Shouldn’t you be doing this?

Are you a business owner or a trainer.

As I always remind you, there’s a BIG difference.

Business owners are always looking for ways to make more loot.

Trainers are usually searching through their couch cushions hoping they’ll find a couple coins they can use to buy something to eat.

So what about you. Are you looking for easy ways to make more loot.

If so, answer the following and see how easy it is.

Can you possibly tell me you’ve never been asked by a client:

What should I eat for breakfast.

What can I eat before my workout.

What do I take after my workout.

These question can lead to great profit and better results for your clients.

I’m guessing they also wonder how you PERSONALLY answer these questions.

It’s really very simple.

You can answer those client questions any way you choose.

But the smart move is to answer them and make 30% commissions with Prograde products.

Take the day off…

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.

Terrible financial news for trainers

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

 

- 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 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.

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

Invisible fitness powers

Something I haven’t talked about recently is the power that comes for surrounding yourself with the right people.

 

 

And “people” includes your clients, you know.

 

 

I cannot begin to tell you the number of trainers I’ve heard from who use my Velvet Rope approach to eliminate headache clients.

 

 

Last week I wrote you about how perfectionism will kill your business quick.

 

 

Well, being surrounded with negative clients, friends and family all day is another deadly weapon to avoid all costs.

 

 

When you’re a good marketer and you have a steady stream of prospects coming in it’s pretty easy to turn away people you KNOW would make lousy clients.

 

 

And when you surround yourself with others personal trainers who are super positive and dedicated to helping you grow, well, it’s a lot easier to deal with friends and family telling you to give up and get a job.

 

 

Join the fitness pros on http://personaltraineru.com/ taking part in our Three More Mission:

Ultimate personal training hobby

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.

 

 

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.

Typical health club trainer

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

Deader than a medicine ball

I repeat the same messages to you over and over and over for one reason:

 

 

You can NEVER hear them enough.

 

 

And neither can I.

 

 

Nothing will kill your business faster than perfectionism. Read more

Hey, I just had this crazy insight

 

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,

 

CEO

BIG problem for personal trainers

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.

 

 

Who loves ya?

 

 

Yours in prosperity,

 

 

 

 

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.”
