Dear Fellow Trainer:

I just want to let you know that I have stood where you are standing now. I understand the pain and frustration that comes along with a career in fitness. I have raced out the door at 4am only to return at 7pm.

I have lost meaningful relationships because I was so busy with work that I didnt even see them disintegrating. I am here to tell you that you were not designed to operate like this. Why have so many of us fallen into these pits and chasms of the fitness industry?

It is because we have a fear that we must act now. The opportunity may pass and leave us standing there empty handed.

The truth is actually 100% the opposite. We create our opportunities based on what we believe we are capable of.

The bottom line is attitude. If I believe I can make 6 figures in the fitness industry without working a 14 hour day, then I will seek out and only set my intention on doors that will open in that direction.

I will ignore doors that keep me busy or keep me working late because I know they will actually lead me away from those real opportunities that I desire.

I started my career as an ex Coast Guard boat captain. I came to Charleston with a PSU college degree, a backpack and an old truck. I had my intentions set on owning my own busines and being a successful fitness trainer.

I read all the books. I went to all the seminars. I went to all the best schools. I did all this and I still was not satisfied. Yes my pockets were full of cash and I mean lots But it was still just toil and work at the end of the day.

Yes I was extremely successful. Yes I was very popular. Yes I was changing lives!

This actually just made real success more difficult. Is success when your phone is ringing off the hook and there are people offering you 2 times your salary to come in on a Saturday to train them?

You think this is success?

Its not!

It is a giant pit and once you fall into that pit you have just built yourself a prison with walls. Your life will be dictated by the demands placed upon you and the constant lingering fear that soon everything will collapse around you, if you start to disappoint anyone.

I tried to make everyone happy. I tried to juggle relationships and of course met with absolute failure.

My excited enthusiasm about changing lives and rocking worlds was fading fast and being replaced by a general lack of empathy and even at times a feeling of resentment toward my own clients.

I resented them because they had the freedom in their lives to hire a trainer and enjoy their fitness time every day. I was struggling just to stay in shape

Why??

What was I doing wrong?

This recipe was perfect. It was the perfect recipe for DISASTER. I was on a train headed right toward burnout and I needed to get off it fast before I crashed.

This is not the part where I tell you that I have all the answers.

Let me tell you what nobody else will. Its not easy to break free. Its not a simple change of mindset and the world starts to hand you what you want. There is no magic formula for success.

Its all a bunch of hype.

To break free takes a plan. To break free takes massive deliberate focused action. Breaking free takes time. It takes hours of foundational work.

Life was not designed to be easy. It was designed to have purpose.

I believe that everyone we meet was designed for a purpose. It is where they have natural talent. It is where others see them shine daily.

Here is your magic key…

Know your purpose!

Know what you want and visualize your path. Every day commit to taking at least one step closer to your dream. Do it even if you don’t want to.

Do it even if you doubt it will ever work. If it lines up with your dream, take the step.

Pretty soon you will look back and say Wow I have really made some progress and the road ahead is paved with more opportunity and more opening doors”.

My pupose is to help other people reach their dreams. I did it in personal training and now im doing it on a global scale. I create success products for struggling entrepreneurs.

I have been in the trenches so I know what tools you need to dig your way out.

These are the same exact tools I used to climb out of the hole.

Every two weeks I will be posting my No B.S. Trainer success newsletter which is filled with little nuggets of information you can use to explode your opportunities in fitness.
