FIVE LESSONS EVERY PERSONAL TRAINER CAN AND SHOULD LEARN FROM THE TERMINATOR …

Posted on 27. Jan, 2010 by Kaiser.

To do something new, different, and extraordinary, sometimes you need to adopt a totally new way of thinking and acting. Like they saying goes: “In order to accomplish something different, you must become someone different.” I couldn’t agree more. This line of thinking can get you in trouble or even leave you open to getting manipulated in some cases so be careful … But it can also help you get tons of leverage on yourself to achieve your goals faster than you would have thought possible. Let’s face it, to get something new and different from what everyone around you has, you’re going to need a couple of things: 1. Models and role-models of the success you’re trying to achieve (that’s why I try to give you a lot of them on this blog). 2. You’ll need a new peer group of people that want the same things as you, and are as committed as you to achieving them. 3. You’ll need new information. 4. You’ll need to take massive action and course-correct based on the feedback you get from your environment. 5. All that being said, you’ll also need to be a little crazy and have some fun. On [...]

Posted on 18. Sep, 2009 by Kaiser.

What’s always surprised me most about the success stories I hear coming in on the blog is how quickly and abruptly everyone takes action. These guys and gals all pick and burn the bridges once they find out about the world of Personal Training out there that doesn’t involve training in a big-box health-club.

But the answer to “when’s the right time?” is different for everyone. Every situation is different, and even though action needs to be taken fast, it’s relative. For example, here’s an email I just got from a long time reader of the blog Jeff. Looking at his delicate situation will bring to light to anyone that’s also looking to plan their health-club exit and start their training business.

HOW TO GET YOUR BUSINESS DEGREE FOR FREE: Welcome To Personal Training …

Posted on 17. Sep, 2009 by Kaiser.

It’s hard to think of anyone that doesn’t want to start a small business – and the ones that say they don’t are just lying or are too scared. I think it’s a secret desire of every man, woman, and child in America (and these days pretty much any country out there). The appeal is undeniable; to control your own destiny; to write your own checks; to throw your hat in the ring and see what you’re made of. For the ones that don’t want to do it, they’ll tell you the reasons why – the risks, the downside, the lack of security – there are plenty of excuses. The reason why starting a business is so difficult is because there are no places to really learn how to do it. Business schools are anything but – they teach you the skills to be a role player in a company, not necessarily start your own business. There’s no school that teaches you the ropes of how to be an entrepreneur and to start your own business – you have to learn on the job. And there are a plenty of things to learn: – Products choice – what to sell [...]
