At the very end of one of my first Fitness Business Kickstart weeks I was sitting on the couch communicating via direct message with some participants who were still on the fence about joining the full Accelerator program while my Dad and my husband watched sports. Before I went to bed I made an off hand remark about how I had just made $10K by having those extra conversations.

And then I saw it...

The look on my Dad's face.

Shock, disbelief, doubt.

Then came the questions - ""well I don't understand, how can you make that much money just sitting here on the couch?"", ""How do they make their money back?"", and ""Is what you are doing legal?"

If you were raised in a family like mine your parents were working people who lived pretty much paycheck to paycheck. The thought of making $10K extra in a night while sitting on the couch just isn't something most people can wrap their brains around. It literally blows their brain up.

And I think this is what keeps a lot of us from charging appropriate prices for our transformational programs. The thought of asking someone to hand over a substantial sum of money as the first step in their commitment to their health blows our brains up.

Today we are talking about transformational programs, how they change lives, and why price is a big part of that transformation.

Listen in to learn :

- Why the method we normally use to determine price is DEAD wrong

- How to develop your confidence around offering your program to the right people

- How to serve at the highest of your ability without compromise

Many of you have heard me talk about some negative experiences I had in the corporate world (prior to starting my marketing agency in 2014). I like to refer to mysef as 'fundamentally unemployable' because I truly am a born entrepreneur and coach. Which does mean that some of those I can attribute some of those negative experiences to my own self. That being said, as I prepared for this talk I kept coming back to some of the times when, as a leader, I really needed guidance from my leaders, and wasn't able to find it. Hindsight being 20/20 it's easy for me to look back and see how much some of those specific situations would have benefitted from MY finding the right mentor or coach. What have you tried to help you build your business into a profitable and enjoyable venture?? A true coach is someone who will step up with honest and transparent guidance to help us leverage our strengths, see opportunities for improvement, and make course corrections when necessary. It is a fact that we can all speed up results and improve outcomes when we have guidance from the right mentor. Someone who has done what you are trying to do and can help you avoid the mistakes. People don't like to guess at the issues if they don't have to. Having an open, honest, compassionate, and relyable coach to guide us, stretch us, recognize and call us out on our thought loops, and cheer us on the whole way can save us year in our business building experience. So why don't we all have one? Some fear the risk, some don't know if they are ready, and some wonder if it really works. Today's talk is for those who are coach-curious, but not exactly ready to take the plunge. The Four Main Characteristics are : - Ready to get uncomfortable - Resourceful AF - Invest in the vision - Interested in and excited about taking messy action that is guided by strategy and experience - Not a special snowflake that doesn't need to follow the system - Willing to make mistakes quickly and move on to the next mistake

What if I told you there are ways to use your current skill set to make more money right away EVEN IF you don't want to run your own business or hustle for new clients?

"How to double your income this week without starting a business or hustling for new clients." I know that's a big promise. but if you know my personal story you know I can deliver the goods. I have built two multi-six-figure businesses from the ground up, and I teach my clients to do the same.

So many fitness pros are doing the time-for-money merry-go-round - tearing their bodies up for some dollars and feeling stuck without options. If you are watching it's probably because you are feeling the strain.

We get used to the idea that the only way to make more money is to work more - trade more hours for more dollars. But the one thing we NEED to learn as service providers (and we can borrow this from the world of entrepreneurialism) is that time is the MOST expensive commodity. It's the only thing we can't get back or make more of. Time is our most precious resource.

And that is even more true in professions where our body is a major part of the service delivery mechanism. We simply can't afford to spend more time leading workouts that wear us down mentally and physically. So stick around, because I am about to give you 3 ways to create more income doing what you love. Let's get started.

Debbie Bellenger has a storied career history in fitness and wellness. NOT ONLY has she been a well respected presenter, speaker, and master trainer for Reebok AND TRX.

But she also led major corporate systems in creating wellness programming for their employees and clients.

So when she decided to leave her corporate job to start a company she had a lot of work to do.

Listen in as Debbie recounts her beginnings and her first 90 days in business. She was able to get her program up and running WHILE securing 3 consulting clients. That's a lot of work, and she's well on the way to replacing that corporate salary.

Full disclosure : her first step was to join my Accelerator program. And she has never looked back.

Ever walk into the gym with that feeling? You know the one - dread, resentment, exhaustion? The feeling that this is all just too much and you aren't sure if you can do it even one more time?

Burnout is real, and is something that effect many front line workers, including those in fitness and wellness.

Just because we do something we absolutely love, and in many cases would do for free, that doesn't make us immune from burnout.

The good new is : it means you are a high performer. You care so much that it has just become too much. Burnout is the symptom, the problem is that the weight of your caring is greater than your capacity for doing. Today we are going to talk about recognizing the symptoms, nipping it in the bud before it starts, and coming back from it once it has set in.

Stay with me to the end because we are going to cover :

- how to stop it before it starts
- recognizing and nurturing a sustainable work plan
- How to come back once it has happened.
