Does The Prosperity Statement Above Represent Your Present Condition?

"Sure, sure, I love what I do," is sure to be the reflex response from many personal trainers who briefly consider the statement, but if you really want to connect with a thrilling outcome, take a closer look at the statement and the state of being it represents.

If you are already living it, I applaud you.

If you aren't, I invite you.

Here's what I know. Most trainers are not living in line with their wants and dreams, and most have difficulty readily admitting it.

Based on a recent survey of 150 personal trainers: 85% had less than $5,000 in savings with credit card debt exceeding bank balances.

I can share other statistics from the survey, but suffice it to say, they are not representative of an industry considered "professional." I don't fault the trainers, but I do think the level of acceptance and the absence of an all out revolt speak volumes. While the knee-jerk says, "I'm doing just fine," personal training confidence is more tied to physique and physical performance than any hint of professional security.

I teach trainers to seek out a wealth condition where they earn as they deserve and they have the equivalent of two years earnings in savings. That isn't enough to ensure lifelong prosperity, but it's an important milestone that doctors, lawyers, financial professionals, and professional athletes would find realistic. If you want to carefully examine the statement that helps me to keep my sights set on prosperity, and if you want to allow honesty to roll around in your head before allowing any sort of knee-jerk reflex, you might find a very genuine desire to experience the quantum leap you're capable of.

I don't know how to "get rich quick," nor do I pretend to have "incredible marketing secrets to drive thousands to your doorstep." I do, however, have a fail-proof strategy for teaching any competent personal fitness trainer to deliver extreme value, to tap into unutilized power, to influence others with a force rarely recognized, and to find reward that allows growth to seep into personal, financial, and emotional areas as a sense of effortlessness emerges. I teach personal trainers to prosper and I want to share this strategy with you if you really have desire, integrity, and the willingness to challenge yourself, to challenge convention, and to measure your own true potential. I want you to know prosperity first hand, and I want you to find peace of mind that comes not with contentment, but with a never-quelled sense of ongoing adventure. These personal wants were motivators for me, motivators that drove me to create Be Better.

The best I can do here is provide my personal insights as to the intention and existence of the Prosperity Statement and hope you examine your present condition and determine whether it's where you hoped you'd be. Even more importantly, consider the path you're on and consider whether it's leading to the destination you presently want for.

Here's my take on the Prosperity Statement . . .

_I Love What I Do

This goes deeper than, "I have a passion for fitness."

I distance myself from clients or affiliations that I do not absolutely love. I own my time so while every day is enjoyable, select days are blissful. I look forward to every client interaction and the tasks and obligations that I do not love are now handled by people who I appreciate immensely. Although I always had a passion for fitness, I'll admit that financial struggle, difficult clients, unreliable alliances, and burdensome commitments limited the joy I experienced.

Do you really love what you do?

You Can . . . and You Should!

_I Receive Far More Than I Give

This part of the statement has spiritual, material, and emotional meaning.

Personal Trainers, by nature, are givers, and I've come to understand why "earning as we deserve" is challenging early on. The "feel good" without a thrilling financial return leaves us questioning our worth and our potential. We hate asking for money, we hate financial negotiation, and we are outsold by any salesperson whether or not that person has something credible to sell. Today, by appreciating the value of the service I deliver, and by learning to prosper ONLY by bettering someone else's life in the process, I've found a spiritual, emotional, and financial return that far exceeds anything I'd previously imagined.

You deserve the same.

_Every Client Thanks Me With Sincerity

This is perhaps the most inspirational part of the complete statement.

With the heart of a personal trainer, I sought out a career I thoroughly enjoy, and nothing feels better than the expression of gratitude from a client. I realized if I build my business with that anticipated reward as a measure of the value I deliver, I receive emotional joy and reinforcement consistently. With the mantra "treat every client as the most important person in the world" ingrained into my skull, I began to study influence, to understand how I could take responsibility for client adherence and outcome. When emails, phone calls, and letters are filled with "thank you, you changed my life," a sense of genuine purpose and significance grows out of the desire to help others. You should cultivate and enjoy that sense of purpose and significance every day.

_My Personal Training Business is the Fail-Proof Source of my Prosperity

This is the part of the statement that fills me with pride.

It took a long time to grasp that there is a separation between who I am and what I do. In order to love what I do, it has to contribute to the betterment of who I am, and when the two are indistinguishably linked, stress leaks both ways. Only by learning to view my business as the entity that brings thrill and reward into my life was I able to reap the rewards and experience family, vacation, personal growth, and adventure in a manner that is purely the enjoyment of "who I am."

Now . . . I want to invite 200 personal trainers . . . only 200 . . . to share the experience, to know their true potential, to walk through the Be Better doorway, to cross the bridge, and to recognize the joy, reward, and prosperity a personal training career can bring. Our field has become scattered and fragmented, but if you want the true reward, the career longevity, and the ultimate prosperity that can grow out of the noble core of helping others improve through fitness, you'll want to connect with this platform of excellence.

I am a trainer. I began with passion. I have faced financial struggle. I have found solutions. I have found prosperity. Now you have a choice. You can choose the course of convention, the path that leads most personal trainers to mediocrity and acceptance, or you can join me as we move toward an exciting future knowing we can prosper as others thank us for bettering their lives.
