A friend of mine, John, was recently despondently describing the state of his life. After working extremely hard for years climbing the corporate ladder - he was wondering whether his 'ladder' was actually leaning against the wrong wall. He was starting to ask the difficult questions about his working life - in fact, his life generally. He had risen to a senior management position in a large corporation and was paid extremely well to bring his years of experience to the organisation, however, reason the sense of enjoyment and fulfilment he got from work had all but disappeared. He wasn't sleeping well - often waking in the middle of the night thinking about his 'to do' list. He was eating poorly and was 10 kilograms overweight. He was snappy with people around him, including his family. He pronounced, 'why can't they understand how much pressure I'm under'?!Does any of this sound or feel familiar? Can you see some of yourself in John? We live in a global village connected by digital media. Our pace is rushed, rapid-fire, and relentless. Facing crushing workloads, we try to cram as much as possible into every day. Time management is no longer a viable solution. We need more. ...more

When I first started with my personal training business, I was clueless when it came to fitness business marketing tips. I wish someone made a list like this for me!My problem was that I had crappy sales skills!The very first marketing task I tried out was sending out 500 postcards by direct mail.The results from that weren't too bad. I actually got more than 10 appointments scheduled (when I started I was doing training in-home). When I met with these people, I didn't have a clue what to do, so I wasn't able to close the deal with any of the prospects. This meant I had spent $1,000 and I didn't get any clients - it wasn't a wonderful idea.This is why I'm always telling others to start on a small budget or with no budget until you're able to pay for the promotions that cost quite a bit more.So, I wanted to share a few fitness marketing strategies that you can use for free to market your business. The great thing is, whether you're just getting started or you're already in the business, you can use these strategies.1 - Set Up an Awesome Website - When I started my first website, it was bad.
