Looking out for you with this one

Point blank:
If you rely on one source of income you’re potentially screwed.
Do you have any idea how many trainers I hear from who tell me they get ‘killed’ in August when their affluent clients leave on extended vacations and don’t come in for training.
Yet again, that is why I am a firm believe in Boot Camps.
By training groups you can make much more in less time.
You then use that extra time to create multiple streams of income.
- Work on building your autoship supplement sales into your business
- Create a SYSTEM for selling your info products
- You could start a Send Out Cards business on the side
- Make a program for traveling clients so when they leave for vacation you continue to service them and make moolah
You also use that extra time to learn everything you can about business, sales, marketing, publicity…
I’ll say it till the cows come home:
THINK like a business owner NOT a personal trainer.
Who loves ya?
Yours in prosperity,

Should I be mad at you

This weekend I was at the Ryan Lee Boot Camp networking with some of the most ambitious fitness professionals on the planet.
As I always write you, you simply MUST surround yourself with people who are high-achievers and successful business owners.
So how have you been doing with that lately.
Who makes up your inner-circle.
Have you taken any wealthy people in your town out to lunch lately.
Are you on http://PersonalTrainerU.com soaking up the positive vibes.
If you want to be rich you need to hang out with the rich.
Who loves ya?
Yours in prosperity,

 
PS - Get your butt on http://PersonalTrainerU.com and you’ll immediately be surrounded by trainers who DO make lots of moolah.

Chew on this one

This is what pisses so many experienced personal trainers off on the Internet.

Many super successful Information Marketers, coaches, experts and gurus simply are NOT the best at what they do.
They may be close. But most are good enough in their chosen field to deliver results.
What makes them so successful is the fact they are the best in their field at marketing themself.
They are so-called shameless self-promoters.
And here is their big secret: Read more

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

Stone Temple Workout

On Wednesday night Carol and I went to the Stone Temple Pilots concert here in South Florida.

 

 

We probably watched half of the opening act, and I must say, they were better than most.

 

 

Now I’m no musician, but these guys were pretty good pros. But there was nothing spectacular about them. In fact, I still don’t know the name of the band.

 

 

STP was a whole other story. 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.

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.”

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.
Yours in prosperity,

The Rocky Balboa Workout

This is the kind of drive and determination you MUST have if you want to run your own personal training business.

If you want to dream BIG, you have to go after it BIG. Watch and listen to Tony Robbins tell the story behind the success of Sylvester Stallone and you’ll learn what real desire and determination is.

40 Clients in 40 Minutes

Ok, so I do NOT know if his presentation took 40 minutes. It very well may have been less.

 

 

But I do know the result was pretty astounding.

 

 

I also know I am going to have to raise the price of my http://AmazingFitnessPresentations.com kit real soon.

 

 

See for yourself why I can’t continue to give this info away so cheap:

 

 

“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,

JL: Great job, Martin! Take my info and run. All the way to the bank, that is.

 

 

Bottom line: If you’re not using public speaking to grow YOUR  fitness business you need to have your head examined.

 

 

But I still love ya.

 

 

Yours in prosperity,

 

 

Jim Labadie

 

 

PS - Get it before I raise the price. And you know I will
