“Financial Epidemic Affecting Fitness Pros Worldwide!”
I have something to tell you.
It may be a little shocking to you, but I’d rather you hear it from me than someone else.
I’m sad to say that I’ve been seeing more and more cases of this illness in Fitness Professionals everywhere I turn.

Yes, that’s right; many of your comrades are suffering from Entrepreneur’s Disease.
I know, I know. It hurts to admit it, but it’s true.
What exactly is this terrible condition and how do you know if you suffer from it?
Well, it’s simple really.
The main symptom is a clear lack of focus and crystal clear vision for one’s fitness business.
It would be the business equivalent of running around like a chicken with your head cut off.
Ask yourself these questions:
- Have I ever come up with what seemed like a brilliant idea and chucked everything else I was working on out the window only to come up with another brilliant idea the next day and then repeated the “chucking” process?
- Have I got several lengthy “to-do” lists that I know full well I’ll never get to?
- Do I routinely change the focus of my business so that I myself don’t even know who my target market is anymore?
- Have I started what seem to be a million different projects and gotten MAYBE a handful of them actually completed? And of those how many made me any significant amounts of money?
- Do I have a clear objective of what I want my business to look like?
How much I want to earn from it? What I want it to sell? How much I actually want to work in it? How often I would like to be able to take a vacation without worrying about it?
- Have I really come to grips with the fact the reason to start a business is to sell a business? Do I have an exit strategy? Do I know what my business is going to look like in one year? Five? Ten?

- Do I really want to keep wandering aimlessly like this? Do I really want to continue to guess and hope I’m doing the right things?
I think you can see my point, right?
It’s pretty darn easy to diagnose yourself as having a case of serious Entrepreneur’s Disease.
Essentially, it’s owning a business that has no clear focus, no plan, and no direction.
And yes, this disease is fatal!
You might walk away ok, but if you don’t find a cure your business will die. You know it and I know it.
The buzz in the air of Fitness Pros nowadays is taking action.
Yes, taking action is critical. It’s how you gain momentum and get things started in the right direction.

But it’s not enough.
In reality, what you really need is to take LASER FOCUSED ACTION!
So what’s the cure?
Pretty simple really.
Answer all the questions above honestly and then set about correcting your course.

The Mystery of Human Behavior
January 30, 2007 by jim · Leave a Comment
I don’t always know why people do what they do.
download best of the best 3 no turning back dvdrip
But two things I do know:
1- The more you tell people they can’t have something, the more they want it.

2- The more you reward a behavior, the more of that behavior you will see from people.
I cannot urge you strongly enough to think about those two things this weekend.

The Power of Baby Steps

Have you ever noticed the similarities between business and fitness?
Haven’t you noticed that most of the people who get their lazy butt off the couch one day and decide they are FINALLY going to get in shape are the ones who fail?
They have no plan.
They have no support system.
They don’t have the know-how.
They just dive in head first and change everything about their life.
capote dvdrip download
And in a couple of weeks they’re back to stuffing their face with every potato chip they can find.
But the same is very much true of trainers.
They suddenly decide they have had enough.
No more working for The Man!
They’re going to make drastic changes.
They’ve got 5 different info-products in the works…
They’re working on their website…
Part of their referral program is in place…
They’ve started to ask around about doing a boot camp…
And what happens?
Well, within a few weeks pretty much nothing.
There was a giant cloud of dust.
There was a whole lot of work done.
But nothing actually got accomplished.
Or…
…for some the new marketing works and a flood of new clients comes in.
So what happens?
They’re flush with cash and happy as a clam training all these wonderdul people.
So the business will have to be put on hold.
Someone has to service all these people, right? They paid already.
So what’s my advice?
Calm down!
Take a step back.
Get one thing done at a time.
Create a plan.
Take baby steps towards its completion.
Welcome mistakes. They are the only way you will really learn.
Correct those mistakes.
Take more baby steps.
Who loves ya?
Yours in prosperity,

“Jim,
Just wanted to give you a quick heads up on the progress I’ve made with my camps since purchasing your Ultimate Boot Camp Product.
I started in March ‘06 with about 10 people attending. It’s steadily grown over the last 9 months with this month hitting 56 enrolled!!
walled in online
It was your product that cemented the idea to start my own camps. I had no idea at the time that some initial guidance from the Ultimate BC CD’s and some marketing know how would amount to a such a successful business.
I want to thank you for providing that spark that ignited what this year will be a SIX-FIGURE boot camp business!!”
Yours In Health,

“Hi Jim,
My name is Lyle Johnson, owner of MVP Fitness in St. Louis. I purchased your Boot Camp Start Up Kit and have gotten great results. I have had 44 camp members enroll in MVP Fitness Boot Camp in the first month. Not bad considering I only had 3 clients last year before the Kit!
Currently I am holding three camps; one at a local high school, another in an affluent subdivision and the other one for the St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Organization, which is actually held on the baseball diamond at the brand new Busch Staduim.
I feel great and very confident in the future direction of MVP Fitness and I am looking forward to improving more people’s lives by offering more boot camps.
Thanks again! Your Ultimate Boot Camp Start-Up Kit CDs really helped me grow my business!”

Get BIG Publicity (And Moolah) With One Email
January 30, 2007 by jim · Leave a Comment
Can you really get BIG media exposure with one email?
Yes, you can.
Does it ALWAYS happen?
No.
But as Wayne Gretzky said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
The media doesn’t create the news. They cover it.
And they are always looking for interesting stories, so they’re more than happy to hear about one from you.
I was in NJ visiting my family at the end of June. And while I was there I saw yet ANOTHER newspaper article on Boot Camps.
Check it out here:
free house on the edge of the park the
“Boot Camp Whips People Into Shape” http://tinyurl.com/2jz4lq
The writer participated in the camp and wrote a story about it.
Happens all the time.
And it couldn’t be easier for you to invite your local media to do the same.
1- Find out who in your area covers “Better Living” kind of stories
2- Find out how to contact them
3- Contact them and invite them to come to your camp.
Pretty simple really.
And with Boot Camps it’s even easier because:
A- There are lots of visuals for pictures to include with the story
B- There are lots of people to interview for the story
C- People are always interested in shedding pounds
D- It’s easy for the journalist to cover because they simply write about their experience
I’ve written it many, many time before: Life is easy, when you let it be.
Who loves ya?
Yours in prosperity,

“Hey Jim,
When I’m running my boot camp class I’m always thinking, ‘what a great use of my time’. It comes out to about $210 an hour. It’s a great way to start your morning!
I am planning on hiring another trainer, or doing two classes next month. Thanks for your help, and the Ultimate Boot Camp Start-up Kit CD’s!”

I’m at the Perform Better Summit this weekend debuting the new 100% Organic http://GetPrograde.com Snack Bars - which by the way are the best tasting bar on the planet! - but I had to drop you a quick line to share some really cool ways to build your business and help a lot of people at the same time.
Without further ado:
1) Wild-man Zach Even-Esh recently held a fund raiser to support a cause near and dear to his heart - and mine - while helping promote his newly launched training facility in NJ.
Check out this article and ask yourself if there’s any reason you couldn’t do the same:
http://ems.gmnews.com/news/2007/0620/Front_Page/026.html
2) Scott Colby is hosting a “tele-fundraiser” to accomplish the same things. You can see what Scott is up to here:
http://www.MyUltimateFitnessMindset.com
crossing over movie
By the way, Scott is one of my most successful Ultimate Boot Camp Start-Up Kit customers. Nowadays he only runs camps - no one-on-one training - and has taken advantage of all that free time by becoming a powerhouse fitness internet marketer as well!
3) Another Ultimate Boot Camp Kit customer, Eric Gelder, has had SO much success with his camps in Chandler, AZ that the local parks and rec is looking to take a piece of his action!
Yeah, that’s right, he’s making so much loot they sat up and took notice. And when I say they wanted a piece, they wanted a BIG piece.
But don’t despair, you can do what I recommended Eric do. Here is the EXACT advice I gave him:
“Eric,
Well, turn lemons into lemonades, baby!!! How about this: Do it - your boot camp - at a church OR the property of another non-profit and give 10% of the money to them. Don’t know if you donate 10% of what you earn but it’s amazing how that comes back to you. Plus, the tax donation AND the PR opportunities AND the exposure to the congregation or the people working at the non-profit…
Oh, and when you approach them you tell them you’ll donate 10% of the profits to them. And you can offer a discount to their people…I think that’s more than reasonable and the more you give the more you get!”

The (Publicity) Secret
January 27, 2007 by jim · Leave a Comment
I’ve been telling people about it since it first came out last year.
I’ve seen it quite a few times.
Chances are, by now, you’ve seen it too.
Seen what?
The movie “The Secret”, that’s what.
And unless you’ve been living under a stack of free weights you’ve seen all the national press The Secret has been gathering lately.
Larry King
Ellen
Oprah
And from what I understand it was on The Today show this morning. It’s going to be in US Weekly and in Newsweek as well.
Know what that means?
There is no better time to piggyback on The Secret than right now.
It’s hot. RED-HOT!!!
So now is the time to tell the media how you apply The Secret (the law of attraction) to your fitness business!
Who loves ya?
Seriously. Do you have any idea how much this can be worth to you?
Yours in prosperity,

PPS- It worked for Brian Grasso. It will work for you.
“I am not in the habit of writing testimonials for professionals just for the sake of doing it. I honestly believe that it is important for fitness and sport training pros to have ‘one of their own’ assess the usefulness and practicality of a product for them, and then be able to declare it worthwhile or otherwise.
With Jim Labadie, and I can tell you without exaggeration, his products and information will transform your business forever. We all want to be busy; we all want to be in the media; we all want to be recognized as an expert. The reality is however, getting all of those things require know-how. Jim has the know-how.
There are several products on the market that educate fitness and sport training pros how to gain recognition in this very cluttered and competitive industry. They all come a very distant second to Jim Labadie.
Want to test the practicality of Jim’s products yourself? Go have a look at any local Tampa paper or news medium (where Jim is from). I GUARANTEE that you will see Jim Labadies’ name. He KNOWS that this stuff works because he uses it with absolute success himself. What more do you need to know?
It’s not whether you can afford to buy this product… It’s whether you can afford not to.”

But there’s a good chance you don’t know the third member of the http://trainersinnercircle.com mentorship program.
So I had the man who “trims the fat” from fitness businesses write some tips for you to introduce you to the one and only Nick Berry.
It’s the type of information I don’t touch on nearly enough.
- Jim

One of the lessons that far too many entrepreneurs, in any industry, learn too late (or never at all) is this:
It’s not how much you make, it’s how much you keep.
There are a ton of individuals and businesses out there whose revenues look incredible, but they aren’t making any money.
Well, the bottom line is the bottom line. And generating revenue is only part of the entrepreneurial battle.
Cost control is another major issue. It doesn’t really matter to me how much revenue you bring in, if you can’t manage to keep any of it, now does it?
There are an infinite number of ways you can go about controlling your costs and keeping more of what you’ve earned. I’ve outlined a couple of the concepts that I recommend to anyone who wants to ‘trim the fat’ from their business.
1) Want vs. Need
This is the simplest of formulas for controlling your costs.
Ask yourself one very simple question whenever deciding upon an expenditure:
How will my business be affected if I do/don’t do this?
It’s a simple matter of wants vs. needs.
Another example is an acquaintance of mine who started his own business.
When it came time to clean some of his floors, he went out and bought a mop, a mop bucket, soap, and some sponges.
He spent almost $60 on cleaning supplies - all of which were the highest end products.
You can go buy a mop, bucket, soap and sponges for under $25. He WANTED a rolling mop bucket and wringer, he NEEDED a bucket that would hold water.
I understand cheap products don’t last as long, but if you overspend on items when it’s just not necessary, YOUR BUSINESS won’t last long.
This is not a ‘Cleaning Supplies Theory’, this is a 100% time tested business principle. You cannot overspend on everything and expect to have a highly profitable business. It’s impossible.
2) Time Management
It’s very cliché, but yes, time is money.
Therefore you’ve got to be as thrifty with your time as you are with your money.
When you are inefficient in task execution, minutes turn into hours, hours into days, and so on.
free frame of mind movie download
How often do you take 30 minutes to complete a 10 minute task? Your phone rings, you check your email (or your Fantasy Football Team), or any other numerous speedbumps that slow your productivity.
You are stealing time from your business. And if you have employees who are inefficient, they are stealing time from your business.
One of the most effective time management exercises I do for myself, when I feel like I’m not executing as many highly productive tasks as I’d like, only takes an extra 3 or 4 minutes a day.
Take a sheet of paper or small notepad and pen, and keep it with you.
All day long, every minute of your day is dedicated to some task. For example:
7:45-8:15 workout
8:15-8:40 meet w/ Pat and Holly
8:40-9:20 go to office, open mail, check email 9:30-10:30 AP reports and bookkeeping with CPA
10:30-10:43 Mgmt conference call
Get the idea?
But don’t lie to yourself. If from 9:20-9:32 you didn’t really do anything, then make sure you keep track of that.
By the end of the day you’ll know just how effectively you’re really managing your time.

Better Results in One Easy Step
The longer I do this, the more I realize one thing:
It’s all so much easier than we make it out to be.
pure country movie download
Strange how we love to make things so much harder and complicated than they need to be.
Alex Poole is a friend and customer of mine based in the UK. He posted something very powerful on the Trainer’s Inner Circle forum the other day.
What was it?
Glad you asked.
He increased his business in one easy step.
Alex told some clients who were only training with his business one time per week they would get far better results if they increased their sessions per week frequency.
They know Alex. They trust Alex. So they went along with Alex.
So what could you be telling your current clients to increase your revenues and improve their results?
Could you tell them the same as Alex?
Could you tell them they should enroll in your weight management program?
Could you suggest their goals would be more easily reached if they started using a post-workout drink?
Could you suggest the health benefits if a powerful Essential Fatty Acid product?
I’ll write it yet again: Life is easy when we let it be.
Who loves ya?
Yours in prosperity,

Is a cereal going to kick your butt?
I don’t know if you’re old enough to remember, but back in the day Special K cereal had great ads that asked if you could “pinch an inch.”
Yeah, for as long as I can remember they’ve been going after the weight-loss market. And talk about brilliant marketing. I think that “pinch an inch” slogan was 20 years ago or something and I still remember it.
