A Mosquito in a Nudist Colony – So Many Choices. Where to Begin?
Published: May 6, 2019
Robert Dedman, Sr., founder of ClubCorp, would often start team meetings with the phrase “I feel like a mosquito in a nudist colony. There are so many choices; where to begin.” The intention of this statement was to let the leaders of the company know how much opportunity there was before us; but at the same time letting us know that it wasn’t just about the opportunities;, instead is was about making the right decision in regards to the opportunities to pursue. We believe the mosquito in the nudist colony serves as an excellent framework for bringing forward the many opportunities we witnessed at four of this year’s fitness industry events; EHFF, FIBO, IHRSA and SUCCEED.
In this month’s white paper we bring forward some of the opportunities a wise operator might have explored if they had observed the tangible and intangible happenings of these four industry events. As to whether these opportunities are the right choice for our readers depends entirely on where you and your business stand at the moment.
