Hey there,
You've probably been hearing a lot about me on the Internet these days, kind of weird all these people are talking about me… I'm just a regular dude… and I gotta admit… all this attention kinda freaks me out a little…
Like when Stompernet, who holds the record for the most successful launch in the history of Internet marketing to date, did a 25 minute feature video about my business during one of their recent launches, and then sent that video out to hundreds of thousands of people.
It was crazy, people started recognizing me wherever I would go. I mean the video was pretty compelling, it showed how I used to wake up at 4:45 am and only made enough to get by and how now I sleep in until whenever the hell I want, barely work and make good money. I think it was the whole barely work and make good money thing that intrigued them.
I mean, it's not like I'm pulling in millions every year or anything. The truth is I only make a few hundred thousand dollars a year, and there are plenty of other Internet marketers and fitness entrepreneurs who are making a helluva lot more than that. Lots of em' make over 10 times what I make.
I'm pretty sure what caused me to get all this strange attention lately is the fact that I've created a business that runs almost 100% on autopilot and rarely requires more than 5 hours of my attention per week… about an hour a day… give or take. A business that has made me financially independent and successful but also given me a ton of free time (I love that damned free time.
)
And yes… it's true… along time ago I was a high level marijuana trafficker, made a ton of money, got busted, lost everything, went to jail and wound up homeless…
I admit it. I was a mega loser…
And even today, I'm far from being perfect. In fact, I'm VERY different than most successful guys out there. I have A.D.D like nobody's business, I use foul language, I love to sit around and watch TV, I'm lazy and I'm RARELY in great shape, I do like to get all ripped up sometimes… but it ain't often.
However, I don't wanna just talk about me. I want to talk to you about the mistakes most fitness business owners are making and what you can do to make sure YOU'RE successful… without sacraficing a lot of time in the process… but before I go any further, I want to make sure of something…

Ok, back to what I was talking about…
The sad fact is most personal trainers, health club owners and fitness entrepreneurs grind away working long hours, day in and day out with seemingly no end in sight… And to make matters worse most only achieve moderate financial success if any at all… they're too busy dealing with their clients needs, managing the schedule, putting out fires, responding to e-mails, returning phone calls, doing the never ending stream of busy work and worrying about how in the world they're gonna get new business…
They are completely missing out on what it really takes to grow a successful business while still having a life… I did this same thing for years in my personal training business…
After spending many frustrating years trying to build my personal training business the long hours and unstable income had taken such a toll on me I was at the point of severe mental, physical and emotional exhaustion. I had literally burned out just trying to make a living as a fitness professional and due to the sheer exhaustion and desperation I thought I was gonna lose my f*ckin' mind…
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy
But what came out of it was one of the best things that could have ever happened to me…
I quickly woke up to the fact that the way most fitness professionals go about building their business is a clear-cut path to failure, burnout and disaster.
Definitely not something I choose to participate in any longer.
It wasn't until I "woke up" to this ugly truth that I discovered exactly how to maximize profits and minimize time spent actually working…something I call the "ideal set up"…less work, more money…I don't know about you, but for me that's ideal.
I realized I needed to look WAY outside of the fitness marketing industry if I wanted to be financially successful AND have a lot of free time. I'd have to study people from multiple markets and lifestyles and find a system that worked for me. One that made me a lot of money but didn't really take up much of my time.
I actually risked all my finances and maxed-out my credit cards to learn this stuff. I called it my "shotgun-to-the-head education"… Meaning if I didn't learn how to build a successful personal training business fast I was going to be broke, get evicted and have to find some lousy job.
I literally felt like my life was on the line…
But I had to make a change if I wanted to enjoy the kind of life I know I deserved to live… So I rolled the dice with my savings and spent everything I had to learn Internet marketing, direct response marketing, copywriting, business philosophy and time management.
I joined an Internet marketing group that cost me $9,564.00 per year and a mastermind group that cost me $4,632.00 per year. I hired a sales coach who charges $15,000.00 PER DAY and a marketing coach who charged me $500.00 per hour and another $500.00 per month for email access to him. Plus I spent approximately another $837.00 per month on books, CD's, DVD's and courses.
And on top of all that I devoted over 3 hours a day to learning all this stuff. When my wife would go to sleep around midnight I would pull out my books and courses and dive in head first for hours until I couldn't hold my head up any longer.
And then came the application and the trial and error. I spent countless hours trying things that worked and others that didn't…
But it was all worth it… After my "shotgun-to-the-head education" I discovered exactly what needed to be done to build a successful personal training business while only working a few hours a day… And the good news for YOU is that you don't need to spend tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours studying to learn what really works… I've done the leg work for you… And I'll teach you exactly what to do…

Let me go back and lay out what happened:
1. I become a personal trainer with a sincere desire to help people and a goal of making six figures a year.
2. I have no idea how to get clients and am desperate to get my business going.
3. I discover some marketing strategies and my business takes off. I am booked solid!
4. Soon I am working day and night and I am making decent money but the stress from the long hours is catching up to me.
5. I hit the wall. The long hours have driven me into the ground. I can longer stand the thought of getting up at 4:45 am to meet clients and leaving the gym at 8:15 at night to go home and go to bed, just so I can get up and do it another day. It f*ckin' sucked
8. After a ton of research, trial and error, I stumble onto the discovery that changes everything about the way I run my business.
9. I started pulling in a strong six figure income annually… while sleeping in until 8:00am and working on my business less than two hours a day… usually I only work on it for about 30 minutes
10. My income continues to grow and I continue to work fewer and fewer hours… have more and more free time… and what's really cool is that I'm making money the whole time while I'm doing whatever I want.
Today I spend the majority of my time cruising around on my Harley, hanging out with my wife and two little daughters Emma and Abby, watching movies, reading books and hanging out with friends… with the regular 2 - 6 week vacation thrown in their every few months for good measure
If you're a personal trainer or a fitness business owner, this website will show you strategies you can apply to your own business today that will help you make a lot more money and work a lot less hours…
By applying these simple strategies you will literally dominate your market and still feel like you have a life - ya know, like time to do what you want… when you want… while your competition fights for table scraps. They'll be working their butts off and you'll be on vacation somewhere enjoying the fact that you've "figured it out"…
These are solid business strategies that I didn't really wanna share with anyone… but so many people kept buggin' me about it that I decided to start this blog…
However even this blog didn't stop the frenzy of people wanting to know exactly step-by-step everything I do, so even though I really didn't want to share this info with anyone, I said "screw it"… and I'm currently creating an online course that details step-by-step every part of my simple system.
While your waiting for my course to come out I'm gonna give you a lot of my secrets away for free
Why? It's simple…
I know that if you apply what I teach right here on this site you're gonna start to make a lot more money and work a lot less hours… then down the road when I come out with my product there's a good chance you'll buy it from me because of all the results you've gotten from what I'm teaching you for free… so basically I've decided to start this relationship off with the giving hand, because I know it will come back to me… it ALWAYS does.
(Make sure you fill out the opt-in form for a free video in the top right corner of this site or at the bottom of this page so I can send you a link to the page with the video that's filled with things you can start doing today to make more money and work less hours.)
When you opt-in you'll also be put on a priority waiting list so you'll be one of the first notified when my course comes out.
What's really cool about the stuff I'll be teaching you here is how simple it is to apply. Take me for example, I built my successful personal training business working only part time hours while I fluctuated between being 30-50 pounds overweight (I definitely didn't look like a trainer)… and I was even homeless at one point… So if I can do this stuff, anyone can… trust me… it's easy once you know what you're doing…
When you apply the strategies outlined on this site you'll be focusing your time and energy on only the 'Big Revenue Generating Levers'. You'll be spending your time doing the things that'll bring in floods of hot and qualified prospects pounding on your front door… because you'll be the one service that'll have the solution to their pain…the ONLY one as far as they're concerned.
You're gonna create a 'cult-like' following of raving fans and long term customers and clients who will pretty much do whatever the hell you want them to do…
You're gonna LEARN what mistakes most business owners in the health and fitness industry make when it comes to increasing revenue, working fewer hours and living a balanced life AND how to avoid these mistakes.
I'll be adding tons of articles that will give you detailed strategies and ideas to help you build your business fast and cut the amount of time you spend actually working down dramatically, so you can spend your time doing what you want.
Just scan the categories of articles listed under "Topics" in the upper right hand section of this page to find what you need
These articles will help you solve whatever health club marketing, fitness business or personal training marketing, sales or time management frustrations you're struggling with so you can build your highly-successful six-figure part-time training business a whole lot easier and faster.
I'll be updating this site on regular basis with TONS OF KILLER CONTENT that will have you making more money and working fewer hours in no time. On this site you'll find interviews with guys like Bedros Keuilian and Pat Rigsby, you'll learn personal training sales strategies and how to get personal training referrals. If you're a health club or gym owner or you're gonna learn how to get new members beating down your door while you're off doing basically whatever it is you want… whether that's going to the movies, hanging out with your friends or whatever it is you want to do.
These health and fitness marketing systems, sales strategies and time management techniques have worked like gang busters for me and I know they'll work for you as well.
The first thing I want you to do is give me your name and email so I can give you access to an hour long video on a secret page on this site that will teach you many of the same strategies I used to build my "six figures for a few hours a week" personal training business. You'll also be put on my priority notification list as well as receive regular updates to this site.
Just fill out this form so I can send you an email with a link to the secret video:
I look forward to helping you grow the hell outta your fitness business while enjoying a lot more free time… Now I'm gonna go hang out with my daughter Abby and then go for a ride on my Harley…
