This is typically the time to tell you how amazing I am, all of the incredible accomplishments I have achieved, how smart I am, and how you should listen to everything I have to say.  As much as I would love to feed my own ego and brag about everything I have been able to do in my 14 years in this industry, I’d rather share with you a few of my philosophies so you can get a better idea of who I am, not what I have done.

You get out of life what you put in. 

I firmly believe this.  Many people sit idly and wait for opportunities to present themselves, all the while complaining or worrying or being miserable because life is passing them by. 

Opportunities do not present themselves, rather they are presented to those who seek them out.  If you constantly wait for things to happen, you’ll find yourself still waiting 5, 10, 30 years from now.  Life is short.  You don’t want to wait until tomorrow to do the things you can do today.

Do you want to spend more time with your family?  Create a lifestyle that allows you to do that!  Do you want to travel the world?  Go fishing on the weekends?  Take a nap?  Be stress free?  All of these things are possible!  You just have to make them happen. 

My goal in life is to help empower as many people as possible to create the life that they want.  I just happened to choose the health club industry and club owners in particular because of my undying love for fitness. 

So consider yourselves the chosen ones.  I am here to help YOU!  Not that I’m some great messiah that is going to save our scattered and oversaturated industry.  No one person can do that.  But if I can help you, you and your fitness business, then we have both benefitted. 

Do you remember this time last year?  I’ll bet you were worried about the same things you’re worried about now.  How can I get more members?  How can I generate more money?  My bills are due soon.  My family is relying on me.  I hope I don’t upset my members.  Why did they cancel?  What can I do better?  Where can I turn for help? 

These are common concerns among health club owners.  Now imagine a life where you are stress free.  Worry free.  I have that life.  And I want you to have that life.  I am going to help you build that life. 

Ever hear the phrase, “Work on your business, not in your business”?  Well it’s exactly what you should be doing.  Do you want to spend 12 hours a day at your gym?  A better question might be: When you look back 30 years from now, what kind of life will leave you with no regrets?  What kind of life do you want to live?  Make a list of the type of person you want to be, the type of lifestyle you want to live, and what would make your life fulfilling.  Write it down.  Tape it to your mirror where you can see it every day.   

I love this industry.  Everything about it.  I love working with people who love helping other people.  That is what owning a gym is all about. You help people get healthy.  You help relieve their stress.  You help improve their lives. 

I am…if you’ll let me.  I cut to the chase, I attack problems head on, I know people who know people, I keep you ahead of the curve and I work tirelessly to provide you resources and advice to run a better health club.  I am relentless and I will make you relentless as well.  Do you want more out of life?  If not, this blog is not for you and I am not the right person to help you run a better business.

If you do want a better life, a more successful health club, and a friend in the industry you can rely on.  Then I’m excited to help!  Please contact me about anything you want and I can help get you headed in the right direction.  I look forward to helping you live a better life and running a better business.

    To your success…
