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 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.

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.

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

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

August 23, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment 

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.

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.”
