distracted.
