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

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
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,
PS - Trainers who LOVE this stuff are making it happen on http://personaltraineru.com/ - it’s the Ultimate support community for any fitness pro who loves business.
BIG tip helps you succeed
Savvy business owners are always looking to cut costs in the right places.
But when it comes to anything dealing with legal issues, well, that is NOT the time to scrimp.
If you need a waiver created…
If you need to create a contract…
If you’re creating a partnership…
I know attorney fees can add up.
watch accidental spy the in divx
A few hundred here. A few hundred there. And maybe a grand or two just for fun.
But it doesn’t matter. You simply have to cover your butt from the beginning.
Get a good attorney on your team of advisors and follow their advice.
Run your business like a business.
Seems obvious, I know. But it’s advice that is often ignored.

PS - Bonus tip: You need to use Public Speaking as part of your marketing strategy.
PPS - Just in case you missed this:
“Hi Jim,
I wanted to thank you for your email and concern about the http://AmazingFitnessPresentations.com kit. I have been putting the information to good use.
My first experience was at a church function. We signed up forty (40) new clients.
We are doing a yoga class once a week at the church hall. Everyone was very excited about this new class and to experience a new exercise routine on the church premises. I am sure that once we get a few classes going, we will start building new clients. This kit has been very helpful and informative to me and my group.
I enjoy reading your emails everyday and I will encourage every personal trainer to get this kit. Thanks again.”
Best Regards,
Martin Addo

Typical health club trainer
May 28, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment
This isn’t the case everywhere, but a lot of places.
It’s pretty easy to be the dominant trainer in your club because the typical club trainer is:
- More interested in the opposite sex members of the club than their clients.
- More interested in complaining to their clients than actually training them.
- Completely unwilling to learn anything about sales or marketing - never mind actually put those skills to use.
So if you’re “cutting your teeth” in a club gaining valuable experience before starting your own thing, then follow this advice: Read more
Hey, I just had this crazy insight
return to never land free download borderland dvd with the help of Pat Rigsby and Nick Berry I’m getting more and more organized.
But like most every entrepreneur, I’ve always got more to do.
There’s always something that I just “haven’t had the time for.”
Well, that’s what I thought today.
Then it hit me:
What a load of crap.
I tell people to watch their self-talk all the time and here I was using the lame-ass excuse, I haven’t had the time.
No.
I haven’t MADE the time.
So anyway, that’s my new thing.
It’s either not worth my time or I will make the time.
Now one of the things I hadn’t MADE the time for was to post these videos I had recently shot.
You see, before I left for the Send Out Cards convention I took some amazing behind-the-scenes footage of our Prograde Nutrition facilities.
But they’re all posted up there now.
http://www.youtube.com/progradenutrition
Seriously, you’ve gotta check ‘em out.
And if you sell Prograde, you definitely want to embed these videos on your website and blog.
Don’t worry, I don’t mention our site or link or anything at all.
So just post the video and send them to YOUR Prograde store.
Who loves ya?
Yours in prosperity,

BIG problem for personal trainers
May 23, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment
Pat Ribsby wrote a great newsletter about this awhile back.
Plain and simple, there’s no defined career path for trainers.
Most of the time a trainer gets a certification and gets sent on their merry way to fend for themselves.
Heck, how many times has someone told you they’re a part-time trainer who has a full-time job in another field.
Or they work part-time as a bartender or limo driver or something.
The truth is, you CAN make a great living as a trainer if you seek out the knowledge of those who’ve actually made a business and career out of it.
Look, life is what you make it.
And while YOU might not be one of the part-bartender/part-trainer types, it is OUR collective responsibility to improve the credibility of this profession of ours.
Even if you’re a successful trainer already http://personaltraineru.com/ is the perfect place for you.
Why.
Because there are a ton of newbies on there who need your help and guidance - that’s why.
Come join us and help raise the bar.

PS - Just got this email from Nii Wilson. He’s one of my very successful http://howtoprofitwithbootcamps.com/ customers. In fact, I interviewed him for http://www.sixfigurebootcamps.com
“I’m loving http://www.personaltraineru.com
I love the professionalism and the “help each other team type of atmosphere.”
Most forums are negative but PTU is great.
I just wish more college programs taught what you teach, that way there would be a brighter light at the end of the tunnel for Exercise Phys/ Physical Education Graduates.”

Terrible financial news for trainers
May 10, 2008 by jim · 2 Comments
I realized something the other day when a trainer emailed me he is excited to achieve a six figure SALARY.
What’s wrong with that, you wonder.
Well, that is the thinking of an employee, not a business owner.
Actually, I should write, a WEALTHY business owner.
Too many trainers start a business without taking into consideration whatsoever the tax advantages that come with owning your own corporation.
They fail to realize they want their taxable income to be as low as possible.
Instead of hiring a team of qualified financial planners, attorneys and tax advisors they instead stuff all their receipts into a shoe box and have their spouse do their books at the end of the year.
Intelligent business owners abide by all tax laws. But they also work with savvy pros to reduce the amount they pay in taxes to a low as legally possible.
Building great wealth and financial freedom goes way beyond hitting that elusive 6 figure mark.
And on http://PersonalTrainerU.com we will be emphasizing this topic a great deal more.
We want you to build WEALTH, not just a boot camp business that more than pays the bills.
We’re talking about instilling a mindset in you that the world’s wealthiest already have:
- Your time is your most valuable commodity
- Abide by tax laws, but work with a team of advisors to limit your tax liability as much as possible
count of monte cristo the movie
- Make your moolah work for you
You might want to reread that last one again as I have not placed enough emphasis on it in this newsletter.
The super wealthy don’t have to work - at all. Their muney does all the work for them.
As I’ve told you recently, we’re taking things to a whole new level.
I’m telling you point blank: The trainers on http://PersonalTrainerU.com blazing saddles dvd download are at a distinct advantage over the ones who are not.
Period.
Still love ya.
Yours in prosperity,
PS - Do NOT make the mistake of ignoring this advice. The failure to learn about the true advantages of being incorporated WILL lead you to pay an untold fortune in taxes you may have been able to shield.
PPS - Again, I’m telling you point blank: The trainers on http://PersonalTrainerU.com
are at a distinct advantage over the ones who are not.
