Need advice

Hi Jimmy, and everyone in this community, I need your advice as I’m lost right now. So right now I’m doing personal training, and soon I want to start my smma agency for sports coaches (basketball, tennis, PT, volleyball, etc) who are self employed and struggling to get clients. So, a while ago I bought Alex Hormozis book ‘gym secrets’ which explains how he used FB ads to scale his gyms and how he created Gymlaunch, and I even bought the Gymlaunch ads course, except I would use those ads for getting personal training clients (since I don’t own a gym), and I would use client financed acquisition to scale (1 customer pays for 3-5 new customers when they pay upfront). So last month instead of going with FB ads I got 5,000 flyers printed and delivered to the local houses, as I thought it would work better, before I started experimenting with FB ads. I made a very good ad in my opinion and I followed everything in the ads course, but I ended up with 0 leads (I got 2 but they were tire kickers). Right now I’m down €700, and honestly I’m terrified of investing in FB ads, because I cannot afford to lose anymore money. I realise now I should’ve just gone with FB ads in the first place, but it feels like too big of a risk for me to try again right now. That €700 loss was a huge hit to my confidence and my spirit because I’ve lost way more than that prior to the flyers (PT certificate and other stuff related to setting up the PT business). These flyers were supposed to be my saving grace as I had been working on this business for way too long with no results and money constantly leaving my account trying to build this thing. Any advice on what you would do in my situation? The last thing I want to do is go back to my old job as I quit to make this thing work, but I also don’t feel confident investing in FB ads right now incase it drains my last bit of cash. If I do invest, I NEED these ads to work, and personal training already is a terrible industry for getting clients, but I’m in too deep now and don’t have a choice, I have to make this work and get my money back, and then I can start my agency once I’ve proven I can get clients. I’m open to all advice. Thanks for your help.
