Whether you’re a former Muay Thai fighter, coach, or entrepreneur, starting a Muay Thai business is an exciting journey. For one, you can help others achieve their goals, whether weight loss or becoming a professional fighter. And the best part is you get to make money on the side. Well, that depends on how you run things. In this post, we’ll explore tips to make your Muay Thai project in Thailand a success.
Before starting any business, you must know the ins and outs of the industry. You must know the current state of affairs and what direction the industry is headed both globally and locally. You must know how to get the best suppliers and distributors and attract customers. You must perform adequate market research before making any investment decision. Market research will help you know your potential clients’ motivations- this can be fitness or weight loss – and how to craft a marketing message to attract your target audience.
Know the basics of business management
It’s interesting how many people start a business without giving proper thought to the functional aspects of the company – like finance, accounting, marketing, production, etc. If your knowledge is limited, consider bringing in someone capable of running the business.
Build or rent a suitable facility
There’s no Muay Thai business without a training camp. But it’s not just enough to build any facility. You must ensure that you either build or rent the correct facility. You must ensure that the building is not too small or too large to maximize the amount you’re paying for space. Give proper thought to the layout and where training equipment will go. What’s more, ensure that you have all the right training equipment in the camp. That’s the first step to giving customers a great experience at your gym.
What brings life to a Muay Thai training gym are the trainers. That’s why you must hire trainers who are not only great fighters but are also inspiring and lovely people to be around. You want your clients to come into the training camp feeling they can conquer the world, and the trainer has a significant role in giving them that belief.
You must run a Muay Thai business like any successful company. That means managing your money carefully. There’ll always be constant pressure to pay bills, particularly at the starting stages – make sure you keep an eye on your cash flow, so you don’t get into unnecessary debt. What’s more, expect to spend long hours to bring the best out of your business. You must learn how to manage your time and delegate responsibilities to ease work pressure.
