Building a strong tribe? What does this mean? It means that you are surrounding your self with like minded people who are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. At Samson's we have had people come and go but the ones that stick around are our family. They come to the gym to work and they love it no matter how hard it gets. I will come in to train a group and they will notice that one person is missing and I tell them that he is not coming back. They tell me "It's not for everyone" and they are exactly right. It's not for everyone, so do not go out of your way to make it for everyone. Don't turn against what your heart says just to make a sell. If you think that person does not fit your tribe than get rid of them. If you don't you will hate your job and you will bring down the atmosphere of your gym.
We have built our tribe out of an awesome group of athletes, moms, dads, and people just looking for a challenge. There are many ways to create a tribe of like minded people. You have to bring in people that will not only push themselves but push those around them. You have to have a trainer's who walk the walk. Train the people you want to, do not settle for anything less. This is a sure way to kill your tribe. The most important thing of all is you have to care about your clients and show them that you care. If they see that you want them to be great and that you care when they do, than the sky is the limit for you and their success. I go to work everyday wanting to see my clients succeed, not just wanting to collect a paycheck and this has driven my business to succeed.
Follow your heart in business and be driven by your passion, this will build the biggest and strongest tribe you could ever imagine.
