Write into your calendar what you will do with the extra time.

I was emotionally and physically exhausted. There was no possible way I could work any harder than I was already working.
I’m guessing I looked like I hadn’t slept in a week as I sat there in that office.
My meeting with my business coach was a short one. He could tell I needed one thing more than anything else.
To get the hell away from my business for a couple days.
And he told me something I’ll never forget, and you shouldn’t either.
“Your business exists to serve you. You do not exist to serve your business.”
So simple. So powerful. So true.
We created the Six Figure Six for http://PersonalTrainerU.com members so they would have a system in place to help their business serve THEM.
What about you. What systems do you have in place which help you keep what’s most important in your life first.

Easy training business growth
July 23, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment
As you know, I’m a HUGE believer in using public speaking to grow your training business.
Would you rather sell to one person at a time, or dozens.
That’s why you should be spending time each week actively seeking out speaking engagements.
Pretty easy.
In fact, it’s one of the 6 weekly activities found in the http://personaltraineru.com/ Six Figure Six system we unveiled last night. Read more
Your future really does depend on this

It’s a little difficult to convey through a text email how serious I am about this question.
What happens if your clients dry up?
Meaning, even with a great marketing plan and consistent leads there is always the chance clients just stop coming.
Well, for one thing you should have all of them on long-term contracts.
But you should also be creating multiple streams of income.
It’s one of the reasons I harp on boot camps over and over and over and over…
Training groups allows you a so much more free time to create other revenue streams.
And multiple revenue streams pick up the slack when one of them isn’t doing so great.
With more free time you could focus on:
- Creating info products and really learning how to make moolah online
- Or maybe learn all about Real Estate investing. And don’t give me that crap about the housing market. People who know what they are doing - I’m not saying I’m one of them right now - make tons of dough in all kinds of markets.
- Or maybe a REPUTABLE network marketing company like Send Out Cards. (more on this soon)
- Or maybe your spouse or even kids has an amazing talent or knowledge you could capitalize on.
There are SOOO many ways to make moolah.
Yes, you need to follow your heart and what you are passionate about.
But you also - I believe - want to strive for true financial freedom and security.
Be smart. Think smart. Do smart.

Precious, plain and simple
June 22, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment
I was interviewed on Monday about some of the biggest mistakes trainers make as business owners.
In case you didn’t know, it’s not just trainers that make these mistakes. It’s most small business owners.
One of the biggest is the almost complete disregard people have for their own time.
The mistake? Not having a plan in place to protect yours like a pile of gold brick from the very start.
I harp about this a lot because it’s so flippin’ important.
You can buy more of pretty much anything when it comes to business.
Heck, with the right marketing and PR you can pretty much buy credibility.
But you can’t buy back time gone by.
Bottom line: Time is your most precious commodity. It’s so cliche because it’s so true.
You can save more time by:
Getting my http://HowToGetMoreClients.com kit and drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to close a sale.
If you shaved 15 minutes off of every sales consultation you give, how much time would that add up to over the course of a year?
Seriously, if you were able to save even 5 minutes here and there doing things, what would it add up to over a lifetime?
If you were a member of http://ProgradeBusiness.com
, how much time would it save you if your clients were shipped their nutritional products via autoship each month?
What if you used http://TrainerShoppingCart.com download last mimzy the divx
to write your email newsletters and schedule them to go out while you were on vacation?
Work smart. Be smart. Do smart.
Don’t let life pass you by.

The fight is getting fierce

With the relaunch of http://PersonalTrainerU.com and the incredible buzz on the forum, one thing became more clear to me than ever.
Trainers everywhere are wanting to start boot camps and get into info products.
And as I’ve written before, competition is very much REAL.
If you’ve been THINKING about doing something you’d better realize you need to get your a@@ in gear and get to work.
Because all that stuff you’ve been putting off until tomorrow, well, it’s going to come back to bite you in that a@@ of yours if you don’t.
I love ya to death and everything, but I’m not here to hold your hand and tell you everything is going to be ok.
I’m here to tell you there are lots of other trainers out there DOING what you are TALKING about.
Just a friendly reminder you’re not the only trainer reading this email.

The billyunaires do this to create wealth
June 4, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment
On a hot August day down in South Florida last summer I was talking about business innovations with a friend of mine.
We were relaxing on his back porch drinking a beer when the the conversation turned to the Internet.
“All those guys making billyuns on the Internet are just lucky,” he said.
I just smiled.
“Well, there might be some to it. But the real key is innovation,” I replied. “Some people follow the trends. Others create them.”
I’m not too sure my buddy liked my thinking. Most people would much rather believe wealthy people got lucky. I guess it helps them sleep at night.
I think you can look at it one of two ways:
1 - Be like most people and resent the “lucky” innovators.
2 - Congratulate the innovators on their success and aspire to achieve the same level of wealth through mutual benefit and integrity.
I choose option #2.
Who loves ya?

PS - My buddy Ryan Lee has a cool new fitness software he is releasing today. You should definitely check it out at http://Body-Bot.com
The price is definitely right. Plus, I hear he’s bumping you up to a lifetime membership.

I get a kick out of people who tell me they don’t believe in competition.
I’m guessing they’ve been snorting to much Prosperity Dust from the Abundance fairies.
Yes, I believe in Abundance.
You know I believe in Prosperity.
But are you going to tell me Coke wouldn’t love to take over Pepsi’s market share?
Yes, all sorts of large corporations partner together.
But they still compete with one another.
Do people have unlimited dollars to spend on everything and anything?
No.
Are the large health club chains thrilled so many of the good fitness professionals are leaving to start their own business?
I’ll assume they’d be much happier if you weren’t.
Competition is real.
Competition is fierce.
Competition can put you out of business and seriously screw up the plans you had for your life.
And if you aren’t super freaking competitive I suggest you stick with a JOB because you’ll be in way over your head.
If you’re going to step in this arena you’d better come to play.
This is a game. And it can be a brutal, unforgiving game.
Bring your best. You’re going to need it.
Still love ya.
Yours in prosperity,
Jim Labadie

Another income stream for ya
May 29, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment
As a personal training business owner, you’re in a very vulnerable position if you rely on only ONE income stream.
VERY vulnerable.
But don’t you worry, I’ve got a solution for you.
My buddy Rocco Castellano has made - and this is very much true - millyuns over the course of several years by incorporating Fitness Consultations as one of his income streams.
You see, Rocco has done what most talk about. He really IS a celebrity fitness trainer in every sense of the word.
He has trained Spike Lee and JFK Jr. He has trained Miss USA contestants. He has a syndicated column that runs in newspapers all over the country. He’s got his own radio show.
He’s 100% the real deal.
And when he told Pat Rigsby and I about how much moolah he was making with his Fitness Consultations, well, we told him he needed to make a product out of it so we could share it with YOU!
If you know Rocco, you know he does NOT mess around.
So he revealed EVERYTHING. And he turned it ALL loose.
You literally get all he’s got in his http://UltimateConsultationSystem.com
It’s as turn-key as turn-key gets. It’s all in there.
I even grilled him for a solid hour to be sure we squeezed every little bit of profit building info from him.
And you’ll never believe what he has to say about landing TONS of publicity. (he really does make it stupid simple to turn yourself into a serious celebrity fitness pro)
Best part?
Pat and I told him we wanted this product to be crazy affordable.
And it is. It’s $29 smacks. Yup, just $29.
For now.
This Thursday at midnight EST, Rocco will be raising the price to $67. That’s a promise.
Just the forms and handouts alone are worth a couple hundred clams.
The http://UltimateConsultationSystem.com is a complete no-brainer.
Who loves ya?
Yours in prosperity,
Jim Labadie
PS - The more income streams the better. Plus, you can charge a hefty price for these. And Rocco makes it SOOO easy. Don’t dilly dally. Get over to http://UltimateConsultationSystem.com NOW and get it will it’s still a measly $29.
Ultimate personal training hobby
May 29, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment
I’m actually writing this to you on Saturday, August 23rd. There’s a couple reasons why:
1- I’m going to Vegas this week to Mastermind with some of the world’s most talented fitness internet marketers.
return to house on haunted hill download free
2- The other is, I love it.
I treat my businesses like businesses. But a lot of the time this is like one big hobby.
I love to “work.”
I love to learn about business and marketing.
But if YOU don’t…if you DREAD this stuff…
Well, you might rethink what you’re doing.
This stuff needs to become a part of the fabric of who you are.
If you can’t stand the thought of even opening a book on marketing you ought to stay an employee.
And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Life is too short not to do things you love the vast majority of the time.
Yes, there will always be times when you have stuff you MUST do that you just don’t feel like doing.
But business building should be fun.
It should be exciting.
You should be passionate about it.
Just some food for thought.
Who loves ya?
Yours in prosperity,
