It is definitely easier to give up when times are rough, but I realize that there is something to be learned from each experience... good or bad.

During the warm up I gave them a little hint about what the theme was about, '1 dead frog' and really got their curiousity spiked. Everyone was trying to think what the heck I was talking about. Gave a couple more hints to get them more confused and then right before the real workout started I told everyone the story about the frogs and then related it back to their peer group. It went really well and then after the workout everyone was talking about it and giving their ideas on it. And then to top it off the next day my theme was influence and I gave them 'homework' to exert some of their influence on their friends and family to get them on track. Results = 2 new clients starting the 21 day fat loss program 2 days later! I just used the idea of this post as a theme in my boot camp and it went extremely well.

Some great tips there too... you really need to come up with as many reasons as possible.. reasons that compell you to do what you do.. they give you purpose and that in turn provides the drive you need to stick fat and work through the challenges Cheers Jonathan AT Hey Jonathan

You always find a great way to turn your posts into stories and and make them both enjoyable to read and easy to remember. I've struggled with trying to lessen my time around my peer group and it definitely is an uphill battle most of the time. I find I always look back to my 'mission' or why I'm doing what I'm doing. If you don't have a strong reason why your doing something you can't stick to it. You don't have the passion behind it if you don't have that why. Sit down and really strongly think about why you are training people, running a boot camp etc. Go deep and once you find that reason why, the true reason, nobody can keep you down. Adam,
