E.P.A

Placing extra and inflexible fitness regimes on already busy people is setting everyone concerned up for failure. In my experience you need to resist a one size fits all approach and try the individualised approach. The only way to do this is empower the busy and often out of balanced PT’s to look for a way that to stop just putting out bushfires and start taking steps to run an efficient business. It flips the thinking but has massive results in terms of you the busy person’s conformance. Use EPA to get you to this point.

See most PT’s think getting busy is a priority and training clients is all they think of. Unfortunately here is the problem. Once you have 10, 15 or 20 clients it’s bushfire season so you can forget even thinking of building a business.

1. Get Emotional. Empower yourself to see why it is you want to plan to build a business into your already busy lifestyle. What is most important to you, health, wealth, lifestyle or even family. Also what are your values?

2. Prioritise You. If you are already busy you will perceive there is no time for you anywhere as training clients will be all you can think of and giving all of your energy to them. Without a structure or plan for you and your business which run congruent, hopefully now you can see how staying in the PT game may be a little bit draining.

3. Be Accountable. Now you are emotionally charge and want to get your business building up and running all that is missing is accountability. It is too easy to say when the time comes I am too busy. So getting accountable means getting a coach or a mentor or even a fellow business owner to keep you moving forward. You will feel less inclined initially to let someone else down than yourself so tap into that mode of thought initially. It will be an initial investment that will pay you back indefinitely.

Everyone is time poor so the last thing you need to do is make yourself busier by just extinguishing bushfires and fixing problems. Stand above the PT crowd and become a star by planning and execute a business building plan starting today.
