In today’s episode of The Business of Pickleball with Robert Allen and Dave Fu, we dive deep into what makes a pickleball business thrive. From sunny Southern California to the snow-dusted landscapes of Idaho, our hosts are gearing up for an eventful trip to Phoenix – one that promises insights from franchise events and industry leaders.
But here’s where things get interesting: financial modeling. It might sound dry but stick with me because Dave has brought his A-game as a former financial analyst to craft the Pickleball Club Financial Model (PCFM). This isn't just any spreadsheet; it's your crystal ball into the future of your potential pickleball empire.
The PCFM is meticulous – scenario analysis allows you to play out different outcomes like chess moves on a board. Every cost managed, every labor hour accounted for – these details can make or break your success story.
