5-Reps: Growing ideas, long-term travel, and National Personal Trainer Day

Here’s what’s new this week.

Obvious Choice Podcast Episodes:

2 Fitness Tips

1.

People become personal trainers after years of mental and physical self-discovery (in addition to study).

When you hire a trainer, you aren’t hiring them for the hour.

You’re hiring them for their years of specific knowledge and hard-won expertise.

P.S. It was National Personal Trainer Day last week!

2.

“The source of most unhappiness is an overactive mind and an underactive body.

We generate fears while we sit; we overcome them by action.

Fear is nature’s warning signal to get busy.”

-Dr. Henry C. Link, PhD

2 Business Nuggets

1.

The secret to easy selling is to find somebody already doing what you sell.

People who buy, buy lots. People who don’t, don’t.

2.

It’s better to be ‘famous to the family’ than being famous on the internet.

1 Quote to Consider

Been a crazy week! 1.5 month AirBnB got cancelled last minute, sick baby, and crossed the Costa Rica / Nicaraguan land border with my family and mother in-law. I haven’t been tested like that in a while. Adventure is a wonderful thing! Mostly though, I’m happy to report that Nicaraguan tacos are . . . FANTASTIC. Hope you’re good.

The Online Trainer Mentorships

My highest level of support helps people scale to $6k, 10k, 20k, and even 50,000 a month.

Specifically, we help trainers, gym owners, and fitness influencers solve 3 big problems:

1) Strategic content. Social media’s pointless if used wrong.

2) Client care. Wining it doesn’t work.

3) A lack of direction.

I don’t have room to explain it all here, but if you want to make 2024 your best year ever and you’re interested in learning more about how we might be able to help you, please apply via the link below:

Below are a few of the 2023 wins from our group. Happy to share more, of course. Just ask on your first application call if somebody like you has already had success in OTM.
