Had a Great conversation with Mitch McGinley, founder of Boutique Fitness Brokers. Mitch helps studio owners maximize their exit and turn their passion into a profitable sale. We talked about more than just business—we dug into courage, family, freedom, and what it takes to move from being in your business to selling it well.
Here are 3 powerful takeaways:
? You will exit—plan for it now. Every business has an exit. Whether it’s planned or forced, Mitch says, “It’s your biggest asset. Build it to sell.”
? Step out to scale. If the business can’t run without you, it’s not ready to sell. Mitch walks through how to recruit and train the right people so the business thrives without you.
? Live your yoga off the mat. From selling his yoga studio to traveling Europe with his family, Mitch shares how patience, kindness, and clarity have guided both his business and his life.
? Listen to the full episode to hear how he went from hospitality to selling studios—and how he’s helping others do the same.
