It is truly a gift to help others transform their lives and in the process provide a living example for my kids on how to live life to the fullest. My fitness businesses give me the opportunity to share my gifts, and to inspire others to do the same.

In return, my own life is more fulfilling, rewarding, and full of adventure!

Thanks for the post.

Hey Chris,

Quick question. Could you tell me about your first try at info-marketing. Was your first try successfull or did it take a couple of tries to get something that actually brought in money?

Thanks,

Rick

Hello Chris!
This was a very introspective post and you asked some questions that all of us need to answer, much like the success/dream list that Steve Hochman mentions we all must have.

I've been inspired by all the posts and videos from you, Steve and Bedros. Inspired enough to take major action in the last month and a half to turn my mediocre personal training j-o-b (because that's really what I had) of 14 months, into a business that will make me 6-figures and more before my 30th b-day next November. No more BS excuses that "I'm just a new business and it's ok to not make a lot in the first year". I'm waaayyy out of my comfort zone, and you know what? It's not that scary after all. Liberating would be a better word. Exciting.
Once fear goes by the wayside, nothing else matters, except success.

Love your posts.
-Sara

Yo Zach, Great story. YOu continue to inspire and
take people higher.

I like what you said about the nightmare of your daughter telling you that you never did it, that you never took the big leap.

That resonates with a bunch of people.

I think you and chris are brothers from another mother.

As a customer of just about all the programs and training for a long time…I've had the marriages(4 smile,what can i say,i get bored!), the traveling,little and lots of free time and just about all the addictions a person could have…training around and with hot,hot women motivates this guy!

You have to love it and stay on your "game"(great book for those that haven't read it)

Chris, your products are solid! The Fitness Formula crew and the site they helped create works very well, Kick Back life also stream lines several biz system elements all trainers need help with.

I can honestly say that after the length of time in the biz and still admitting that there's so much to learn, is a clue to the newbies…less than a year, stop dicking around and order all his and Bedros' gear! The hook up will save you years of struggle…I'm just saying

Go Kill it as Zach shouts!

Shout at ya later

Hi Chris-I do what I do because I'm great at it, and because of my family-We have 5 kids, and a 7 y.o. and 18 month old,(yup-insane!), at home-that are my responsibility! I am also sick with CFIDS,
chronic-active, anti-biotic resistant. This is why I haven't responded to all your great offers-I just can't take on any more than I'm doing until I have a "normal" year-(like one in which I
don't wonder if I'm gonna survive more than once!)…The good thing is that with my research background, I can fix people-and I'm pretty passionate about that-I have a TMBI client that couldn't get
off a chair, or legpress 35 lb.s; 2 months after working with me he
could leg-press 235#! He's also on 1/2 of his med.s, and still seizure- free.That's the stuff that gets me to the gym!:)Aly

Chris, Great post! I have been in the fitness industry for over 10 years. I have had what I thought was a "business" for the past 7.It is the most rewarding job I have ever had. Lately, I am trying to leave my "Job" and make my business more mobile so I can travel more and spend more time with my soon to be wife. That is why I am going to Fitness Info Summit in October. I have some ideas I wat to put into action! Thanks and keep up the awesome, inspiring work!
