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

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.

You can easily learn more and sign up right away at:

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

September 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

 

- 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.

Because these kids need your help

September 10, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment 

I’m not even sure where to begin on this one.

  

But I’m going to do my best to explain how you can help Jayson Hunter and me give thousands and thousands of bux to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

  

You see, our friend and fellow fitness internet marketer, Jon Benson, is having an all out affiliate promotion bonanza.

  

I’ve never seen this done before. He’s putting affiliates together in teams. And the team leader who puts together the best team gets some SERIOUS bonus moolah for taking a leadership role.

  

But instead of asking you to be a part of a team and help us win this loot, we’re going to take a different approach.

  

We want you to join our team - Team Charity - and whatever prize moolah we win we will donate to Make-A-Wish Foundation.

  

Now that itself is pretty cool, right?

  

But just as cool is the fact you’ll be promoting some really killer products AND will make 75% commission on each sale you make. And THAT moolah is yours to keep!

  

Here’s the thing:

 

 We are going up against some absolute MONSTER marketers.

  

It’s going to take us personal trainers all pulling together to make a run at it. And that’s why we really need your help.

  

We REALLY want to put on a good showing and make some wishes come true for some kids who deserve it.

  

You will find more details and how to sign up here:

 

 http://www.jvprofitcenter.com/access/7MM/141/team_Charity

 

 Please take some time and sign up to be a part of our team.

 

 You’ll also receive all the tools and resources to help you promote the products on that site.

  

Who loves ya? ;-)

 

 Yours in prosperity,

yet another public speaking mistake

September 5, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment 

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

September 5, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment 

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,

The Ultimate Reason Why

September 1, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment 

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

September 1, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment 

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:

 

 

Help MORE people

 

 

Make MORE muney

 

 

Have MORE free time

 

 

You’ll be so glad you did.

Yours in prosperity,

Ultimate personal training hobby

August 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.

 

 

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

August 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
