The Most Awesome Industry EVER

I’m writing this blog post 39,000 feet up in the air.

We’re somewhere over Texas heading back to So Cal. from Orlando Florida.

Fitness Info Summit was off the hook!

…if you were there, then you know what a blast it was, and based on the comments on this blog and the feedback we got at the event the content we delivered was out of this world!

I want to thank the awesome presenters for giving the BEST stuff they had. Craig BallantyneVince DelMonte, and Steve Hochman brought the THUNDER.

Of course it was easy for us to deliver our best stuff considering the audience was so HIGH ENERGY and AWESOME… All we had to do was feed of the energy.

It was magical.

And speaking of magical…

I want to congratulate everyone in the picture below. These are the fitness pros who were accepted into the “Your Next 100K” Info Marketing Mastermind Group. The next 12 months is going to be VERY magical for them.

After the FIS ended my family and I stayed another four days and enjoyed Orlando. We did the Disney Animal park and spent two days at the Magic Kingdom.

Good times all around.

But the energy at the hotel changed the rest of the week. It got a stale. A little weird. The energy was gone.

Then I figured it out…

there was a new conference happening in the hotel. A conference for electrical engineers.

And they’re not like you and me.

They’re different.

They’re older…

They’re frumpy…

They’re too stiff…

They take themselves too serious…

They dress in cheap collared shirts and old suites NOT because they want to but because they feel have to.

Then I realized it.

They (almost all of them) hated their lives. It was SO obvious. I could see it in their eyes.

And that’s when I realized that we’re in the BEST profession EVER you and me. And it was totally obvious this past weekend at Fitness Info Summit.

We’re fitness professionals.

We help folks change their lives!

We’re NOT the problem… we’re the SOLUTION.

We bring the energy, passion, enthusiasm and purpose because we went into this industry for the right reasons… TO HELP OTHERS.

And as a by-product of helping other we have the ability to earn more than electrical engineers, attorneys, doctors and other “typical” white collar jobs.

I’m not saying that other industries suck… we need them and I’m glad they’re there.

I’m just saying that the fitness industry kicks major ass!

For us it’s not a JOB. It’s a CALLING.

And there’s no other industry that can deliver SO MUCH value, change so many lives and impact so many people AND still have a TON of fun.

I love the fitness industry for all those reasons.

How about you?… What do you love most about the fitness industry?
