As I said, I will make ONE thread per day on what worked for me and I will try to conclude by the new year in case anyone would like try and either develop a business or make a little more. Keep in mind, I'm not great at business in the way of keeping books, records, etc, etc. I have an assistant and CPA who does that. Me, I just love to train people and watch them progress with my training systems. I guarantee my results and I have pretty much 2 areas of training, my general fitness clients that includes Private (one on one), semi-private (2-3) and fitness boot camps, I have other trainers for that. I thing is training athletes, high school, college and pro athletes in power sports such as football, Lacrosse, baseball, MMA as well as team training.
Ok, first thing is first, besides having a passion for training you have to have a niche, something that seperates you from other trainers, then you have to position yourself in the community as the "go to" trainer for you particular niche. Mine is training athletes, I seperate myself by letting people know that training athletes is almost the complete opposite of training the "soccer mom" who just wants to shed few pounds. Most personal trainers are trained to help the general public, not athletes. One thing that I have learned when I was building my business (and still do this) is that your a marketer first.
Post 2 tomorrow.
