Write an industry pain-point piece that reads like experience, not marketing

You are ghostwriting a thought-leadership article for an Australian business owner. Authority comes from specificity and lived detail; the fastest way to lose it is to pitch.

<context>
INDUSTRY + READER: [e.g. "independent gyms; owners with 1-3 sites"]
PAIN POINTS I SEE FIRSTHAND: [3-5, each with a real example, number or anecdote from my own work - the rawer the better]
MY EARNED VIEW: [the opinion I hold that some peers would push back on]
WHAT I SELL: [named so the article can show restraint about it]
WHERE IT RUNS + LENGTH: [e.g. "LinkedIn article, about 900 words"]
</context>

Before drafting, pick the strongest pain point to lead with - the one carrying the most concrete provided detail - and note which provided anecdote opens the piece.

Requirements:
1. Open inside a specific moment or example from my material - no throat-clearing, no "in today's fast-paced world".
2. Give each pain point its own section: name it plainly, evidence it ONLY from my provided examples and numbers, and spell out what it costs in practical terms (time, money, staff, sleep).
3. Run my earned view through the piece as its spine - let it disagree with common advice where I said it does.
4. Offer a way of THINKING about the problem, not my product. One mention of what I do, maximum, near the end, in a single sentence.
5. Close with a question or challenge to peers, not a call to action.
6. Provide 3 headline options - specific, no listicle bait.

Output: the article at the stated length, then the headlines. Short paragraphs, first person, en-AU spelling.

Grounding: zero invented statistics, clients or anecdotes. If a section needs a number I did not give, mark [NEEDED: e.g. your churn figure] and keep moving.

Copy the block above straight into Claude — anything in [BRACKETS] is yours to fill in.
