    I was just thinking about that this weekend - my plan is to spend 80% of my time doing cold outreach on all channels (immediate sales) and 20% of my time making content (which will pay off in the long run)

    I guess the one benefit of cold calling vs going in person is the # of conversations I've had. I've been able to have conversations with at least 30 gym owners in the past couple of months and got really good insights into their problems and challenges. Only about 10 of those people moved...

    I love that - just getting out there and talking to anybody and everybody without expectations - everybody knows a guy who knows a guy, etc. but you'd never know unless you say "hello!"

    Has anyone looked into Skool? It's a community platform created by Sam Ovens that allows you to create paid communities and host courses in one platform (traditionally, one would need to host on a platform like Kajabi and have a separate Facebook group) I've been seeing a lot of creators...

    The Week of August 21st, 2023 I am getting so so close to signing my first client. I know once I get passed the initial Zero to One, I'm hoping the snowball effect can start to kick in. Averaged about 100 cold calls a day this week but I'm going to be doing much more starting next week, when...

    Any good self-management books?

    BOOKS 
    From my experience, you have to make it as easy as possible to do the work. What does that mean? - Delete all social media apps - Have a consistent sleep and wake routine - EAT THAT FROG first thing in the morning (do the hardest and most important task first) - Plan out your day in advance...

    How To Go From a Scarcity To an Abundance Mindset. This changed my life.

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    I always wondered who the allusive "Pain Brush Cover Guy" was from the books. Thanks a lot for this post and can't wait to look through your previous ones! :) Curious, how much time do you spend specifically working on your mindset everyday? From my understanding, the mindset should be 10-20%...

    It's been a while since my last update here...cold calling's been going alright, volume has been up and down though throughout the weeks. My appointment booking rate is about 1% right now. I have a VA scraping leads for me now which has saved a ton of time - been experimenting with Loom email...

    Tried that the last couple of days and went super well. Was feeling pretty unmotivated yesterday but took it one call at a time - ended up making just under 100 calls! I have honestly not been to any new gyms to do guest workouts yet....on the bright side, I did connect with a pretty successful...

    The Week of July 31st, 2023 Late to post an update - solid week overall, I am SO CLOSE to signing my first client - had a great call with a gym owner who just recently bought the location a few months ago. The gym is currently not very profitable, but members have doubled in the past 6 months...

    What improved your life so much that you wish you did it sooner?

    Simple daily action - When Huberman recommended it, I started taking a walk outside every morning as soon as I woke up and it changed my life. Clears my mind, energizes me, and helps me fall asleep at night. Combine that with a cold shower right after and BAM! You're charged up for the whole...

    Interesting perspective, never really thought about it that way. IMO choice of the gym also depends on things like location, price, and equipment. The local gym I go to is pretty small but it's only 3 min away from my house, so I'm more inclined to go. If I went to a bigger gym that was 15 min...

    Wow...I need to adopt more of your mentality - that's such a great idea to help a gym owner for free in exchange for a referral. It's gonna be worth way more than the $1K or $2K that I would charge them in the long run and I would learn so much. For sure, in conjunction with cold calling, I'm...

    Hey @WJK appreciate the response! So I have helped a couple of other business owners get some success in different industries (helped a startup get their largest client to date) - yes, it was not directly with gym owners but the conviction and confidence to help them is there. And from my...

    The Week of July 17th, 2023 It was a humbling week, here are the stats: Nowhere close to the 100 dials and 20 emails per day metrics I set for myself. And a straight-up zero day on Thursday (mindset binging). BUT, there is some data that I've been able to work with and I came to a few useful...
