Can I have a secret with you?
Many years ago, I almost chose a career in fitness. In my 20 years, I modeled for Reebok and Ironman magazine, made the finals to host a TV show of fitness, and moonlight as an aerobics instructor and personal trainer for several years while I figured out how from my job in publishing .
Now I make a living online, I'm still doing time for my health. And I'm happy to live near the most famous gym in the world:Gold Gym in Venice Beach, California. On a daily basis, are as bodybuilding legend Lou Ferrigno and various men named "Gunther," athletes like Kobe Bryant and Lisa Leslie, and celebs like The Rock surrounded. The place is an absolute circus, and I like the fun factor.
When I first went gold a few years ago, I have not paid much attention to the "muscle heads" - the professional bodybuilder. But I realized they can teach us a lot of marketing and businessSuccess. Here are seven lessons that we can all learn.
1 Stay around people who have similar.
Bodybuilders and aspiring bodybuilders from all over the region come Oro in Venice, because it is the home of bodybuilding. I know a few bodybuilders who drive almost an hour just to work out there. Of course, they could in their perception of the neighborhood Bally's, but make the trip to their Mecca every day through the arduous traffic in Los Angeles.
Why? They know that ifThey hang around people who do this, do you want, you are automatically a better chance of success. The furious energy of gold can not be denied when you enter the door. They are surrounded by global competitors, gold medal winners and celebrities. It is not only motivating and challenging, but there is a wealth of knowledge around you, too.
Who are you around? (Pensateci.)
2 Consistency is the key to lasting success.
Bodybuilders knowthat a body built for a long period of time. And even if they take a break, are fast walk again because of all the training they have done over the years. It's called "muscle memory" - your body remembers the shape and tighten again.
Similarly, our clients and customers have "marketing memory." That is, while we are ahead of them, at regular intervals, then they will remember who we are - even if we take a break. (And what better way to stay ahead of them, asPublishing an e-zine! (Check out [http://www.boostbizezine.com])
3 Ups and downs are a part of the process.
Bodybuilders know that success comes in cycles. And 'physically harmful to them trying to be the "full force" more than a couple of times a year. They know their limits and push them, but do not break.
Marketing has cycles as well. It can be hard hitting for a while ', then again just a little'. Do not worry if it is a "down". To ensure immediatefollow with an "up". Go back to your marketing program or to mix and do something else.
4 The hard work is part of the game.
Bodybuilders do not wake up and say: ". I do not like writing feel today" They just. Become a part of their program, part of their lives. And that ensures their success.
How many of us secretly wish our success would have been served to us on a silver platter? They are all attracting success on whatever level you can, but hey, let's seethere is work involved. The solution is to have fun hard work to do what I love to do and delegating what you do not.
5 Other models already do, you want to do.
Bodybuilders do not try to invent their own training programs from scratch. You see what the top competitors, and they do the same. From weightlifting to cardio diet, have an exact formula.
Do not reinvent the wheel when there are others who have alreadyHe scampered down. Find other models of entrepreneurs who do this, do you want, e. Important: Do not model ones who are doing little enthusiasm. The best model, those who experience the immense success that you dream about!
6 Find a mentor or coach for faster results.
I do not know any sample, from where he / she only knew. Every bodybuilding competitor hires a trainer or a coach who has been there and can in every step of the way on foot. Thiscost them a lot of money? You bet. But they do not know how much the search. You see what it's worth. They're fast forwarding their success, and that is priceless.
I know many entrepreneurs who are thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars on websites, and training programs that have nothing or that they had wasted in the wrong direction. Do not make this mistake - I've been there. Stop struggling and invest in someone to show you the way - the right way - the first time. (Notyou know where to start?

7 Show what you have!
You can be sure the bodybuilding gurus at Gold's are not meek about their successes. They show their hard work with outfits that emphasize their assets. (Oh, the stories I could about some of the costumes that are there to say! Lace catsuit, anyone?)
Although not all (still) do not show what you have to do. Strut your stuff and betterToot the horn right. You're doing a disservice to the world if we all know, has to offer you and your company.
