Forget becoming an influencer. Just because you can sell to the world, it doesn’t mean that you have to––and it’s definitely not where you start. Building a business and becoming an online entertainer are different games people play––neither’s better or worse but problems arise when you conflate the two––playing by the rules of one and desiring the rewards of the other. It’s not about being the best choice for everyone. It’s about being the obvious choice for the right people. Whether you’re new or you’ve been on this journey for years, I want to show you all the ways you can succeed on your own terms: without compromising personal relationships, wellbeing, and your quality of life. Here’s what I mean: PROBLEM The industry’s saturated The cost of entry to the fitness industry is close to zero. Certifications are cheap and easy and online you don’t even need one. Anybody can create content on their phone and build an audience. So, how do you stand out? SOLUTION There’s more opportunity than ever! 30 clients paying you $300 a month will earn you $108,000 yearly. That’s only 30 customers. Breathe easy. You don’t need 1,000s of followers. Instead, figure out the 1% that makes you different, market like a human , and go all in. PROBLEM Competing with $$Billion$$ companies Massive companies now offer great looking professional apps. Influencers and celebrities are putting out their own programs. You just want to help people but you don’t want to look like a mess to your clients. SOLUTION Elevate your brand (for free.)

It reduces barriers to program adherence!” ABOUT ME How I can help you avoid burnout and reach new heights Hi, I’m Jonathan Goodman , and I started training clients one-on-one in a University gym in 2005. I loved the job, but the 6AM starts left me burnt out. There was no time for anything; I just wanted a girlfriend. I never tried to be an overnight success. I never added marketing guru” or social media personality” to my resume. Honestly, I walked a more obvious path, and that road led me to where I am today. Our industry is beautifully-flawed. Unfortunately, many of my colleagues have already burned out and failed, exciting fitness, leaving their passions behind. They never got the tools and guidance that they needed. And as social media turned into the overcrowded influencer machine it is today, I’ve watched even more people sprint down the same road with no end in sight. It sucks. So, I’ve dedicated this phase of my career to helping you make more money, have more freedom, and help more people. This site is full of free and paid resources from 1,500+ free articles, to a top-ranked podcast , to free professional personal trainer software , to paid business mentorship . Exploration is my guiding principle. From world travel to exploring business ventures, there’s no one best way. Instead, it’s up to us to find our way of living and working. And I hope what you find here helps you on your journey to finding yours.
