I’d made some bad financial decisions but I knew my skills and passion were in fitness, the first thing Cabel said was, “we’re going to find the lowest hanging fruit.”

I was living in the new gym…had no real kitchen facilities, no hot water and had to put together a makeshift shower as I didn’t have any showers in the gym.

profilrAs we are approaching Fitness Business Summit, I just wanted to give you a personal Thank You for what Bedros and more importantly yourself have done for me over the past 9 months.

This is not something I have made common knowledge, however, prior to working with yourself my business was in an extremely bad way. Not long before starting the business accelerator program, I had to move out of the premises that I was running my gym from. This was because I was unable to cover the rent for the premises and was so far behind that I was asked (ok forced) to leave.
Having no where to go and also not wanting to give up on my dream, I took the clients that stood by me and started training in a park every day.

For the next few months, I pretty much did what ever I had to do to get enough cash to put together a deposit to lease new premises and negotiate with the realtors to give me the first 3 months free (my thought process was that I had 3 months to make the business profitable). I was also having to stay at a friends place when I could as I couldn’t afford to pay rent to live anywhere at the time either.

This was the point where I seriously took on the information that Bedros was producing and took the step to enrol in the business accelerator program. It was something that I was not able to afford but once again did whatever I needed to do make sure I didn’t miss the opportunity. To do this I was living in the new gym that I just had signed on for, as I didn’t have any real income to pay for a place to live. It was not a pleasurable experience as I had no real kitchen facilities, no hot water and had to put together a makeshift shower as I didn’t have any showers in the gym….just toilets and cold water (doing cold showers throughout the winter was not a pleasurable experience…i definitely wouldn’t recommend it 🙂 )

But once I started the phone calls with yourself, it gave me a lot of hope that this was the turning point for my business. The phone calls with yourself became my guide for building the gym. Everything you asked or suggested that I do, I did with 110% and made sure I could do it as well as I could and no surprise all the methods worked. When starting with you my business was bearly making 3k a month. Thanks to you I am now making an average of 13k per month, and this is all thanks to you and your dedication to wanting to do whatever it takes to help people succeed.

As you know, I have just put on a new trainer, and this was something that I didn’t even see possible just a short time ago.

I will admit that this journey has been tough, there were a lot of testing and dark times, but I always knew that I had you on my side and just by reading through Profitable Personal Trainer group kept the motivation up and promising myself that no matter what that I would be at the next Fitness Business Summit…which is now reality thanks to yourself.

This is just a brief overview of what has happened over the past 9 months, but from the bottom of my heart thank you! If it weren’t for your vast knowledge, encouragement and commitment I truly believe that I wouldn’t have a business, let alone a profitable business that I have now. I cant wait to keep working with you and building my business bigger as I now see this as just the beginning.

THANK YOU once again, I feel I owe a lot to you and B.

I am looking forward to meeting you in a few weeks 🙂

Oh and just so you know, I am no longer living in the gym but I do have my own place now 🙂

P.S. I was going to send this to B as well, but wasnt sure which email to send it to, so please feel free to forward to him.

Thanks and see you soon

Cabel has a very unique way of simplifying any problem and providing an even 431132_263866673690126_776947415_nsimpler solution.

I’ve been working with Cabel for almost a year now and it’s one of the best business decisions I’ve made.  Cabel has helped me take my training business from one that only had a few clients to one that is now a 6 figure business.  Cabel has a very unique way of simplifying any problem and providing an even simpler solution. In fact, during my very first call with Cabel, I was able to implement one of his simple strategies that day and sign a new client to a 12 month program.  That strategy is now one I use on a daily basis to continually grow my business.  I look forward to our regular calls and always leave with that “aha” moment that helps me take action immediately.  A coach is a must have for any business owner that wants to be truly successful and Cabel is the one that will get you there.

                                                                                          

I truly appreciate everything you’ve done for me.  Thanks Cabel!


For the Ladies….

headshotI have been in this industry for about 8 years. I love what I do – somedays I think I am slightly addicted to my amazing career. I have been coaching in the 7 Figure Mastermind for what seems like an eternity (just kidding Cabel, it’s been a slice), I have watched some powerful and inspirational women rise and shine such as Shawna Kaminski and Lori Kennedy and I think its time we just chatted a little bit about the power of being a woman in this industry.The things I am going to say in this blog are going to be controversial. I may upset a few men out there – I may even upset a few woman but thats ok, controversial debate is often what broadens our horizons.

As a woman I have worked a 9-5, had a baby, lost 120 lbs, became a certified trainer, opened a training and nutrition business business, went back to school for 3 years, opened up an FBBC boot camp, became a 6 figure earner and now i’m onto my third enterprise of coaching and mindset mentoring. While I did all of this, I made sure homework was done, the leaves were raked, the dishwasher loaded (and actually turned on), sleepovers arranged and kick ass birthday parties created. I have made sure that anniversaries were not forgotten, offered shoulders to cry on, dropped everything for family emergencies and paid the bills.

I have done it all and I know many women out there, also have to do it all. Men, do not misunderstand me. I am not saying that we are forced into this, we actually CHOOSE to take on all these roles. We volunteer to wear all these hats because as women, we are the Queens of Multitasking. We have this incredible, amazing, wonderful ability to some how manage it all without spontaneously combusting (although some days we come close). We can go from Super Mom to Super Trainer in the blink of an eye (those who have ever had to calm a fussy baby while your in-home client finishes a 3rd set of push ups know what I mean).

Women in the fitness industry, women entrepreneurs and women following their dreams have an awful lot of responsibility to manage. Yes, we get lots of support and probably even more if we remembered to ask for it but the fact remains that even in 2014, we are more often than not the home maker, breadwinner and business owner.

Geez, we rock.

And so, I want to move forward in this blog with some words of encouragement to my fellow females.

I want you to remember a few things, things that mentors have taught me over the years and things that I cling to when times are less than easy:

You have unlimited energy. Yes you can train for 10 hours, set up a wicked marketing promo and then go look after your sick child before you clean up the kitchen. You have enough energy and resources at your fingers tips to get everything done.

You are powerful – you are powerful beyond what you can even realize at this moment in time. Don’t ever forget your power.
You can have everything you want in life and you can have it quickly. You can have the business, the home life, the money and the down time. You can have it all I promise. Just decide you want it and stop questioning whether you can have it.

Realize that you are not a man. Realize that we have an amazing journey of learning and expansion and that while we may see others charging towards their goals, we realize that we have children to raise or relationships to cultivate or weddings to plan in addition to the long term dreams. Will this slow you down….yea, maybe a little. Will you be a stronger and more well rounded person because of it…..ABSOLUTELY.and lastly

With our massive hearts and desire to look after the world, please remember to love yourself. I have spent many years caring for others including clients, friends, husbands and children, sometimes without too much care for myself. You are the #1 priority. Get over feeling selfish about spending more time on yourself. Do your workouts, get your calories in and go to bed when you should. In this industry we have to “be the product”. Ensure that you are keeping yourself happy and healthy. Focus on your needs each and every day.

Thanks for reading. I am sure this may have raised some eyebrows so please feel free to comment or email:tm@tmtraining.ca.

Questions can also be directed to that email address and I have some amazing resources in regards to mindset and energy if you are interested.

Till next time

Every day is a chance to turn it all around..

Every day is a chance to turn it all around..

headshot“You don’t need a new year to create a new you. You create yourself every day through better thought patterns, positive self talk, patience with your goals and understanding that you only attract back to yourself what you give out. If you can work a little bit every day on making yourself happier, then every day is the start of something amazing.”

I actually wrote this status update for all my training clients. I wanted them to know that they have the opportunity every minute of every day to make themselves a better person.

Well, this statement also rings true for entrepreneur in the Fitness Industry also. Every single day is an opportunity to turn it all around. I know, just by chatting with other successful fitness business owners and being connected to the 7 Figure Mastermind that December can be a lean month for all us fitness pro’s. You may have seen lower numbers this month. You may have seen less leads coming in the door, lost a few clients and seen fluctuations in your monthly revenue. I know I did. It is VERY easy to get caught up in the moment and start to worry about how you are going to survive the month, how you will pay all your bills and how you are going to stay afloat. Worrying is addictive. When you worry, you end up worrying more. Worry is like a magnet that attracts more worry. It sucks. Stop doing that.

Instead, make the decision to turn it all around. First all of all, change your mindset. Whether you worry or not, your problems will still be there. So, stop worrying and start doing. Make the decision to focus forward to a bright future and know that 2014 will be the best year yet.

If your numbers really don’t match up, do something about it. Can you put together a PIF sale? Can you do a reactivation project? Can you put together a cool charity event? There is always money to be made, infact, in this industry money is the least of your worries. How cool is that?

You have the opportunity every day to change your business. Stop worrying about numbers, especially in the dark days, and do something that will make you and your business shine.

Happy New Year – looking forward to a ridiculously successful 2014
