Back in Tennessee

Well, I have been there a few times.  Once just passin' through.  Another time chasing the love of my life before she disappeared forever.  Most recently to send a helping hand out to a fellow trainer.

The last time wasn't really in person.  It was real though.  I met a guy online.  I knew that he was a personal trainer.  It was on his profile.  So, one trainer to another, I asked him how his training business was going.

He sadly replied, "terrible.  I am about to find a second job."  That is rather unfortunate.  Why would you stop helping other people better their lives?

I don't make enough money.  Nobody commits.  The economy is dead.  This, that, and the next excuse.  I felt a deep connection with him.  For you see, it wasn't always this easy for me either.

I think we have all financially struggled at one point in time or another.  We have all gone through a lot of road blocks, challenges, obstacles, and so forth.

I spent hours online with him coaching him on things that he could do to improve his business.  He felt that he could be financially successful.  He knew that he could grow his business.  He saw the opportunity to bring back old clients.  He was ready to meet new ones.  He could not wait to get back on track with where he belonged, doing what he was called to do.

I used to try to help everybody.  I tried to be this nice guy that would go the extra mile and give you the coat off my back.  Take the socks and shoes too.  I have decided to only help those that want to help themselves.

I used to do my brother's homework for him.  I couldn't stand teaching him how to do it himself.  It was easier just to zip through the math problems myself or tell him the answers.

So, he would ace the homework and fail the tests.  Epic Fail.

Now with the lucrative business that I run, I cannot manage everything that everybody does 24/7.  I am here to empower you to stop making the same mistakes that you used to make.  I want you to learn from my experiences.

I do not know it all.  However, I know enough with my formal education, real world training, and sports involvement to help most people.  I make mistakes and I want you to know that I am delivering the best results and experience that I can.

However, I am not the solution, only part of it.  A few hours each week with me is not enough to make a difference.  There are so many other things that you need to do.  You need to take massive action.  Change habits that were once holding you back.  This could be your form with exercises.  Maybe it is your eating habits.

We will figure out what works best for you.  Once we figure it out, you need to follow through with your part.  I gave that trainer a lot of great advice.  He followed through.  It is not easy or comfortable.  Nothing worth having is ever going to be easy.

I wish you all the best of luck.  Follow through with your goals this New Year.  Train Hard.
