Carol and I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Palm Beach this past weekend. The R & R gave me so terrific ideas for video newsletters, so I shot them right there! Here’s the first one. It’s a MUST-SEE for anyone interested in Personal Training Business Prosperity.

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

The Dark Knight of Fitness

The other day I wrote about getting off our butts and getting out into the world.

I wrote about the need to get wired into your community.

I’m taking my own advice. 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.

Yours in prosperity,

The missed opportunity nightmare

I am not perfect. I know you know that.

There are times when I have missed my chance.

I do my best to help you avoid the same.

There are SOOO many ways to make mooloah.

Do NOT make the mistake of thinking like an employee. Read more

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.

yet another public speaking mistake

The lesson is simple:

Facts and figures don’t really fly.

Don’t act like a robot in front of your audience and regurgitate a bunch of scientific mumbo jumbo.

Communicating emotion in a way that creates a meaningful and personal connection with your audience is what is going to flood your bank account.

But most trainers don’t do that.

They whip out the power point and start giving away the store.

It seems completely counter intuitive but your audience doesn’t want the store, nor the robot.

They want to buy YOU.

If you cannot communicate emotion you cannot be a mega success in business.

Plain and simple.

Who loves ya?

Yours in prosperity,

PS - If you invest in http://AmazingFitnessPresentations.com I will teach you how.

How to Pick My Brain to Succeed In the Fitness Industry

SMACK.Sometimes I’ll do something for so long that just doesn’t make sense.

And I’ll smack myself in the head after I’ve corrected it.

SMACK.

You’re not the only one who self-sabotages.

There are times we have something extraordinarily valuable staring us in the face and don’t even know it.

It might be an opportunity to save time.

It might be a chance to learn something profound that will change our business - and us - forever.

It might be even be a circumstance where you get to ask someone a question that you KNOW if answered, your life would be so much easier.

Hmmmm. Watcha think about that.

I get a lot of people who email me and want the chance to pick my brain.

Well, did you know you CAN pick my brain if you are a member of http://PersonalTrainerU.com

And Pat Rigsby’s brain.

And Nick Berry’s brain.

And hundreds of other successful personal trainers.

It costs a freakin’ dollar to pick our brains for 30 days.

SMACK.

Who loves ya?

Yours in prosperity,

Jim Labadie
