Doing It Right

Holly and I spent the weekend at her Alma
Mater, Indiana University hanging out, tailgating,
watching football and basically staying away from
work.

During our visit to IU we spent some time with
PTU and Bootcamp Blueprint members Ryan
Ketchum and Wil Fleming.

Ryan and Wil were both All-American athletes
at IU - so I guess we were visiting with celebrities ;)

We've been talking a lot about blueprints in the
past couple of weeks and I've gotta tell you - these
two guys have pretty much laid out a blueprint for
how to build a great business in a hurry.

Instead of sitting around talking about wanting to
make things happen, Ryan and Will have been
getting things done.

Two weeks ago they both drove to Louisville for
our little PTU get together.

Last week they both came to Chicago to the PTU
Event at Club Industry. When they found out that
We were having dinner at the hotel we were staying
at - they got a room to stay and learn more.

They're on PTU daily.

They saw what was going on with the whole 'Pumpkin
Workout' craze for publicity and put it into action with
a twist. They held a Pumpkin Bootcamp Saturday
morning where Ryan dressed up as Richard Simmons
and Wil dressed up as Tony Little.

The press release for this landed them on the front page
of the paper.

They got over 20 people at camp and turned 7 into
clients on the spot.

These guys are in their mid-20's and are getting ready
to open a state of the art facility.

After seeing how hard they work to learn - and then
immediately apply what they pick up - I have no
doubt they're facility will be a huge success.

Pretty simple formula:

1. Go to live events, study PTU & products, join
relevant coaching programs.

2. Apply what you learn doing everything from
building a powerful network and generating
publicity to leveraging your time with group training
and selling EFT based programs.

3. Be willing to pay the price early on by working
hard to get everything in place and build a real
business instead of just paying the bills.

Cliff notes version:

Learn it.

Do it.

These guys are a great example how truly
motivated fitness pros can build a thriving business.

If you're not taking action on what you're learning
in this newsletter and on PTU - make this the week
you change that. There is no reason you can't be
making your goals a reality just like Ryan and Wil are.

Dedicated to your success,

Pat
