Welcome back! If you want results quick, check out my "63 Must-Have Sales Tips for Personal Trainers"
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,

Ultimate personal training hobby
May 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.
return to house on haunted hill download free
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,

BIG problem for personal trainers
May 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.

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.”

On Saturday I reminded you the need for urgency. There are thousands of other trainers out there who are starting to “get it.”
So along with getting your butt into high gear there’s something else you need to do:
Be unique.
Do something a little different.
Do NOT get lost in a sea of sameness.
Look outside the fitness industry for ideas.
And when you come up with something ACT on it right away.

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:

yet another public speaking mistake
May 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.

The Ultimate Reason Why
May 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
March 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.

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.

The Fastest Way to Becoming a Local Fitness Celebrity
January 2, 2008 by jim · Leave a Comment
The Fastest Way to Becoming a Local Fitness Celebrity
Many personal trainers have heard a great way to grow their business is by becoming a local fitness celebrity. But many don’t have any idea how to do it. Fortunately, with some effort, it’s very easy to accomplish. In fact, there are two things any trainer can be doing right now to catapult from unknown to “the” fitness expert in their area almost overnight.
Public Speaking
Nothing builds credibility like public speaking. Nothing. As soon as the speaker stands in front of their audience they are recognized as an instant expert. It’s an interesting phenomenon, but people automatically assume since the person is addressing an entire group they must be a credible source of information. Additionally, most people’s greatest fear is public speaking, so anyone who is able to actually do it is treated with respect and treated as an authority instantly.
Personal trainers who have a fear of speaking to groups can easily overcome it by becoming a member of Toast Masters International. It is an organization with a proud history of helping people overcome their fear of public speaking and improving their skills greatly. For information on them you can research www.ToastMasters.org
Finding speaking engagements is relatively easy; many civic clubs, networking groups and local associations have weekly meeting which feature a new presenter each time. Fitness professionals actively seeking places to speak can search the Internet for organizations in their area and contact them directly. Most are more than happy to have a presentation on weight loss and well-being.
Writing
After public speaking there is no faster way to be recognized as an expert in your field than publishing content. And unlike the days before the Internet, it couldn’t be easier than it is today.
Simple “how-to” articles can be easily written and published all over the Internet and beyond. These articles are typically 500 words in length and can be used in any number of ways. They can be posted as “deep content pages” of a website to drive search engine traffic. Articles can be submitted to article directory sites, such as www.EzineArticles.com , to be distributed all over the Web by Internet publishers who need content for their websites and blogs.
And of course, blogging has taken the Internet a step further and made it even easier for a trainer to demonstrate their expertise. Blogs are “loved” by the major search engines (think Google) and can be started with free software such as www.Blogger.com However, it is typically best to use a blogging program that incorporates WordPress technology, such as www.Thei360blog.com
At the same time, trainers should not forget about the “offline” world when it comes to writing. They can easily use the same articles they have written for the Internet and print copies to be distributed at places such as physician or chiropractic offices, or wherever their target market frequents, for that matter. Of course, all articles need to include a bio at the end and a strong call-to-action so the reader knows how to take action next.
Becoming a local fitness celebrity is not complicated. It merely takes effort. Any personal trainer who decides to become a prolific writer and speaker will be handsomely rewarded for it.
