2 Coaching Concepts
1.
Be the type of client you want to attract.
Self-assess: Are you the type of person who:
• Shows up late.
• Doesn’t take accountability.
• Procrastinates from taking action.
• Blames, complains, or plays the victim.
or, are you the type of person who:
• Is punctual.
• Owns your decisions.
• Takes (im)perfect action.
Here’s a challenging question I’ll leave you with:
Are you casting blame onto others for their behaviours but falling into the same trap yourself?

ii) Strength Training for Fat loss – Nick Tumminello
How to use the 3 Cs of metabolic strength training—circuits, combinations, and complexes to build great programs.
iii) Linchpin – Seth Godin
How to stand out and make a difference.

3 sentences for people who work in fitness that’ll make you more than a 4 year business degree
i) There’s no such thing as too high a price, only too little value.
ii) Find a way to make boring, yet effective, fitness fun.
iii) Connect the benefit (feeling great in a dress) to the quantitative measurement (losing 3 inches).
1 Quote to Consider
“90% of people never have a plan whenever they walk into the gym.
Also, 90% of people never reach their goals in the gym.
This is not a coincidence.”
