Title: Leave everything behind in Los Angeles and moving away
Post by: flinstones1 on August 31, 2017, 08:10:47 AM
I don't like living in la - it's a shithole. I miss the east coast like crazy! . The only reason i haven't left this place is it's hard for me to leave a successful business. I have a full clientele as a private trainer  that's not going anywhere anytime soon and it took me a while to build that up. Plus having no boss and making your own schedule is nice.  I can't imagine working for s gym again.

Im really considering moving to Miami and just starting over from scratch. Should I take the hit for 6 months to a year and just move there? The game plan would be just hit the beach all day and clubs at night while I slowly pick up clients. Would be tough not knowing anybody but that's how you grow right?

While I have come a LONG way career wise I feel like my development as a person has come to a halt because I'm too comfortable here.

What do you mean by your development as a person has slowed?


Move if you're that unhappy but you'll have the same issues because they are internal

Walking away from cash isn't likely the best move, but I can't decide your misery vs income risk tolerance.

No guarantee you get the same client level out there.

Tell your clients you're going on a one month trip to Miami to learn advance training techniques that will help them get jacked.  They'll then wait for you.  Go to Miami and see if you like it.  if in a month it sucks you go back to LA and teach your clients some dumb tricks to make them think it's more advanced.

Are people friendlier on the east coast? Less stuck up?

Or are you saying things are too easy for you in LA so you won't evolve or develop mentally?

At 21 you are still young and have your whole life ahead of you. Go ahead and move to another part of the country if that is what you want. You're 21 dude, no kids no wife, you are the definition of freedom!

Need MattC to confirm this once he's finished competing an 170 pound weight class (he's doing this for health) at the strongman Canadian Providence Cup.

Besides some of the traffic and housing crisis $$$$$$$$$, I love California and wouldn't want to move unless I was close by say Vegas close. Anywayz................. ......

If I were you... I would find someone you can trust (Hard to find I know) have them take over your clients in CAli.. Take a cut from the profits (GM) which will help supplement your income (Residual as well), and then move and be happy and start up something else. Just a thought.

Way friendlier on the east coast. Everyone in LA is a delusional wanna be celebrity with no substance. Are there hot women? Yes but you can go to New York or Boston and find a chick just as hot with some actual substance to her. I'm sure Miami is the same with the fakenesss but at least the nightlife and beaches are better. Hollywood is Overrated as fuck and I'm ready for a change. I have a pretty good life but Im just bored. And I'm hoping a new city will give me the stimulation I need and challenge me a bit.

Miami women are, collectively, right now very jaded and stand offish, as they are all genuinely upset as they know Giancarlo Stanton will likely be moved in the offseason, as the new Marlins ownership group is going to look to clear payroll.

NY women are the opposite, as they see the young Yankees team showing promise earlier than expected, and they know Brian Cashman has been able to leverage a strong farm system to upgrade, without trading away any major talent.

Stick to NY right now.
