Fitness Marketing Public speaking nightmare come true

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I had been worried about it all year. It had seriously been on my mind from the start of my freshman year in high school.

Speech class.

Yes, to get out of the 9th grade I was going to have to take Speech class.

And when I tell you it kept me up at nights I’m not even close to kidding.

So, as the the subject of this headline suggests, yes, my greatest fear came true during my first presentation.

I was up in front of the class trying to get through my notes when a kid in the front row screamed, “Look at Labadie, he’s shaking!”

Yup, literally shaking in my sneakers.

But you know what. I made it through. I made it through that speech and many, many since.

And I cannot begin to tell you how much muney that skill has made me. In fact, if I hadn’t fought through that fear and learned how to speak in front of people I’m not sure where I would be right now.

I wouldn’t be writing you all these emails, that’s for sure.

The lesson is simple: Don’t let your fears run your life. Because they sure as you know what will if you let them.

Who loves ya?

Yours in prosperity,

PS - My http://AmazingFitnessPresentations.com will teach you how I’ve used public fitness marketing speaking to make lots of muney. Period.

Red Blooded Marketing

When I first started my personal training business WAY back when I made a BIG mistake.

Well, I made lots of them, but I only want to go over one of them today. Read more

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

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

Be yourself and succeed as a personal trainer

This weekend is the Ryan Lee Boot Camp.

I’ll be there. Hope you will, too.

In 2005 I spoke there and told audience members what was probably the most important thing you can ever learn about self-promotion.

It’s not rocket-science. I’m pretty confident you’ve heard this before.

It’s better to be hated for who you are than be loved for who you’re not.

I make a damn good living at being myself in these emails.

When you meet me in person I’m the same guy. Read more

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.

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.
