Business Expensable Boxing

I wanted to start boxing with a coach.

Being coached 2 times a week can quickly be expensive (even more in Switzerland).

So instead I found a coach I could help.

He's running a coaching business for corporates, traders, bankers.

He needs his offer to be seen by this demographic.

So I offered a deal:

Boxing coaching vs Lead sniping.

And it worked.

I'm even getting paid to box because I take commissions on sales of coaching.

Sometimes the solution isn't just what it looks like.

But you just gotta be creative.

Not everything you need needs to be bought with money.

Most people think in binary terms: either I can afford it or I can't.

But there's a third option that no one talks about:

The creative deal.

When something is outside your budget, you have 3 options:

1. Don't get it (most common)

2. Go into debt (also common)

3. Find a creative deal (rare)

Most people never even consider the third option.

They end up either living without what they want or paying too much for it.

Either way, they lose.

The real problem is thinking that money is the only currency.

It's not.

You have skills, connections, and knowledge that are valuable to others.

Start thinking in terms of value exchange, not just money.

My boxing coach doesn't care about my money.

He cares about getting more clients.

I happen to be good at getting the attention of that exact demographic.

So we made a deal:

He coaches me in boxing. I help him get clients.

Win-win.

It works for anything:

• Want a personal trainer? Offer to help with their social media.

• Want to join an expensive mastermind? Offer to help the organizer with operations or shoot content.

• Want to work with a high-level coach? Offer to bring them clients.

The key is to figure out what they actually need that you can provide.

Money is just one form of value. There are countless others.

And sometimes, the creative deal is actually better than just paying for something.

Because it creates a relationship, not just a transaction.

My boxing coach is now invested in my success because I'm invested in his.

We're partners, not just service provider and client.

That's the power of thinking beyond money.

See you in the trenches,
