2 Coaching Concepts
1.
When I was coaching nutrition, I’d do it by having them fill out a food log.
The instructions were simple, I:
- Gave them 3 identical pages (the food logs).
- Asked them to write in exactly what they ate and drank on two weekdays and one weekend day with the times.
- Told them to not worry about measuring anything, but to please self-assess whether it was a small, medium, or large portion.
- Said that I wasn’t going to look at their logs until they’ve submitted all three and we’re together.
We looked at their logs together and I asked them what they wanted to change.
That's all I ever did. It worked well.

Two quick ways to go the extra 10% for your clients:
a) Offer a post-workout snack:
Fruit or protein bars work well. Or, have fun and keep a peanut butter and jelly jar at your gym. Clients drop in change, you make PB & J for them.
b) Have a wall for their business cards

2 Business Nuggets
1.
Stop working "on your business".
'Business' isn't something to work on.
Break out the components of your business, prioritize them, and work on one thing at a time.
That's how you get better.

2.
Trying and failing results in the same thing as not trying; so you may as well try.
1 Quote to Consider
"It’s a mistake to try and force things to happen faster than what’s required. You’ll find yourself doing a lot and benefitting little. As the saying goes, 'you can’t make a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant'. Good things happen to patient people."
