Congratulations! Getting that certification in the mail is exciting. You earned it. You deserve to be proud of yourself for the work it took to get those official credentials. Now what? Getting any fitness professional certification is like being handed a recipe. And we all know that there’s a big difference between following that recipe to the letter and being a Michelin star chef. That’s our Work IN today. I’m going to share 5 Hard earned truths that make or break a fit pro career. 

 For new fit pros fresh off certification it can be very scary building a student base from scratch. Most certs don’t teach you how to do that. So a lot of us end up working for someone else and getting churned and burned out of the industry because it’s almost impossible to make a living wage from only instructor hourly pay from big box gyms. Not to say it can’t be done. But let’s just say that’s why for so many fit pros the fitness gig is the ultimate side gig and never really rises to the level of a career. 

But what if you want more than a side gig? What if you need more? What if you’re ready to elevate your professional credibility to a long and fulfilling career? That’s our Work IN today. Email marketing for the fit pro specifically mastering the give and the ask to build income business. 

The process of setting up a new business gives you an opportunity to create, test and set up systems, policies and organization to lighten the decision making load and save you time. If we can do it in our business we can do it in our personal life. And we should.

I had to really work on my own thinking of how I saw myself. So, seeing myself, not as an employee. But as the head of, you know this company at one. Right, yeah that's that I didn't expect that I thought okay you, I have the experience, the knowledge, the education. This is going to be a breeze, and it wasn’t.
