“If you are good
and you display
confidence, you
have a leg up on
most.”
“Train because you love
your body, not because you
hate your body.”
“You are perfect just as you
are, and you could use a little
improvement.” – Shunryu
Suzuki
“Are you in this to help
people or to help your bank?
If it’s the people that pump
you up, the bank will do its
thing. If it’s dollars that drive
you, take another route.”
“The secret to getting
ahead is getting started”
“Courage is resistance to
fear, mastery of fear, not
absence of fear” – Mark
Twain
“Don’t be afraid to
play a different
game on the same
field as your
competition.”
“Contact those who are
better than you and ask
questions. You’ll be
surprised how many will
answer you.”
“Listen to everyone, but believe no one. It’s far
more dangerous to assume people know what
they’re talking about, than it is to assume they don’t
and let them prove you wrong. So, be a good
skeptic and assume people are unaware of their
own ignorance (including yourself) and ask
questions to sort out the difference. Apart from
social media, websites, et cetera, don’t ‘follow’ me.
Don’t ‘follow’ anyone. Follow reason. Follow the
evidence (i.e., the data), and follow it wherever it
leads.”
“Measure your success by
the ability of your clients to
follow through on health
behaviours when you are not
around. Teaching is the
process of making yourself
unnecessary.”
“If you care about this profession,
show it. You have to treat it like a
business, which means staying
organized with scheduling,
marketing, programs, invoicing,
and taking care of yourself along
the way. Take regular vacations,
get hobbies, and make sure you
live a balanced life.”
“It is okay to love what you do and also
make money at it. I’ve encountered many
in the fitness industry who are against
efforts to sell themselves because they do
it to help people, not to make money. Be
excellent and market yourself, and you’ll
make money and you’ll also help more
people than the person who’s just in it to
help people.”
“Talk is cheap and ambition is
easy. Grinding it out and sacrifice
is what sets you down the road
less travelled. Adjust your goals
according to what you are
prepared to put in and never lose
sight of why we all became
trainers in the first place–to help
people!”
“The importance of the
quality of the program that
you design pales in
comparison to your ability to
make your client want to do
that program. ”
“It all starts with passion…”
