30 Min Reminder: Get Venture Capital for Your Business

2010-08-30T14:02:00.000-07:00

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here

Dear Adsdsf

Our free event starts in 30min, I hope you can join.

"Get Venture Capital for Your Business"
Date: Monday August 30
Time: 3 PM PST / 6 PM EST
Call in Number: (347) 884-8982

URL for entrepreneurs:
http://businesscatapult.com/refcode/pg6184

Url for investor/advisors:
http://businesscatapult.com/og/subscribe/6184

Even if you are not sure, I encourage anyone with interest to dial in using the phone number above. You can also listen and interact asking questions through the internet at:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/jorge-olson/2010/08/30/get-venture-capital-for-
your-business

Here is some additional about the call including info including bio's of the participants.

Kevin Johansen
Kevin is the chair of the Angel Capital Summit.

"Call me a social capitalist. I put a lot of energy into insuring the health
of the communities I belong to, because if they're not in good shape it's
harder on all of us. What this translates into is that I work every day to
improve the business ecology, and I'd like to think that I'm talented enough
and well enough connected to make a difference. So if you're a 'Keystone'
provider of infrastructure, or have a new product or service that you think
creates new and sustainable efficiencies for a market, I'd love to talk to
you."

Kevin's a serial, successful entrepreneur and investor, and as such he takes
this 'social capital' thing VERY seriously. As he says: "It's the network,
stupid." He was born into a great one, but not one full of capital or
entrepreneurial expertise - so he had to build one that worked to support
his needs for both. The result is the BusinessCatapult.com, a social
networking platform for entrepreneurs, investors and advisors that works for
ALL of us. Though still in beta, the BC is also the platform that the Angel
Capital Summit is run on, and the ACS is the largest angel investor fair in
the U.S. Bottom line is that it works, that it will work better as the BC
continues to wrap new services into it - and that as a social networking
platform it works better still with more people using it.

Summary: If you're looking to build a better business faster,
you'll want to be up on the BC. If you're looking for capital to do so,
you'll want to apply to present at the ACS.

Come hear Kevin tell the story of the BC and the ACS and become part of that story yourself.

Les Makepeace
Les is the Executive Committee Chairman of the Angel Capital Summit 2010

Mr. Makepeace is a twenty year Navy veteran, spending the first half as a
carrier pilot and warfare specialist, and the last half designing, building,
testing and deploying the advanced hardware and software solutions demanded by increasingly technology dependent customers.

In industry, Les has provided strategic consulting to the federal
government, Fortune 500 multi-national businesses, growing middle market
companies, and start ups. Entrepreneurial at heart, the common thread is how best to position the enterprise to take advantage of where the market is
headed in a cost constrained environment. Although primarily focused on businesses with technology and manufacturing components, companies with the ability to create strategic differentiation in future markets are who Les most enjoys working with. Les' clients include companies with branded B to C offerings aimed specifically at exploiting market trends.

Les is a Director of the Colorado Nanotechnology Alliance, and Adjunct
Faculty at the University of Denver, Daniels College of Business,
specializing in entrepreneurship, leadership, and strategy. Les has a
Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics from the University of Maine, a Master of
Science in Mathematics and a Master of Science in Astronautics from the
Naval Postgraduate School, and his Master of Business Administration from
the Daniels College of Business, University of Denver.

I hope you all can make the call,
Jorge Olson

Something for the Weekend

2010-02-26T06:42:00.001-08:00

I visited my parents back in my hometown last week and it brought
back memories.

When I left coaching baseball at the University there and was living
in Portsmouth, Ohio - a few friends suggested me pursuing jobs as
things like a pharmaceutical rep or maybe go into medical equipment
sales.

While I appreciated their help as I was trying to decide what direction
to go moving forward, those suggestions really never peaked my interest.

I didn't want to settle.

I didn't want to look back 30 or 40 years from now thinking I could
have done so much more and wishing I hadn't wasted time doing
something I didn't love.

So I set out on a different path and pursued what I was passionate
about.

It's been about 8 years and I have zero regrets.

I couldn't be more happy with direction my career has taken.

All because I didn't settle.

So do me a favor over the weekend and give some thought to your
dreams and your career.

Could it be more fulfilling?

Could it have more impact?

Could it give you more freedom?

Could it provide more for you and your family?

When you look back 20, 30 or 40 years from now - will you feel like
you settled for less than you were capable of?

My job is to help you have no regrets when it comes to your business
or your career.

But I can't do much until you decide that you're not going to settle.

Will you?

Have a great weekend!

Pat

P.S. - If you've not had time to check out the blog yet this week -
Bill Hartman, Eric Cressey and Mike Robertson have 2 great posts
there for you to read. You can find them here:

Did you check out the post Bill Hartman, Mike Robertson &
Eric Cressey did on assessments over at the blog?

They're back with Part II and they even discuss how assessments
should be used for bootcamps.

Check out their post here:

http://fitbusinessinsider.com/better-or-tired/

And don't forget - if you don't have a copy of their Assess & Correct
product - a must have - I've asked them to pass on any affiliate
commission I'd have received for recommending it as a savings for you.

So if you order before March 3rd and use the coupon code âRIGSBYâ
youâll get $30 off the normal price - so it'll be $97 instead of $127.

3 Lessons From My Current Projects

2010-02-24T01:33:00.001-08:00

I've been spending a lot of time the past few days
working on two big upcoming projects:

Bootcamp Bootcamp 2.0 and The Facility Formula

And I wanted to share with you some of the things
we'll be doing for the people we work with (you) that
you should be doing for your clients...

:: Offering Step-By-Step Success Blueprints - We've
decided that the best way to help the people we work
with is by offerings a literal 'paint by numbers' formula
to follow. Nothing else comes close.

You should do the same. Take the guesswork out of
everything. Tell your clients what to do on their 'off days',
teach them how to eat for results and tell them what
supplements will help them get them most from work with you.

:: Be Innovative - We're rolling out my new Reverse Marketing
Funnel System and my Fitness Business Scorecard System to
make sure the people we work with have an extra edge on
their competition.

Are you staying on top of new and innovative ways to
help your clients get results faster - you should be. Keep
things fresh and keep them excited about what you're
doing.

:: Make It Personal - We try to do as much as we can to
stay personal in our programs with One Day Coaching,
fr.ee access to Bootcamp Bootcamp and one-on-one
coaching calls for Bootcamp Blueprint members and
will offer similar personal access for The Facility Formula.

I personally think it's the most important thing we do.

You should be trying to have more personal contact
with your clients too. Personal calls, meeting for coffee,
a personal note or a few minutes after a session all
can transform someone from client to fan and give you a
lot more insight into what's important to them.

So spend so time looking at what you do and implement
some of those things that we currently do and are
working on for Bootcamp Bootcamp 2.0 and The Facility
Formula - they'll have a powerful impact on your business.

Dedicated to your success -

Pat

P.S. - Did you know we ran a weight management
program that generated over 5K a month like
clockwork and pre-sold at least that much in
supplements for us each month? You can get all the
tools we used at no charge here:

1 Tip For Better Results

2010-02-23T06:10:00.001-08:00

I told you the other day - business is simple:

1. Deliver an extraordinary service.

2. Make sure people know about it.

So here's your tip to make sure that happens:

Great programs start with effective assessments.

If you want to deliver an extraordinary service - the assessment
is where you start.

So I've asked 3 of the best in the business - Bill Hartman, Mike
Robertson & Eric Cressey - to share their thoughts on effective
assessments over at the blog.

Check out their post here:

http://fitbusinessinsider.com/are-you-making-your-clients-better-or-just-making-them-tired/

And if you don't have a copy of their Assess & Correct product
- a must have - I've asked them to pass on any affiliate commission
I'd have received for recommending it as a savings for you.

So if you order before March 3rd and use the coupon code âRIGSBYâ
youâll get $30 off the normal price - so it'll be $97 instead of $127.

You can learn more about Assess & Correct here:

http://www.AssessandCorrect.com/

Dedicated to your success -

Pat

P.S. - FYI - I'm not passing on the affiliate commission because I'm
ultra-altruistic or anything. I just want you to know that this is
something I believe very strongly in and am happy to help out by
getting you a discount.

And The Winners Are...

2010-02-22T11:19:00.001-08:00

Last week I shared 5 of my favorite business rules or lessons
and asked you to share yours.

We had over 75 quotes, lessons, rules and cliches - and it was
impossible to just choose 3.

So I didn't.

Here are my 6 winners:

Guy Luciani - "Be, Do, Have."

TJ - "Be A Bridge Builder."

James - "Don't keep score."

Rob - "If you stop becoming better, you'll stop being good."

Rob Espisito - "Do your best all the time."

Rick - "You can have everything in life want if you will just

"At 211 degrees water is hot. At 212 degrees water boils. And
boiling water, comes steam. And steam can power a locomotive
train. One extra degree... makes all the difference. And, the one
extra degree of effort in business and life... separates the good
from the great!"

Honestly - I could have chosen 20.

So if you're one of the 6 winners - please email Lee Ann at leeann.fcg@gmail.com

Thanks!

Also - be sure to check out the blog tomorrow as I have Eric Cressey,
Bill Hartman and Mike Robertson doing a roundtable about the
importance of assessments.

Finally - I've been asked a number of times over the past couple of
weeks if we're going to open back up the BCBP soon - so next week
we're going to open up enrollment for a couple of days.

If you want to build a 6 figure camp - get ready.

Dedicated to your success -

I Can Make You Successful In Two Sentences

Do you want to own a great business?

Earn a six (or even seven) figure income?

Here are the only two things you need to know:

1. Do an extraordinary job.
2. Make sure a lot of people know about it.

That's it.

Everything I talk about leads back to those two sentences.

Have a great weekend!

P.S. - Thanks for all the interest in our upcoming programs and projects.
I got a ton of emails yesterday and the feedback was awesome! Based on
the feedback we are going to do the Bootcamp Bootcamp event in early
June rather than May due to B.J.'s awesome Bootcamp Automator event.

Also - our Low Cost Facility Solution will be like nothing anyone has ever
made available before. I got a ton of questions about it -so just be patient
and we'll keep you posted on what I guarantee will be a game changer.

Whatâs Coming Up

2010-02-17T01:32:00.001-08:00

As you know, we just wrapped up the IYCA Summit this past weekend.

An awesome event.

Like all events, I repeatedly got asked about what was coming up next.

Here's what I told people:

:: We'll be launching a private membership area on http://FitBusinessInsider.com
dedicated to helping fitness pros develop multiple streams of income.

:: We're putting the final details together for the 2nd ever Bootcamp Bootcamp
to be held the weekend of May 21st and 22nd (my B-Day is the 23rd - hope
you can make it) here in Louisville. We'll open up registration soon.

Both of those are included in Bootcamp Blueprint memberships by the way.

:: AJ, Nick and I will be opening up a small Mastermind Group for fitness pros
that want to package their offline success and take it online. No proven track
record offline - we can't help you. We've had so many inquiries about this that
we finally decided to open a small group in late March.

There will be no promo for this - invite only. You can email me to be considered,
because I've seen others open groups and the only qualification be the willingness
to cut a check - and that is not how this (or any of our MM groups) works.

:: We will finally start letting our network learn more about the Athletic Revolution
franchise opportunity soon. I'll keep you posted.

:: We will be opening up an area exclusive coaching program for low cost facilities
in the spring. No details yet other than to say if you own a facility or plan to - you
will love it.

Oh - and I took the advice that BCBP members gave in a survey we did and we're
working on more done-for-you resources to make your life easier ;)

I'm getting tired just thinking about it and those are just the business things... not the
stuff we have going on with the IYCA, Workout Muse, Resistance Band Training,
Sports Speed Etc., Kettlebell Athletics or Corporate Fitness (or any of the other
businesses I'll talk more about some other time...)

So there you have it - that's the next few months.

Or at least some of it.

So mark your calendar for May and drop me a line if any of that other stuff sounds
interesting and I'll get you more details.

Dedicated to your success -

Pat

P.S. - http://FitBiz.tv is on Wednesdays. I'll be watching - you should be too.

What would you do?

2010-02-16T06:12:00.001-08:00

Back in my younger days when I was coaching baseball I had
my own unique way of responding to losing.

Some coaches would dwell on losses.

Some coaches would run their teams ragged.

Some coaches would even drown their frustration with a few
(or more) beers.

Usually, I'd recruit.

I remember losing a doubleheader to the only team I genuinely
disliked.

I went back to my office and started making recruiting calls at
about 6pm.

I got done around 1am calling kids on the west coast.

I *hated* losing as much as anyone I've ever met.

Anyone.

So I had no patience to dwell on it.

I wanted to fix it - and there was no faster way to fix it than to
get better players.

I only tell you that because I think that stories are important.

You need to know that if we work together that I don't want to
dwell on problems.

I want to find solutions.

I had an old coach that used to say: "I don't want to hear the
labor pains - I just want to see the baby."

Eloquent... maybe not.

Effective... yep.

So there is just a little insight into me.

Do me a favor and tell me your story here:

http://fitbusinessinsider.com/tell-me-your-story/

If you do, I'm going to send you a copy of Mega Marketing For
Fitness Professionals and The Personal Trainer Business Action Plan
for taking the time to share.

Almost $100 in products for helping me get to know you a little better.

Head over to the blog and tell me your story now:

P.S. - I'll soon be taking all my digital products off the market. No final sale or anything.

I just feel like using these tools differently - kind of like I'm using them here.

A Gift From Me To You, Aff

2010-02-15T05:50:00.001-08:00

We just wrapped up an incredible IYCA Summit this weekend.

Unfortunately, we had about 50 people registered that couldn't
get in due to weather, but that did give me a chance to spend a
bit more time with a lot of the attendees.

And I heard some incredible stories.

How they got in the industry.

What they overcame to achieve success.

What they were motivated to achieve.

So I heard some of their stories.

Now I want to hear yours.

So head on over to the blog and tell me your story:

http://fitbusinessinsider.com/tell-me-your-story/

And because I value your time, if you take the time to share
your story I will be sending you a gift to say thanks.

I look forward to learning more about you!

Dedicated to your success -

Pat

P.S. - We did something new at the IYCA Summit and did a live
broadcast of several of the sessions and made all the special
offers that attendees received available online.

If you're interested in youth training, sports performance, bands
or speed development - those offers will still be up until 9 pm EST
tonight. You can check them out here:

Watch Us Live!

2010-02-12T07:29:00.001-08:00

We're here at the Brown Hotel (I'm sitting at the registration table typing
this) and we've just started the 2nd Annual IYCA Summit.

The one and only Lee Taft is on stage and the audience is captivated.

I'll take the stage talking about the missed opportunities in youth fitness
business at 1pm EST.

We've had people come all the way from the UK.

Others drove all the way to Louisville from New York when their flights
were canceled.

I realize that not everyone could make it so we decided to do the next best
thing - stream some of the presentations live on UStream.

If you want to see my talk at 1pm or any of the other presentations that
we're streaming, you can watch them here:

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/iyca-feb-12

Our speakers also decided to do something pretty cool and make all their
special offers available online to the UStream viewers so I'll send that page
out to you tomorrow.

Have a great weekend and be sure to check out the 'show.'

It's a Team Effort

2010-02-11T01:32:00.001-08:00

I just read the latest issue of PFP magazine and in this issue I saw:

:: A great article on Kettlebell Training from Pam MacElree

:: A great column on taking care of your business (and yourself)
from Greg Justice

:: A product profile on Workout Muse - brainchild of B.J. Gaddour

:: An article on youth fitness from Brian Grasso and myself

Pretty cool considering all of these people are members of our initial
Mastermind Group.

I'll guarantee you that this is not a coincidence.

We all work diligently to help each other move to the next level.

The success of that first group led us to start a second group.

They're killing it too.

So before long we'll be adding two smaller niche specific groups to
help other fitness pros harness the power of a team.

I can't say if any of our groups are a great fit for you personally as
they are significant investments and a couple of them are going to
be very targeted on certain areas - but you need to be part of some
group.

That's for certain.

Masterminding is too powerful a tool to miss out on.

You're welcome to drop me a line if you want to regarding ours - or
you can find a few like minded fitness entrepreneurs and set up your
own.

It will be one of the most impactful things you can do - guaranteed.

Dedicated to your success -

Pat

A Lesson From The Bahamas

2010-02-09T13:25:00.001-08:00

If youâve ever been to the Bahamas you've undoubtedly noticed
how aggressive they are when it comes to selling.

From the guys outside of restaurants doing everything they could
to get us to come in and dine there to the folks on the beach selling
everything from cigars to souvenirs - they all aggressively ask for
the sale.

Again and again.

They made offers, shared all the benefits they could dream up,
discounted - anything they could do to get a sale.

My guess is that over the course of the day they generate their
share of customers.

While I don't advocate you mimicking their approach (it's a bit
extreme) - I do think that you're missing out on a lot of mon.ey
if you don't recognize that nothing begins until you sell something.

You can't help someone achieve their goals until they become
a client.

Every time you meet with someone that you feel like you can
help - step up and ask for the sale.

Building rapport, displaying value, overcoming potential
objections - all good stuff.

But you have to ask for the sale.

Be committed to asking at least 3 people per week for a sale and
watch how quickly your business grows.

Dedicated to your success -

Pat

P.S. - The reason most people don't ask for the sale is *fear* of
rejection. Ignore it. I bet I turned down 30 offers in the Bahamas
in 4 days and I'll guarantee not one of those folks lost one minute
of sleep over it.

P.P.S. - You leave a comment over at the blog telling me your
opinion on my post yet?

Back in the Saddle

2010-02-05T10:01:00.000-08:00

OK - I'm back in Louisville prepping for next week's IYCA Summit.

As much as I loved the Bahamas - being back is fine since I get to
see so many of my fitness friends next week.

Aside from getting ready for the Summit, I'm writing my follow up to
my "What's Wrong With The Fitness Industry?" post that so many of
you commented on over at www.FitBusinessInsider.com .

In the mean tim, if you haven'' checked out my buddy Curtis Mock's
TV show, he's got another great episode up at:

http://www.fitbiz.tv

Curtis is a member of our Mastermind Group and one of the sharpest
guys in the industry - his show is must see.

Hes pretty darn entertaining too ;)

Also - if you haven't enrolled in Bootcamp Automator, the doors close
Monday - so don't miss out:

http://www.BootcampAutomator.com/

Finally - after spending a week with some really successful fitness pros
in the Bahamas and seeing how well they do integrating Prograde into
their business, I'm more convinced than ever that you are missing the
boat if you're not doing the same.

In the coming weeks I'll teach you step-by-step how to boost your
revenue doing just that.

Have a great weekend!

Pat

P.S. - I'll probably email you tomorrow with the new blog post so stay tuned!

Is It Just You?

2010-02-04T02:02:00.001-08:00

Today I'm getting back from the Bahamas.

Been gone since early Monday.

But you know what? The show has gone on
just fine without me.

Our health club has kept selling plenty of
memberships.

Our various other businesses have all been making
mo.ney, serving clients or members and moving
forward on projects.

Four days away and not a dip in income.

Let me tell you - it's not always been that way.

A few years back there was no way Nick and I could
leave at the same time and our bank account not
take a serious hit.

But we added team members and gave them the
systems and tools to keep things moving forward.

If you want to be able to do the same, check out
what B.J.'s put together with Bootcamp Automator.

http://www.BootcampAutomator.com/

It's the world's first system that will allow you to
delegate your camps without compromising their
quality.

Whether you want to just be able to take a day off
here and there without watching your camps fall
apart or you want to bring on other trainers to run
more locations or times - Bootcamp Automator is
your solution.

The Key To More Clients (Finally)

2010-02-02T03:02:00.001-08:00

If you want to get more clients each of these work:

:: Networking

:: Public Speaking

:: Direct mail

:: Pay Per Click Ads

:: Craigslist

I could go on and on with marketing strategies that will bring you in
more business.

But nothing beats having a remarkable service that inspires referrals.

I've shared my love for Disney World a few times - and that's part of
their plan.

They deliver a great experience and in turn they create ambassadors
for their business.

You should do the same.

What You Need, Aff

2010-01-29T01:32:00.001-08:00

In my mind you need a few things to be successful as a fitness professional
in the long-term.

You might make a quick buck without some of these - but for lasting
success, you need them all:

1. A passion for fitness and helping people.
2. The ability to consistently deliver results.
3. A thirst for knowledge and a willingness to continually learn.
4. A systematic approach to business - not necessarily an operations
manual, but at least best practices that you use. No flying by the seat
of the pants.
5. Multiple streams of revenue. Never put all your eggs in one basket.

Anyone telling you that you can build lasting success with less that that
is lying or not smart enough for you to bother listening to.

Notice I didn't say a niche market, a group training based model or fancy
marketing?

They all help - often help a LOT. I talk about all of them regularly, but
they aren't the foundation.

These are.

I wrote up a blog post detailing Number 5 here:

http://fitbusinessinsider.com/do-you-have-at-least-5-of-these/

Enjoy the post and be sure to tell me what you think over at the blog.

that's worth the investment by itself ;)

Are You Doing Enough?

2010-01-28T01:32:00.001-08:00

I'm not sure I can convey what I want in an email - this might
have been better suited for a blog post, but I'll give it a shot.

If you want to enact change in people you need to be willing to
go the extra mile.

I'd bet 99% of personal trainers don't do enough to enact real
change in people.

They deliver workouts - like a barber delivers a haircut.

If you want to bring about real change you have to do more.

You have to build relationships with clients.

You have to educate them.

You have to empower them for the 23 hours a day they're not
with you.

To help your clients change you have to be relentless.

Hit (not literally) them from all angles.

You've got to make sure they 'get it.'

After working at a University for the better part of a decade, I can
tell you that plenty of professors 'talk at' their students, not really
caring what the students learn.

Mostly happy to hear their own voices.

However the great ones - the ones that change students lives - are
the ones that focus on what the students learn.

You should be the same way.

The ability to get someone tired... anyone can do that.

Even the worst of trainers can wear people out.

Are you getting people better?

That's the question.

Before I wrap up - you may wonder what this has to do with business.

In a word: Everything.

Dedicated to your success -

Pat

P.S. - In case you wondered, that's why the IYCA created the new
Youth Nutrition Specialist Certification.

Young athletes won't reach their potential without that piece to the
puzzle, so as trainers and coaches we have to lead them.

So you want to grow

2010-01-27T09:07:00.000-08:00

Every day I get questions from fitness professionals asking about how
they can grow their business and not be the only one 'doing it all.'

If you're trying to expand and add another trainer - or several, here are
a few tips:

1. Develop your 'system.' No system means no ability to expand.

2. Create and quantify your culture. What's yours? For a good fitness
business, these components come to mind:

- High Energy
- Non-Intimidating Atmosphere
- Very Motivational
- Family-like Community
- Client or Service Driven - everything is about them

3. Hire to deliver your system and uphold your culture.

4. Train your staff until they're delivering it the way you want - then
keep training them to keep them sharp.

5. Identify expectations and set goals. If there are no standards, you
can't measure performance.

That's a start but if you want more about how to 'replicate yourself',
head over to the Workout Muse blog. BJ will be doing a webinar on
automating bootcamps next Tuesday and he's taking questions.

In fact, if you post a question you'll have a chance to win a year fr.e.e
of the new Bootcamp Automator program.

Click here and post your question

Dedicated to your success -

Pat

P.S. - You may think you'll never want to hire another trainer... maybe,
but you still want to use systems to run your business. It will give you
more profits and fewer headaches. Not a bad combination ;)

So Much For Planning

2010-01-26T07:22:00.001-08:00

I've always been a 'list maker.'

I've used the same Franklin planner since 1994 -
though I've now added Google Calendar to the mix too.

Needless to say - I love planning ahead.

But something I've come to learn over the past couple of
years is that things change so quickly that if you aren't
constantly learning and adapting - the best laid plan won't work.

Just a few years ago our big plan was to own a dozen health
clubs in our region.

Now, instead we have over a dozen businesses that serve
people all over the globe.

Plans we've made for each of our businesses have changed
frequently - sometimes on a quarterly basis - always adapting
to new things we've learned or sometimes new technologies
that allow us to have more impact.

For your business it's the same.

You've got to be willing to adapt.

If one means of generating leads isn't working, find another.

If your market isn't responding to what you're doing - change.

You've heard it many times before, but that doesn't make
it any less true:

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting
different results."

Determine what your mission is - then take action to achieve it.

Fail fast and move on.

Having a plan is a good start. Being willing to change the plan will
give you a better finish.

Dedicated to your success -

Pat

Are You A Real Coach?

2010-01-22T01:33:00.000-08:00

I'm sitting in a hotel here in Columbus. Ohio recovering after
a minor panic attack after fearing that my phone died.

It's ok and my heart rate is now back close to normal.

I'm here because tomorrow my High School Baseball Coach
gets inducted into the Ohio High School Hall of Fame.

It's been 20 years since I graduated high school
(yes, that hurtsto say.)

But I still thought it was important enough to be here.

When I got into coaching, I wanted to really impact people's lives.

I certainly didn't give a s&*t about SEO, PPC and all that other
crap you hear *marketers* talk about.

I wanted to make people better.

I'm here because one of my coaches made me better and I want to
say thanks.

And as a side note - last night, I got to visit with one of my former
players that was in Louisville.

Tonight I got to spend some more time with another former player
that is speaking at the clinic here.

They're both doing great and hopefully I got to play a tiny part in
their success.

Because that's what coaches do.

So do me a favor - don't ever call me an internet marketer - or a
marketer at all.

Honestly, those titles kinda make my skin crawl.

I always have been a coach and always plan to be. If I use the internet
or the phone or whatever comes down the line to help more people so
be it - but I've always thought of myself as a coach and today was just
one more reminder of that.

Hopefully you feel the same way, because the world needs more
marketers and internet marketers like it need more lawyers.

But it needs a bunch more successful coaches.

One Key Tip

2010-01-20T11:23:00.001-08:00

I spend the weekend in Tampa at Joel Marion's
Transformation Domination event where Holly was
speaking.

It was a ton of fun getting to hang out with Jayson
Hunter, Scott Colby, Eric Cressey, Zach Even-Esh,
Craig Ballantyne, Rocco, Tom Terwilliger, Shawn Phillips
and a host of others.

For me it was mostly about visiting with friends and
being around to support Holly - but she gave a
great presentation Time & Energy Management and
I wanted to share the biggest lesson I got from it.

"Be In The Moment"

If you want to be a better trainer or coach - if you want
to grow your business - I can't give you any simpler or
more effective advice than that.

If you want to be better at networking - pour yourself into
the conversation you're in rather than scanning the room
looking for the next person to talk to.

If you want to be a better coach - give your undivided attention
to your clients or athletes when they're with you.

If you want to be a better business person - dedicate some time
each week to growing your business and spend that time doing
just that instead of checking email, surfing the internet and
doing a dozen other things that pull you away from your focus.

Commit yourself to giving your undivided attention and your best
effort to each task and you'll soon find that you won't need to do
a million different things to be successful.

You'll be doing a few things - but you'll do them incredibly well.

Dedicated to your success -

Pat

P.S. - Speaking of doing things well - if you want to run camps or
group training really well, you need to see this:

If you want to run a successful business, you have to
know your numbers.

At minimum you need to know:

:: Your number of leads per month
:: Your 'show' rate - the% of leads that actually come in
:: Your closing %
:: Your average deal / program size

There are plenty of other numbers you *should* know:

:: Your avg lifetime client value
:: Your avg monthly client value
:: Your cost per lead and a few others..

But let's start with the first group.

If you know the numbers and are brave enough to be
accountable - send them over.

I'd love to see and give some feedback.

Dedicated to your success -

P.S. - I'll be in Tampa watching Holly talk at Joel

Its a bunch of s&*t

2010-01-12T01:31:00.001-08:00

What am I talking about?

The fallacy that you need to be an internet guru or
have some fancy image or brand to become a success.

We built a 30K per month training business before we
ever had a website.

Didn't need a single PPC or Craigslist ad to get over 400
clients.

You want clients - get off you're a&$ and go network,
do public speaking, form some JV's and get your hands
dirty.

Save the fancy pants website, PPC and Craigslist 'till after
you've done that.

You want to develop a brand or an image - start by doing
the work.

If you want to be an expert at serving a specific niche - actually
serve it -and serve it well.

Don't just tell someone you're the expert and build a house
of cards around it.

Am I saying that you don't need a website or you shouldn't
invest time into creating a brand for your business - heck no.

What I *am* saying is that thinking this is the magic solution
that will take you from 20K per yr to 200K is a pipe dream.

Lay the foundation by doing the work - all that stuff most
people are too lazy or impatient to do - then once you've
built the foundation, use these tools to take you to the next
level.

But as my dad used to say - don't get the cart in front of
the horse.

Dedicated to your success -

Pat

P.S. - You want to talk about a guy that does the work - my
friend and biz partner BJ Gaddour.

He's built great camps & corporate camps, helped build the
BCBP and been the driving force behind the incredible growth
of Workout Muse.

bootcamp event ever - Workout Worldwide. Now he's got
some cool gifts for you:

Aff, How would you like to test drive a Lamborghini Diablo

2010-01-09T11:50:00.001-08:00

Hi Aff,

If you ever wanted to test drive a
Lamborghini Diablo, here's your chance
to ride something just as powerful.

You'd know what I'm talking about if
you've ever experienced the heart-pounding,
mind-blowing, neck-tingling power
of profiting from someone else doing
all the work for you.

It's too bad if you don't.

I have a team of professionals that
do all the market research, all
the product development, all
the website designs, all the
autoresponder messages and even
writes the sales letter for me....
EVERY... SINGLE... MONTH.

==> http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CB443&m=1b1NlNrg.6ltGP&b=4kbmNFjKPN5m0CUQ3tfYBg

Do you have a team doing this for you?

Are you sitting back and relaxing
while someone else does all the work?

No? Okay, probably not. Guess what
though, I've saved you a spot:

==> http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CB443&m=1b1NlNrg.6ltGP&b=4kbmNFjKPN5m0CUQ3tfYBg

You can give it a test drive for 30 days

I know it's not a REAL Lamborghini Diablo,
but you'll see that test driving this will
give you the thrill of your life. Don't
miss the opportunity of a life time. You wait
too long and this baby is gone!

Success is YOURS!

P.S. - Did I mention that you can get in risk
free for 30 days? What are you waiting for,
act fast because Craig warned me that he will
be taking down this trial period soon.

Do You Have The Recipe?

2010-01-07T01:32:00.001-08:00

Yesterday I had lunch with Joe Kenn. If you don't know Joe, among
other things he's won the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning
Professional of the Year - kinda like the Heisman for S&C coaches.

Well, our discussion touched everything from training to business
because Joe knows the recipe.

To achieve success, you gotta have the total package.

If you're in business for yourself - you must be a great trainer
or coach *and* you need to know business.

It can't be one or the other.

You need both.

Joe has spent most of his time becoming a great coach.

He's helped develop some of the best players in the NFL.

Now he's studying the business side of things.

He's talking to guys like me and Dave Tate.

He's researching what works online and offline.

Because he knows what it takes to be successful.

You need the total package

So do yourself a favor: take a long look in the mirror
and decide what area(s) that you feel like are holding
you back from reaching your goals.

Then send me an email and tell me what you're going
to do about it.

2010 - The year of accountability ;)

Dedicated to your success -

Pat

P.S. - If you're unsure of what to do - I'm happy to
offer suggestions based on what area(s) you feel like
need work. But you gotta ask ;)

Dying a slow death

2009-12-22T10:50:00.000-08:00

Over the weekend Tyler, Holly and I went to my
hometown of Portsmouth, Ohio.

Portsmouth is an interesting place. Back in the
1920's and 30's it was a thriving industrial town.

There was even an NFL team that eventually
moved to Detroit and became the Lions.

At one point Portsmouth had about 70,000 people.

Today there are 20,000.

Just as in everything, things changed.

The industries that fueled the town's growth
started to die off.

Many of the good jobs were no longer available.

And the city didn't adapt.

See, a few people in the town had generated
significant wealth and stonewalled any new business
from coming into Portsmouth.

They were rich and had no interest in new competition.

While that might have worked out ok for the successful
few – a city is dying a slow death because of it.

So many businesses succumb to that same fate.

They get married to one way of doing things and when
that way stops working as well as it once did – they
aren't willing to adapt.

And everyone else passes them by.

Things change and you're either growing or dying.

Which do you choose?

Dedicated to your success –

Pat

P.S. – There are 2 great resources that I recently picked
up and I suggest that you do to in order to help you
make the most of the January rush:

Coach Dos' new book – great stuff to improve your
group training:

And Assess & Correct by Bill Hartman, Mike Robertson
and Eric Cressey:

I actually have that in my DVD player right now and it's
a must have to maximize your clients' results.

Do you believe?

2009-12-17T10:25:00.001-08:00

With Christmas right around the corner, all
of us with young children around the house
get to enjoy the magic of belief that kids have.

Kids believe until you convince them otherwise.

I think they're smarter than most of us.

Over the past week I've had a Mastermind group
and a group of Bootcamp Blueprint members in
town.

If I were to identify the 2 things that separate the
most successful from the least (and most of the
guests are among the most successful in the
industry), it's action – which I talk about all the time,
and belief.

The successful people spend their time figuring
out why and how things *will* work while the
others complain why they won't.

Which group do you fall into?

One attendee came all the way from the UK and
he did a couple of things that most people would
never think of doing – or at least never have the
guts to actually go through with:

- He got a few of his clients to pre-pay for
two years' worth of training to fund the
start up of his new facility.

No partners, no bank loans, no investors
to pay back.

- He basically raffled off a year of training to
his clients. They each bought a chance to
win one 'fr.ee' year of training. He made
about 2x as much (pre-paid) for the year
of training than if he'd have just sold a
year package.

Sure – he's an ultra bright guy to think these up, but
more importantly – he didn't waste any time coming
up with reasons not to try these ideas out.

I know there are a few things that you've thought
about trying.

Just do it.

Believe in yourself and make things happen.

You'll be glad you did.

Dedicated to your success –

Pat

P.S. – We're going to accept 5 more people into
Bootcamp Blueprint leading up to 2010. If you want
to be considered, reply to this email…but act fast.

These 5 spots won't last.

A Lesson From Disney

2009-12-15T04:25:00.000-08:00

Holly, Tyler and I are heading off to Disney World
the day after Christmas for a brief vacation to cap
off a wonderful 2009 and 'relax' a bit before 2010.

Well imagine my surprise when I received an email
from Disney today saying that our resort accommodations
had been upgraded at no charge.

I called to follow up. It was true. We'd been upgraded at
no additional cost.

I decided to see what the difference was between the
vacation package we'd booked and the one we'd been
upgraded to – I checked on their website…

…about $1800.

I already felt pretty strongly about Disney. I've read
about 10 books on their business practices and on
Walt Disney.

As you can imagine, I feel even more strongly now;)

So how can you apply this type of thing to your business?

I'd say that you should simply give a little extra whenever
you can.

I'm sure it doesn't cost Disney $1800 to upgrade us, but
the goodwill it generated will easily payoff with us
continuing to vacation there over all the other options.

So think of ways to can overdeliver.

Give whenever you can.

It certainly has worked out ok for Disney.

Dedicated to your success –

Pat

P.S. - Are you coming? I hope so…

Do you have them?

2009-12-14T10:40:00.001-08:00

At the close of our Mastermind Meeting on Friday
each member identified some goals they are going
to achieve – not hope to achieve – before our next
meeting.

Do you set specific, measurable goals that *must*
be achieved by a defined date?

You should.

One of the goals they all set was to each have 100
new leads for their businesses in January.

I'll keep you posted on how they do, but I can already
tell you now – they'll get there.

100 new leads…what's that worth to a business?

25, 50, 100 grand?

Maybe more.

I strongly suggest you follow their lead and set some
specific goals – and a deadline for achieving them.

There's no better way to achieve success.

What will you do?

2009-12-10T19:13:00.000-08:00

First off – BJ Gaddour just made a great post over
at the blog on what to get your clients for the holidays.

Check it out:

http://patnickandjim.com

Back when I coached at a state university, it was
pretty standard for employees to get a 3% pay
increase yearly.

Keep your job for another year, get a small raise.

While I know some universities have put a freeze
on this yearly standard pay increase lately as their
budgets have been cut – honestly, I always thought
it was kinda dumb.

I guess that's why I was cut out to be an entrepreneur.

Simply doing enough not to get fired merits a raise?

Really?

No wonder so many state and university budgets are
in the red.

If you want a raise – a lot more than 3% - you need to
do some planning and some work, but the sky is the limit.

I expect our businesses to double their revenues in 2010.

That's not a dream – we doubled revenues in 2009.

And 2008.

But it's come with specific goals, specific plans and
the work and education necessary to achieve them.

We couldn't simply show up for another year.

And neither can you.

If you want 2010 to be the year you grow your business
by 25%, 50%, 100% or even 200% - it's completely possible
if you're willing to make it happen.

That may mean stepping out of your comfort zone, investing
more in your education, working on your business more and
doing things differently than you've ever done before…

…but it beats the heck out of settling for 3%.

Dedicated to your success –

Pat

Are you like Jarrod?

2009-12-07T19:03:00.000-08:00

Last Friday one of Nick and my former employees
came by for some sales training.

Jarrod is now one of the top personal training sellers
for a health club chain that has about 40 locations
and sells about 20 mil.lion in training a year.

But he spent his day off investing in sales training.

Basically that was his version of 'working on his
business' so he's better at 'working in his business.'

Are you working on your business?

I know you're working in it.

A few hours working on your business will make you
time working in your business a lot more valuable.

For Jarrod – us working on increasing his closing
percentage a few points or his average deal size
by 10-15% could mean 15-20K per year in additional
income.

Not a bad return for a few hours on a Friday, huh?

Do yourself a favor and spend at least a few hours
a week working on your business so you can reap the
rewards the rest of the time.

Dedicated to your success –

Pat

P.S. – I've considered it for a long time, but spending a few
hours doing sales training with Jarrod finally convinced
me to create a sales resource for trainers in 2010.

I'll keep you posted…

A rule to remember

2009-12-03T07:32:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I was talking with a member of one
of our coaching programs and shared what I felt
was something you should hear too:

You will always be faced with situations that aren't
exactly what you want.

Doesn't matter if it's a business opportunity, a personal
relationship or something else.

Perfect situations rarely arise.

So you're basically left with 3 options:

1. Move on. Not every opportunity, relationship or
situation is a good fit.

2. Bitch about it. The worst option, but what most
people choose.

3. Find a way to derive what you're looking for
from the situation.

If you choose option 3 – my personal favorite, you
have to be willing to adapt a bit – but the long-term
benefits far outweigh the other options.

But let me toss in a quick disclaimer before I go –
number one isn't a bad option either sometimes.

Life's too short to be in situations that you don't like
for too long, and there are far more opportunities
out there than most realize.

I'm not sure if this helped him any or if it helps you…

…but I know it helps me so I thought I'd share.

Dedicated to your success –

Pat

Are You Getting Enough?

2009-12-01T11:40:00.000-08:00

Are you getting enough leads to build the business
you want?

If you want to have a multiple 6 figure business, that
means plenty of clients.

You need 42 bootcampers paying you $199 per month
for 100K per year.

63 for 150K.

84 for 200K.

To get there you have to have a steady flow of leads.

How many leads are you getting each week?

A safe rule of thumb is 4 for every camper or client
you want to have.

If you have 4 leads, conservatively – 2 will show for
a fr.ee trial.

Of those, conservatively, 1 will buy.

You can improve these conversion rates by pre-qualifying,
generating more referrals that are pre-sold and by
becoming a better sales person – but no matter what,
you still need leads to grow your business.

So, in short, if you want more business, you need more
leads. If you're not generating some on almost a daily
basis then you're probably going to fall short of your
business goals.

Dedicated to your success –

Pat

P.S. – If you haven't heard, Prograde has developed a new
IYCA Approved Kids Multi-Vitamin. If you train young

Aff Your Cyber Monday 24 Hour Discount Inside

2009-11-30T09:52:00.000-08:00

Hello Aff,

As you know today it's cyber monday.

Most online retailers are giving great deals to start off the
holiday season and because I had a great thanksgiving (hope you
did too) I decided to do the same thing.

For The Next 24 Hours you can gain access to my profit-pulling
memebrship site for only $1.00

Yes, you may think I'm crazy but it's only $1.00!

What's the catch?

Well technically, this is a "Warriors Special Offer" so you need to
be a member of the warrior forum in order to qualify for this special.

===> http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=CB443&m=1Zl7IJZbKMltGP&b=J3nb.qGEI4wcc8B5Axm0SQ

But that's not all, I even sweetened the deal.

As you probably already know, regular access to my website is
$47.00/month but if you act now within these 24 hours you can

A Clue For You

2009-11-29T21:20:00.000-08:00

Do you realize how many opportunities there are for
you move closer to reaching all your goals?

Clues for success are all around. See what I mean here:

Get ready for a great week!

Pat

P.S. – My man Jim Labadie is letting all of his products
go for 47% off. I bought them all at full price and they'd
have been bargains if I'd had paid 20 times more than I did.

http://trainandgrowrich.com/ftc_sale.htm

His sale ends at noon – sorry I didn't tell you before,
but I didn't pay attention since I already own them all;)

BTW - The Ultimate Sales Kit and Publicity Kit are my
two faves.

Whatâs the Cost?

2009-11-27T05:49:00.000-08:00

When it comes to cost, two things should never be
viewed at face value:

1. Education
2. Clients

Education isn't a cost…it's an investment. If you
invest $20 in a book, $200 in a product or $2000 in
a coaching program or seminar – what matters is
the return on that investment.

I've read $15 books that I know are responsible for
100K in new business revenues.

A pretty good return.

You should always invest in your education…invest
in yourself. It will provide a better payoff than any stock.

For clients, the cost of acquiring a new client only matters
relative to the lifetime value of that client.

Did you know that WalMart sells bestselling books at a
loss?

They do it knowing that people who buy books are typically
high value customers – so losing a few dol.lars on a single
item will be recouped several times over on other items.

If you're clients spend $2000 with you on average – isn't
it worth $200 to get a new one?

So focus on what your education and your clients are
worth – not what they cost.

Dedicated to your success –

Pat

2 For You

2009-11-25T13:49:00.001-08:00

Hey aff - I just got back from watching
Planet 51 with Holly, Tyler, Doug - a close friend
and former asst coach - and Doug's nephew Noah.

Fun stuff - but before we get into the Holiday's
full swing I wanted to ask you to head over to
the blog:

http://www.PatNickandJim.com

Late yesterday I posted a video answering more of
your questions and today I made a post sharing
a bit of what I'm thankful for.

I hope you'll head over to the blog and share
some of what you're thankful for too.

No emails or new posts from me tomorrow - so
if you're in the U.S. - have a Happy Thanksgiving!

If you're not in the U.S. - have a Happy Thursday
and I'll be back in touch Friday!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving (or Thursday)!

Whereâs your bottleneck?

2009-11-24T17:41:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I had a coaching client in town for a
full day session and one of the things we looked at
was the 'flowchart' of a business. Here's a look:

1. Lead generation
2. Sales process
3. Immediate upsell
4. Service delivery
5. Retention – outside of programming
6. Back end sales
7. Referral generation

You should break what you do into these 7 components
and look for the bottlenecks that are keeping your
business from reaching it's potential.

If you're not generating enough leads…you know
that this should be your area of focus.

If you're not closing those leads…there is your
focal point.

Honestly, most fitness pros think that their problems
lie only in lead generation – but often the issues can
be found elsewhere.

With that in mind – I have two resources for you.

If you need help in the lead generation, sales, retention
or referral components – you need to check out my
buddy Curtis Mock's new Web TV show:

http://www.fitbiz.tv/

We're going to start having Curtis as a regular contributor
on our blog as he's one of the sharpest guys in the fitness
industry. You're gonna love his show.

Second – until tomorrow you can get 3 killer Workout Muse
tracks for just $33.

http://www.workoutmuse.com/sale

By now you're hopefully using Workout Muse, but if you
need another endorsement to convince you how awesome
it is – how about this…yesterday we found out that the
Workout Muse I-Phone app had climbed to #3 out of the
thousands of fitness apps on the market.

Pretty cool, huh?

So plug your business into this flowchart and identify
where your bottlenecks are.

Then fix them. These resources will certainly help;)

T.E.A.M.

2009-11-18T21:07:00.000-08:00

On my desk sits this phrase:

Together

Everyone

Achieves

It's true – I promise.

But all too often business owners leave
themselves on an island and don't use the
power of a team.

We've created programs like the Bootcamp
Blueprint to help fitness pros benefit from
the power of a team.

We hold events like the IYCA Summit and Fast
Track for that same reason.

When we created our youth fitness franchise
it was so people around the globe that wanted to
have a successful youth fitness & athletic development
business could be part of a team and achieve even
greater success.

I know that everything I've ever accomplished is
largely due to my team of family, friends, colleagues,
staff and business partners.

Honestly – business is too tough to go it alone…especially
when you don't have to.

So take advantage of events like the Summit or Fast
Track.

Join a Mastermind Group.

Achieve more by being part of a team.

By the way – if you want to have a shot to win fr.ee
tickets to the IYCA Summit, be sure to post here:

http://iyca.org/wordpress/

And please consider me part of your team. So if you
haven't already friended me on Facebook – be sure to:

http://www.facebook.com/patrigsby

I plan on getting the hang of LinkedIn sometime
too in case that's your preferred network…but
bear with me as I figure that one out.

Dedicated to your success –

Pat

Be, Do, Have

2009-11-17T05:23:00.001-08:00

If you want a successful fitness business,
it doesn't magically appear by throwing
up a website, opening a studio or proclaiming
yourself (your town)'s fitness guru.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Heck, it doesn't even start with getting more
clients, training more sessions or marketing
like crazy.

Nope.

If you want a successful fitness business, it
starts with being.

Being more knowledgeable about training.

Being more knowledgeable about business.

Being someone who's willing to start early
and work late.

Being the type of person that people want to
do business with.

So 'be' prepared to do the things necessary to
be successful.

'Do' those things.

Then you'll be in a position to 'have' the business
you've always wanted.

Hereâs #15

2009-11-13T11:52:00.001-08:00

Over at the blog I just posted 14 thoughts
about launching a successful fitness business.

http://www.PatNickandJim.com

I know you'll like them.

Here's one more to add:

#15 – Be a good person and treat others like
you want to be treated.

Let me give you an example:

The owners of a business Nick and I used to
lease space from just had another business
they owned go under.

Honestly, not a surprise as they *never* try to
create a win / win for anyone who interacts
with them.

And almost no one can get by doing business
that way for long.

So remember, your goal as a business owner
is to get what you want out of each transaction,
each relationship and each interaction – while also
helping the person on the other end get what they
want…and hopefully more.

Do that and you'll go far.

Have a great weekend!

Pat

What do they know that you donât?

2009-11-12T05:22:00.001-08:00

By now you've heard me talk about my wife
Holly.

She's built an online empire around moms
because while most people have customers that
purchase and move on – she creates Raving Fans.

And it's because she connects with them.

She's not just delivering workouts or a nutrition
plan. She makes women feel like they belong.

Since most of the personal training and bootcamp
clients out there are women – you need to do the
same. Head on over to the blog and learn how.

http://www.PatNickandJim.com

Rachel Cosgrove has done the same thing offline
at the Cosgrove's gym – Results Fitness. She's
delivered results and an experience that turns
women into Raving Fans.

And since Results Fitness is probably the most
profitable gym per sq. ft. in the country, you might
want to see what she has to say;)

Do You Have One?

2009-11-11T08:25:00.000-08:00

To be successful you need a competitive advantage.

I'm not suggesting that you need to be the best in the world at something.

Just better than your direct competitors.

Lee Taft teaches speed better than his competitors.

Holly speaks directly to moms better than her competitors.

Steve Krebs creates a sense of community in his bootcamps better than his competitors .

Donovan Owens networks better than his.

Nick Berry and Jim Labadie are better looking than their competitors.

(Just kidding – just wanted to see if you were paying attention.)

So what can you do to separate yourself from your competitors?

Are you a better speaker?

Better writer?

Do you get better results with a certain target market?

Are you better at getting referrals?

Figure out what you're better at and make that the core of
your business strategy.

Do that and your business will take a quantum leap.

Dedicated to your success –

Pat

hardcore atmosphere in your training sessions, Workout
Muse just developed a system to help give you a

7 Steps To Better Networking

2009-11-10T05:34:00.000-08:00

How do you network and build relationships
effectively?

First: Really be a QUALITY person.

What's that mean?

Be genuine. Continue to educate yourself. Treat
others like you want to be treated.

Second: Be interested in people. Ask questions. Get
them talking about themselves. Remember the details
that they find important.

Third: Listen. Shut up;) Let people talk about themselves.

Fourth: Add value to others lives. Make sure that they're
better off by knowing you. Figure out what the other
person values and what they are really passionate about.

Whenever you can – add value there.

Fifth. Find out who can add value to your life. Better to
meet 1-2 great contacts than collect 30 business cards but
foster no real relationships.

Sixth: Give without expectation of a payback.

Go above and beyond with those whom you decide to network.

If you give without immediate expectation of payback your
contributions will be perceived as sincere – because they
are sincere.

Seventh. Follow-up. When you meet someone new – drop them
a note. Doesn't have to be anything fancy – just nice meeting
you or thank you for your contribution, etc.

Make notes about their interests and needs. When you come
across an article, book, or contact that might be valuable then
send it or call them with this information or contact.

Being an effective networker can transform your career – and
your life if you're willing to become great at it.

By the way - If you're looking for the best opportunity in
the world to network with youth fitness & athletic development
professionals, the IYCA Summit is it.

Today is the first day of Early Bird Registration - learn
all about it here:

A.S.L.T.W.

2009-11-05T13:55:00.001-08:00

A.S.L.T.W.

Actions speak louder than words.

"Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what
you're saying."

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

I'm a big believer in the power of words.

I write a newsletter to you every day as proof;)

But when words aren't backed by corresponding
actions, talk is cheap.

Have you ever felt that what a business promised you
in their marketing was nothing like what they actually
delivered?

Me too.

There is a list of businesses that I will never buy from
again.

Was it their marketing that turned me away forever?

Of course not.

It was their actions.

One dumb decision can undo all the marketing you've ever done.

Is what you're delivering even better than what you're advertising?

It should be.

I don't care what your website says.

I don't care how you've branded yourself.

I don't care how great your ads are.

I only care about what actually happens once I'm in your
doors.

Screw that up and no marketing will ever fix it.

So yes – marketing will get someone to give your business
a chance.

Your actions will determine what comes of it.

Out of the box

2009-11-02T19:32:00.000-08:00

Do you only do what everyone else does when
it comes to business?

I don't.

A few weeks back I came across a company that
only promotes offline businesses and emailed them
with the idea to promote Holly's online offerings.

I didn't hear anything until yesterday, but then I
received a call and we're discussing a possible
JV that could pay off big.

Really big.

I've gotten the same people that go door to door selling
cleaning products to sell memberships to our health club
just to see if it would work – and because no one else
does it.

It does work, by the way.

Heck – I've even created healthy fundraisers around
groups selling fitness memberships.

Not every creative idea I have is a winner.

Far from it.

But in baseball they say 'you can't steal second base
and keep your foot on first.'

You gotta take a few risks and see what happens.

So try some new things that no one else in your market
offers.

Maybe a results guarantee.

Or better yet –a double your mon.ey back results
guarantee.

Maybe a new marketing strategy.

Dare to be different.

Who knows, you may hit on a winner that totally
transforms your business.

But you'll never know if you don't try.

Dedicated to your success –

Pat
