Is business spiritual?
The answer is personal.
Over three years ago, I returned home from work one night, and I heard a voice in my spirit:
“It’s time to open another branch.”
I knew it was the Holy Spirit, but I ignored it.
Then it became a daily reminder.
I had every excuse ready.
“Isn’t it when a business is highly profitable, with enough overflow, that the owner opens another branch?”
“Where is the money?”
“It took me almost six years to build and fully equip the first Gym. Now You’re asking me to start another one?”
I had a bucket full of excuses.
Then the Holy Spirit impressed something on my heart that changed everything:
“While you’re waiting to perfect the first branch, someone else will see the cars parked outside your Gym, assume you’ve made it, and open a Gym on that same small Obi Wali Road.”
That statement stayed with me.
Interestingly, during our staff meetings, I would always tell my team:
“If you don’t improve, someone will open a gym on this road, and people will compare their coaches with you.”
One day, I finally stopped arguing.
I answered the call.
I embraced one simple principle:
Start with what you have and where you are.
The Holy Spirit said:
“Start, and give it 24 months. Then you’ll know that I make the impossible possible.”
So I started.
Today marks exactly 24 months.
It has been one incredible journey.
No days off.
No holidays.
No weekends.
No vacations.
Just work, sacrifice, faith, and consistency.
As I step into this next chapter, I call it The Lifestyle Era.
Happy 2nd anniversary to De-sculpture Gym, Eliozu
