Conversation with Dax

I am very fortunate to work with Dax at his studios in London. Not just because I get to learn all the knowledge on how to get results fast, but to get an idea of how his mind works.

Having a conversation with Dax today really got me thinking about how I should go about setting my own business up. The one thing that scares me more than anything is setting up a studio with all the overheads and being in debt from the start!

Considering I'm leaving Dax's studio in less than two weeks now, the very thought of it brings on immediate butterflies!

Dax is very good at inspiring people and helping people achieve their goals. However, today he set the record straight as to what I should do and how I should should go about doing it.

This was by no means negative but extremely practical.

What I learnt from our conversation...

I want a training studio because I want to be known as one of the best health and fitness coaches in the UK. I also want to make a lot of money.

So does that mean I need my very own place?

Having my very own place could quite easily lose me money (especially in the first year), having a high internet status could very well earn me money.

Having a place where I could have my own coaches and work in someone elses gym letting them worry about the overheads sounds much more appealing.

I think the main problem I first had with this idea was that Dax has such a high reputation as one of the UK's top trainers and he owns his own studio.

So what am I going to do about it?

Email, phone write to all the gyms in my area and make them an offer they can't refuse!

I'll keep you posted...

Master Mind Call 1

It’s Wednesday night about 9:55pm and I’ve just finished my consultation script. Really made me think about what needs to be put in place as far as exercise, nutrition and terms and conditions are concerned.

Anyway previous to that we (Mastermind group) have had our first master mind call and it was fantastic and really exciting.

Tim was in charge of the whole thing as he’s done it all before and it ran so smoothly.

We all started with our ‘round robin’ of breaking the ice and then started on any problems we have and each of us went through a solution. The great thing about this is although you may not currently have this problem, you end up with about 8 different ways to combat it if you did come along in the near future.

It really keeps you thinking on your feet and you also come up with solutions that you didn’t know you had.

I feel really privileged to be with the mastermind group that I am with as already it feels like everyone genuinely cares about each other problems.

And for anyone who does read this and was on the call. I’ve already phoned my girlfriend/fiancée (hate that word) and we’re taking up rock climbing again – in two weeks time.

P.S. Reason it’s posted on Thursday is because I have no internet access where I live and I’ve been back to back all morning.
