Im 19 and in starting my first SMMA agency, the niche i have chosen is gyms, the reason i have chosen gym is because its a deep passion of mine and i have been consistently going for 2 years now 5 days a week. The reason i am writing this now is because i have recently reached boiling point of being broke, i still live my single mother and my sister, its not ideal living conditions for me as i constantly bump heads with them and i really want to move out.

I have been an action faker for about a year now - idea hoping from e-commerce, flipping items, and every online biz you can think of, i need something to come back to (this thread) and im going to document my process from start to finish. I have no experience with sales and my knowledge is low on how to run an agency, however i just need to get started.

I have a fear of cold calling and speaking on the phone but i am now prepared to push through and get my first client - outsourcing on certain topics if need be.

I have changed my mindset into creating value, i want gyms to have more clients so more and more people can kickstart their fitness journey.

I have yet to even create a website or anything along the lines, i start tomorrow. I am going to research everything i can that will help me grow.

I believe i can do this because - lets be real, anyone can start a SMMA agency and get their first client in 60 days if you have the hustle (something i havent recently had until my desire to move out and start my life)

Im going to start local, contacting gyms in a 100mile radius.

If anyone has experience in the SMMA field feel free to interact with this thread - ill take any help i can get.

Long term i want to get into real estate - thats where i will create generation wealth. But to get there i need capital, thats where my agency comes into play.

I dont know how often im going to update this thread, but ill try to post weekly advancements im making.

Thank you for reading, have a good day/night. :)
