IMO, the best way to make money from this industry, is to not compete in it. 


amen.. and that is why you will most likely not be seeing me on a stage anytime soon.

There are no Women & only maybe the top 2 men make good money. Even Ronnie & Jay only make good money for a short time.

Compete becasue it is a hobby.

I have devoted 15 years in my Aircraft Company which allows me to compete in this sport I love.

Keep your day job, put all your efforts into moving that forward, and then compete and train for fun a maybe some extra perks and some vacation money.

I love this industry, but I do not expect it to meet any of my financial needs or allow it to define me.

So many Men & Women get chewed up & spit out by this industry...They can't control what they don't own.

Excellent advice, Betty.  I especially like the last line about not being able to control what you don't own.

Girl,

The only six pack we need is Heineken, LOL! :)

All kidding aside, it's good that you're happy.

You can always make a lot of money training idiots hopefuls.

I wish because then you would be giving me the foot massage. I would have gone, but I have been so darn busy that I forgot to mark the weekend.  I am sure I will miss the fun.....   :'(

I'm still waffling around on this.  I was talking with a lawyer who said it sounded like what the IFBB was doing to the sport was illegal.  Has anyone ever tried to take the IFBB to court?

"doing to the sport is illegal"? ???

Take them to court on what grounds?

I don't understand all the theories ... but, basically, that the IFBB is a monopoly that abuses its power by how it treats the pros.

I think I explained it -- at least as best as I could -- in the previous post.
