I have some sad news...
Unfortunately Saturday the 29th of May 2021 will be Lisa Burns Training Studio & Mr Herbert's Coffee Shop last day of trade.
This was not our decision!
Our lease was coming to an end and we have been trying to get a new lease from our landlord. The landlord wanted us to expand into the carpark next to Mr Herberts, building something extravagant to make sure he got maximum rental return (his words).
I will be 7 months pregnant with a toddler at home and a husband that does shift work and to do such an extreme expansion of the business would not only be costly but physically not possible.
As we were not in a position to do this expansion of the building the landlord decided he will find someone else to do his request.
The thought of not being able to walk to Herbies with the pram and chat with all the amazing people I have met along the way, to visit my team, to teach my classes and see all my clients, the list goes on, is gut wrenching...
The only way I can look at this is that it is meant to be. With a second Bub so close, I can spend the quality early stages with my babies while searching for a new premise.
This is not the end. I will be hiring a room to teach pop up classes, Online BootyBurn classes will still be running and down the track in the not so distant future I plan to reopen Mr Herbert's with an even better set up and I will take on every lesson I have learnt from this experience.
Mr Herbert’s & BootyBurn have both been trade marked, so they are still my babies.
This will take some time to process, I have worked so hard for five years to build both business's to where they are today and to have it pulled out from under me is a lot to take in however I think a break will do some good after 5 years....
