As we all come out from behind our masks we may find that the hybrid in person/virtual business model is here to stay.

So I want to give you some options and share some of my favorite go to businesses and systems that I’m keeping this year.

Today as I do every year. I want to take a look at setting goals, new year's resolutions, all of those things that we do where we look back at the past year, and then we look forward to the next year and ask ourselves what is it that we want to do differently? And in today's podcast, I want to just put this out there, goal setting and choosing New Year's resolutions is a complete waste of time and I'm going to tell you why.

Nobody wants to admit they're traumatized because especially by people, they trusted to love them and empower them, keep them safe, blah, blah, blah, right? That I mean, that is horrible. That's a horrible, horrible thing to think the people who I needed to love me just didn't even give a right is about me to the point that they were hurting me, right. That's horrible. And I think that when we that being so awful, often prevents people from admitting like you know, what, maybe this is related to the fact that, you know, I had this horrible upbringing,..

I don’t care who you are, you are not a bottomless well of energy. 

Not only is your job to refill other people but you also have all the other obligations and expectations in your “real life” outside the gym and studio. If you discount these things or ignore them for too long that’s when the burnout creeps in.  And for fit pros that burnout can kill your career. So what do we do?

Part of my mission here on the work IN is to help equip fitness professionals with a bigger awareness of the overlap between physical and mental health so they can take their wellness beyond what the eyes can see. Not just so they can serve their health conscious clients better and level up their coaching skills but also so they can take care of themselves better.

Just because something feels easy to you does not mean that everyone can do it. You are unique in your particular zone of genius. Even though there are many, many people out there that teach what you teach, that are a coach of what you are a coach of that provide services the way you provide services, but they don't do it exactly like you because you are an individual and what you bring to the table. What feels easy to you does not feel easy to everyone else, and that's why they're going to hire you.
