These are spreading like a plague

Some people love them. Some people hate them.

But one thing is for certain:

Reality TV shows ain’t going anywhere soon.

In fact, I just saw a segment on the Today Show about a seminar which helps Reality TV Wanabees learn what producers of the shows are looking for in cast members.

How does this relate to you. Read more

How to Pick My Brain to Succeed In the Fitness Industry

SMACK.Sometimes I’ll do something for so long that just doesn’t make sense.

And I’ll smack myself in the head after I’ve corrected it.

SMACK.

You’re not the only one who self-sabotages.

There are times we have something extraordinarily valuable staring us in the face and don’t even know it.

It might be an opportunity to save time.

It might be a chance to learn something profound that will change our business - and us - forever.

It might be even be a circumstance where you get to ask someone a question that you KNOW if answered, your life would be so much easier.

Hmmmm. Watcha think about that.

I get a lot of people who email me and want the chance to pick my brain.

Well, did you know you CAN pick my brain if you are a member of http://PersonalTrainerU.com

And Pat Rigsby’s brain.

And Nick Berry’s brain.

And hundreds of other successful personal trainers.

It costs a freakin’ dollar to pick our brains for 30 days.

SMACK.

Who loves ya?

Yours in prosperity,

The Ultimate Reason Why

This may be the most important newsletter I’ve ever written, so please be sure to read all of it.

 

 There’s a company I know that has grown to become very successful for one reason beyond all others:

 

 They had a big enough “why.”

  

Their leader was told for years that what he wanted to accomplish just couldn’t be done.

 

 Time after time he was turned away by programmers who told him the software he needed created to make his dream a reality just couldn’t be written.

 

 But this man had a big enough “why.”

  

And he never quit on his dream because of it.

 

 You see, this man was inspired by the death of his own brother to create a company that helped people show appreciation for one another.

  

He had missed the chance to tell his brother he loved him, and he vowed to build a business that would prevent others from doing the same.

  

When everyone was telling him it couldn’t be done he would only need think back to his reason “why.”

 

 He had made a promise to his brother and it would NOT be broken. Read more

An interesting question

<!–[endif]–>

I got this question yesterday. Please read it and my response.

“Hi Jim,

 

 

I want some TYPICAL examples of earnings for fitness pros who are making money in corporate wellness.”

 

thanks,

Chris

JL: First, please understand that I write this with a pleasant smile on my face. Email does a lousy job of relaying the tone of the conversation.

Second, why in the world would you want to know the TYPICAL earnings?

Why?

I don’t care what the typical is. I want to know how much loot the BEST company is raking in.

Typical is not what I want from my life.

And if you think I’m making too much of this…

Words are powerful. Self-talk is powerful.

Watch everything you say. Watch everything you write.

Who loves ya?

Yours in prosperity,

Jim Labadie

PS - By the way, the best corporate guy I know is my buddy BJ Gaddour. I interviewed him for the whole scoop in my http://SixFigureBootCamps.com program.

PPS - Yes, BJ is the trainer who takes 15 weeks of vacation each year. That takes the cake, huh? http://SixFigureBootCamps.com

Like night and day

You hear it over and over again:

“Just one little thing can turn your world upside down.”

In this case, I mean upside down in a good way.

But it really is true. And it really is plain and simple.

One idea can take you from barely scraping by, to making moolah hand over fist.

But some people seem determined to reinvent the wheel.

Dustin Maher is NOT one of those people.

Dustin Maher is one of my http://HowToProfitWithBootCamps.com customers who is taking the world by storm.

The proof is in the pudding:

“Jim,

I just wanted to thank you for giving me the confidence and the tools to run outdoor bootcamps.

I purchased your Boot Camp Marketing program late spring and set a launch date of 6 weeks from the time I received it.

I decided to go big and open up 4 different camps for my first crack at bootcamps. I hired another trainer to do one of them and I did the other three. I decided to run my bootcamps in six week sessions and I am coming upon my final week of the first session.

The response has been amazing!

I have 40 paid members and they are all enjoying it greatly! I am opening up two more locations for my next session of boot camps that will start in just over a week.

My goal is to have 70 paid members for this coming session.

The tools that are in your program allowed me to get such a great turnout and helped me become the boot camp leader in Madison, Wisconsin!

It is great knowing I am helping so many people out and making about $140 an hour doing so!

I would highly recommend your program to people who are looking to change more lives and make more money doing it!”

Sincerely,
Dustin Maher

JL: Awesome job, Dustin. Hopefully this is just the wake-up call other fitness pros who were sitting on the fence needed.

To quote The Shawshank Redemption:

“Get busy living, or get busy dying.”

Make it happen.

Who loves ya?

Yours in prosperity,

Jim Labadie

PS - Running fitness boot camps is like money in the bank.

Return on Investment

David Whitley is a Sr. RKC instructor one of the most respected Kettlebell experts on the planet.

David Whitley is the perfect example of a fitness professional with multiple streams of income.

David Whitley is one of my best customers who has LITERALLY spent thousands of dollars with my business.

Here is a look at his Return on Investment:

Boot camp classes make up about 60% of his total income. They take SIX hours of his time each week.

He also does small group sessions with 1-3 people. These sessions net him from $100-$200 per session.

David performs workshops and rakes in $250-$350 PER PERSON that attends.

Plus, he has multiple passive income streams including:

His own DVD series at http://RenegadeConditioningSecrets.com
(These are amazing)

He has a newsletter list so he is able to make good moolah from affiliate promotions.

Send Out Cards brings in residual income each month.

And of course, he sells Prograde.

David Whitley is part of the Cream of the Crop I wrote about yesterday.

But he isn’t done yet. I’ll bet you dollars to doughnuts he’ll continue to invest in his business education and continue to take things to even higher levels.

You should follow his lead.

Who loves ya?

Yours in prosperity,

Jim Labadie

PS - David Whitley is living the life of his dreams. Are you?

“Jim,

I want to thank you for all that you have done in helping me move toward living the dream. The house, the boost in income doing what I love, the Sr. RKC promotion, all that has been affected by what you have taught me and my improving ability to visualize and attract.

Thanks so much and I am looking forward to growth for all of us!”

Cream of the Crop

I’m VERY excited.

VERY.

I was on the phone with Pat Rigsby yesterday and we started to shape the outline of a new program that is going to raise the bar on everything for those of you who train adults.

I’m thinking it will be ready this fall.

It’s going to require you to have a LOT of skin in the game.

It’s going to be for those of you who have a burning desire to succeed.

We’ve gotten to the point where it is time to reward the most ambitious by delivering to them much more than a business.

We’re taking it up ten notches.

This fall we will see the Cream of the Crop rise to the top in a whole new way.

I’m VERY excited. You should be, too.

Who loves ya?

Yours in prosperity,

Jim Labadie
