Are you looking to further your fitness career? Want MORE out of your investments and certifications? There’s MANY different path’s you can take to create success in your fitness career. Something to consider though is, are you painting yourself into a corner?
With over 29 years in the fitness industry, I honestly can say – I have done it all. I have done and accomplished all that I have wanted. BUT let me also tell you – my path changed A LOT throughout the course of this career.
That’s what I hope you will consider – keep and open mind and be willing to collaborate to reach your goals faster.
Stop trying to do it all by yourself.
The reason I say this is because, you don’t know what you don’t know. I had BIG DREAMS and goals on what I wanted to accomplish (own a gym, compete in fitness competitions, become a fitness conference presenter, develop my own video workout line, etc).
BUT, it wasn’t until I aligned with a company and a mentor that allowed me to actually see the unrealistic goals that I had, or the stepping stones I had to take first, or even what was REALLY behind the curtain on that shiny goal.
Most of the time, it sounds and looks great, but in actuality it isn’t all we thought it was going to be. As well as, it can really limit your time, freedom, income, and ability to do what you truly love.
IN GENERAL – there are 2 ways to go about it…
_____________________________________________________
1) DO IT YOURSELF
2) ALIGN & COLLABORATION
_________________________________________________________________
1) DO IT YOURSELF – Create more Services, Stability of Income, and Systems for your own health and fitness and in helping others.
Already have a great handle on that but want to DO MORE of what you want to do in a much bigger scale that creates income.
The KEY is to just Get Started. Sounds EASY!
You might think all you need to do is grow your online following and BOOM, you have created an influencer career!
There’s A LOT that goes into it. Listed below are some details. Click here to download an infographic that breaks this flow down even more for you.
- Have Something to Offer – Products, Services, or your time. (think about how it will scale when it becomes in demand)
- Brand Establishment, Demand, Target Market
- Social Media Marketing, Engagement, Growth
- Customer Service & Support
- Production of Products, Services, & Distribution
- Online Footprint (SEO, Website, Social Media Content Creation, Messaging & Followers communication)
- Content Marketing – Images, Video, Editing, Distribution Online, Copywriting, SEO Research
2) ALIGN & COLLABORATION – YOU are the BRAND. Align up with LIKE brands/companies to use their platform, marketing, expertise, and following to propel your career.
YOU already have a life that is SUPER BUSY. Collaborating allows you to use another brand/companies success to build your foundation, expertise, credibility, income at a much faster pace WITHOUT the RISK or CRUSH on your time.
PSSST…. Because you have built your following, foundation, and success aligned up with a sugar daddy company – when you have something you want to offer or sell from your own personal brand – you already have a built in customer database.
Don’t re-create the wheel – because the wheel has already been blinged, shined, and painted!
One of the FASTEST ways to EXPAND YOU is to tap into a company that you align with overall. They already have products people want. They already have customer service, distribution, marketing, customer leads, income, and so much more.
The SECRET to just getting started is to get over thinking you have to do it yourself. Tap into a system, foundation, a coach mentor.
That’s exactly what I have done to develop my fitness career to the max as well as to create an online health and fitness coaching business that helps people with their journey, but also, helps others just like you learn how to do it, and do it.
AND GUESS WHAT???
I’m not a walking white noise billboard for the company! Because people don’t connect or follow companies! They follow people! Stories! real life experiences! DOGS! Kids! Travel! The messes!
Make sense?
BIG TIP – DO NOT share the logos, names, and company propaganda online. Make sure you share your life, what you use, your results, the good and the bad, the TRUTH! But more importantly, invite people to follow you, join what you have to offer to support them, and to help them with the problems they are struggling with!
YOU can still offer your personal products, services, uniqueness….. it’s going to be MUCH EASIER and MUCH FASTER for you to scale, connect with a wider target market, help MORE people when you expand your options to help others.
