I am NOT a Big Fan of Personal Training for Bodybuilding and Fitness Professionals!

I am NOT a Big Fan of Personal Training for Bodybuilding and Fitness Professionals!

Strive to Make Money While You Sleep

I’ll tell you right now that I am NOT a big fan of personal training as your ONLY way to earn cash from your passion for bodybuilding and fitness.

I have witness dozens of extremely qualified personal trainers forced to quit their profession because they simply couldn’t afford to continue. And, it had nothing to do with their skill level. The profession is simply limiting my nature.

You must start asking yourself:

“How can I make money while I sleep?”

You know, personal training is okay as an avenue to make money from your knowledge and experience, but your moneymaking potential is extremely limited by TIME. What do I mean by that? Let’s just say you get $50.00 per hour training a person one-on-one in the gym. It sounds good, but you can do much better. Going that route, $50.00 is all you can earn during that hour.

What if you had an ebook that had your best strategies for bodybuilding and fitness success? You could continue doing your personal training (or working at your job) if you wish while selling your ebook at the same time. You can even sell your ebook to your personal training clients to augment their efforts in the gym. It could be a “package deal” that adds even more value. Although you may have written that ebook months (and even years) ago, you could sell it over and over again for many years to come.

Let’s say your book sells for $25.00. You wouldn’t need to sell a whole bunch of them to significantly cut your food costs or other bodybuilding and fitness expenses. If you have your own Internet website, you can literally sell ebooks while you are sleeping. You can also sell your ebook over the Internet while you are training someone one-on-one in the gym.

Bill Phillips: "Skip, 'Ink and Paper!'" The VERY BEST BB and Ftiness Business Advice I Ever Received!

By Skip La Cour

The very best business and marketing advice I was ever offered was from Bill Phillips, one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the nutritional supplement industry. What profound words of wisdom did the former EAS sports nutrition mogul and New York Times best-selling author have to say to me?

“Ink and Paper”

Those three simple words have allowed me to connect with people around the world. They have allowed me to focus my time, energy, and passion in what I love to do in life—instead of working at a job I'm forced to do only because I need the money. Without even being slightly overdramatic, those three words have literally changed the direction of my life.

What Bill Phillips meant by “ink and paper” was to become an Information Broker. He encouraged me get my theories, thoughts, opinions, and experiences on the different aspects of bodybuilding and training written down on paper—and then offer them to those who are interested for price. With all the experience, knowledge, and passion I had for bodybuilding and training, Phillips convinced me the only way I could use what I had to make an impact on my life and the lives of others was to offer printed information to my fans and fellow bodybuilders.

Since that time, I've created over 10 books and dozens of other different publications—and have absolutely LOVED every challenging minute while doing so. I'm proud to say I've help hundreds of bodybuilders in over 52 countries around the world with my written work. I feel fortunate to say they've allowed me to earn enough money to concentrate on becoming the very best bodybuilder I can be—and now much more.

The only way I've been able to survive financially and focus my passion and effort into bodybuilding is because of those three magic words “ink and paper.”

The personal computer and Internet have spawned more efficient and faster ways to distribute information and market written materials. PDF files have made creating and distributing your message even easier than traditional printed books, special reports, and other publications. In addition to “ink and paper,” these days, there are digital video and audio files that can be distributed around the world in the very same manner.

By Skip La Cour

There is something unique and special about you. That's why you have people approaching you. Maybe they admire you because of the tremendous discipline you exhibit week after week. Maybe you are looked up to because you are in unbelievable shape for an older man, younger man, an older woman, or younger woman.

Maybe people come to you for training and fitness advice because you represent their ideal of the perfect role model because you are white, black, yellow, red, or purple like they are. Maybe they connect with you in a special way because you remind them of the football coach they learned so much from back in high school or their cousin Ernie who they love and respect. Maybe it's because you have a cool bald head and a goatee!

Who are you? What makes you unique? What gifts do you bring to the bodybuilding and fitness world? Now is the time to discover and appreciate the special gifts you have to offer. Knowing what you are all about in the eyes of other people will be a vital part in successfully marketing yourself and/or your services and products.

You Simply Can't Rely On Anyone Else to Help You Succeed in the Business of Bodybuilding and Fitness

By Skip La Cour

The most common misconception many aspiring bodybuilders and fitness competitors have is that, when they become good enough, they will be automatically paid for what they've accomplished with their physiques. Many stars-in-the-making bank their hopes and dreams on the nutritional supplement companies.

This is a HUGE mistake and one that will waste a lot of your precious time and energy.

There are outrageously differing opinions as to the value bodybuilders and fitness competitors think they offer the supplement companies and what those companies actually feel they are worth.

“Expect nothing!” is what one giant supplement company executive said to me. “Bodybuilders and fitness competitors come to me all the time expecting to get paid a lot of money without doing anything for it. When a bodybuilder joins a supplement company, they should expect nothing!“ These are very powerful words, aren't they?

Another supplement company president shared basically the same point-of-view with me a couple of years later. “Bodybuilders and fitness competitors are not like professional athletes and will NEVER get paid like they are! Skip, that's just not the way the business works,” he said.

My guess is that the majority of bodybuilding and fitness competitors have no idea they are viewed this way.
