A gym trainer at Gold Life Health Club befriended the owners of Zarafa's coffee shop downstairs. He traded personal training sessions with Adrian, the owner, for business coaching about franchises. The speaker suggests you find what you can barter: your skills for someone else's knowledge.
So I used to work at one of the gyms I worked at when I moved to the Gold Coast was the Good Life Health Club when it first opened up in Helensvale. And so downstairs there's a Zarafa's coffee shop. Between training and things like that, I would go down there and have a coffee, and I got to know the original owners of that. And at that point in time, I was starting to learn about, you know, I'd read Kiyosaki and I was learning about business systems and I was learning about different type of things. And so I was starting to ask some questions. I went down and I asked Christine, and I said to her, can I talk to you about franchises sometimes? Is that cool? She goes, hey, I'm not the right person to talk to, but speak to my husband, Adrian. Turns out Adrian was a member of the gym upstairs. So what do you think I started swapping? Personal training for business coaching. Good deal for him, good deal for me. Didn't cost me any money. Happy days. So what do you have that other people might find valuable or useful that you can go and swap some stuff with?
