How It All Started

I get several questions everyday from people asking me the same question – “how did you get to where you are at such a young age?”. So, I thought I’d sit down before I head off to the health club for another 12-hour day and tell you how it all began.

You see 3 years ago I knew absolutely no one in the fitness industry and as far as I know no one knew me. I’d read every magazine I could get a hold of, every article that came out on the Internet, and I’d say to myself that one day I would be like all these other fitness professionals.

I didn’t know how or what to do but I knew that I wanted to be someone people looked to for fitness advice. Then I read an article by Eric Cressey (www.ericcressey.com) that totally changed my way of thinking about correct warm-up for athletes. For some reason I decided to email him and let him know my thoughts. To my surprise Eric emailed me back and so I began email him whenever I had questions on various areas of training.

After a few months I decided to ask Eric how he got to where he was in the industry. He had a DVD out, had a Off-Season Training Manual, and was writing for fitness magazines and websites. Eric told me that he had invested thousands of dollars in books, manuals, seminars, coaching etc. I asked for a list of what he would recommend.

The list he sent back was a mixture of training books, business manuals, and seminars I should attend. I pulled out my credit card and brought every single book that Eric had listed and signed up for the seminar.

From there I have continued to invest in myself by buying more books and manuals, as well as attending seminar after seminar. Every time I do this I learn something new and take another step forward in my career. I have wrote articles for magazines and various websites, have been interviewed by many of the top fitness experts, co-hosted a radio show, been editor for one of the largest sports training websites in the world, and am currently working along side two of the industries leading consultants Pat Rigsby and Nick Berry (www.fitnessconsultinggroup.com)

I am not telling you all this to toot my own horn but instead share with you some of the steps I have taken to get to where I am today in the hopes that maybe it will help some of you get to where you want to be in this industry.

Of course there are other things that have helped me get to where I am but I’ll save those for another email.

So, for those serious about becoming a top fitness expert the first thing you should do is start investing in YOU.

Talk to you soon
