2007-11-12T12:04:00.000Z

What a bad boy i am... first of all... someone went into my car on friday- my brand new one that is... and i couldnt get home in time for the first mastermind call.

Then.... did a bit of work friday afternoon on my 12 days of fitness stuff.

Saturday i went to the big wear/tyne derby and ended up legless and spent all of sunday in bed recoverring!!! feeling worse for wear today still too!! fired another client today.. after only 1 session!! should never have took this lady on so slapped wrists all round here

the weekend away form the computer may have done me good though soo.. back to it this week!

Fancy a quicky?!?!?

2007-11-06T16:39:00.000Z

A couple of things i decided to change about the way i do things: Dax always says put into action at least 1 thing you learn from each book you read. So this weekend, whilst reading the 4 hour workweek by tim ferriss (great book, get it) is to have shorter timeframes to do things and do have shorter to do lists... check this out..

I created my first e-book-, granted, a pretty small one for dax's 12 days of fitness in ONLY an hour and half!!! pretty rough but hey.. I'm not seeking perfection...unless you're a lady wth GSOH, loves to cook... oops wrong blog!!!

I also called in a 'favour' from a designerto make my book look pretty!!!

Anyway yesterday i sent out an email invite to my list you can view it on my other blog that you can view here:http://www.personaltrainernortheast.blogspot.com/

Within 2 hours I've actually had to change the venue so i can accomodate the 32 people who have so far signed up!! wooop

I've sent out 2 press releases today and written another artcicle too!

Set the ball rolling to have an end of bootcamp party, (note to self, NO SAMBUCA)

Great call today, will post again this evening to get onto tweaking my gatekeeper!!

2007-11-01T21:50:00.000Z

This post has been edited hugely due to negative energy floating around..... PS I'm a bad ass trainer. AMEN.

Anyway... Mr Mort still hasnt done his excellence module but has booked a weekend in leeds... to do amongst other things: finish the excellend stuff, write my follow up emails, set up auto responders for my bootcamp clients, write a seminar and the ads for it, write the ads for my 'pilates in the pub course' and finish the 4 hour workweek!!!I may not get all of this done but as they say.. shit i cant remember what they say.....

Anyone know the crack with the masterminding??

The Earl Of South Shields!!!

Earl Nightengale's formula
DEMAND - How much demand is there for what you do?

ABILITY - How able are you to meet the demand?

DIFFICULTY TO REPLACE - How hard would it be to replace you right now?

Yes Jerry Hill, my lazy ass nicked that bit straight off your blog!!

Strange night last night- after getting lots done yesterday, i had a networking event in my hometown where 300 people would be attending, great opportunity to drum up business right?? Sorry to let you down... but i just didnt want to be there!!! I wanted to be working on my business- not making small talk with people who I felt obliged to almost 'push' what i did onto them... is this right or wrong?? i dont know.. maybe i should have been networking and selling coz apprently clients are everywhere... BUT i feel like people should come and ask for me, about me, search me out... I shouldnt be forcing anything ?!?!?

So....... I've now decided for the first time EVER to head to leeds for the weekend, stay in a nice hotel and work on my business in a different environment... might work, might not!! anyone in this area who fancies lunch zap me an email and we'll get our heads together!!

Demand: There is a HIGH demand for health and fitness in general but for a system such as mine that DELIVERS 100% of the time, the demand should be huuuuge!!

Ability: Here's a piece from my site: If You're looking for a personal trainer in the North East who can absolutely promise you'll drop a clothes size in the next 28 days then look no further.
In fact you'll struglle to find a personal training company in the North East that can guarantee just that AND who'll give you your money back if you don't achieve that success.

Why is that? Why don't they PROMISE RESULTS with a money back guarantee?

We'll let you find answer to that one. We have unconditional faith in our life changing system because it works and it works like nothing else you've ever experienced.

I whole heartedly think I am THE best in my area in the fat loss field. FULL STOP.My Sysem work 100% of the time- unlike sex panther (for those of you that have seen the awesome movie anchorman) which "80% of the time it works everytime"

Difficulty to replace: SOLID!! becasue I'm the best and constantly commited to growing I am ahead of the pack. Simple as that. Are there people who know more exercises than me? probably. are there people who have more qualifications than me? definatley. But no-oen can deliver results like me. The issue i have with this is will it make it harder to employ people- do people train with my company becasue of me and my personality or do they train for the results? think it could be a combo of both!

Outcome: I love working with my clients. The gatekeeper strategy and 'rules' i have in place make it a great environment!! I dont charge per hour i charge by results. Here is a typical package :
the 6 week body transormation package- I guarantee a clothes size drop in the first 28 days!

1. KCA- this helps me get results twice as quick as anyone else as well as making sure you don't get injured ( details attached)

2. Body Fat Analysis, complete with graphs showing progress

3. Full Nutritional Guidance- including menus, recipes and weekly food diary analysis

4 A fully comprehensive 6 week fitness program with digital pictures, which can be done in less than 35 minutes either at home or at the gym- no equipment required

5. 5 1-1 coaching/fitness sessions with me- 1 per week

6. Before and after Photos if required

7. Unlimited email support

8. 24/7 mon-fri Text support

9. 2 free bootcamp sessions!

The price on this varies but works out at around 38 a session- a session may be 30 mins or an hour- however long it takes! I think i am worth more than this- but can i charge more??? hmmmm food for thought- january may see me charge more!

Conclusion: seems like i had a bowl of confidence for breaky today!! blowing my own trumpet an all that (just imagine that eh guys???) . Onto Dax's excellence module now!!

I want never gets!??!?!

2007-10-29T21:55:00.001Z

Hmmm.... mama always told me ' I want Never Gets!'

Whey aye mother!! (whatever mum, to my un-geordie friends!)

So heres what i want from the next 6 months, in no particular order- IN FACT ITS NOT WHAT I WANT, ITS WHAT I'M GONNA GET!! THERE YOU GO DUDES- I SAID IT... QUOTE ME!

I want the systems in place and the money in the bank to open my own studio by decemeber 08

I want the tools and templates to write easy, effective ads and press releases

I want a steady, flow of referalls from clients getting amazing results

I want an e-book, a membership site and a fitness DVD bringin in AT LEAST a grand a month

I want a huuuuge internet presence

I want to change my limiting self beliefs

I want all of the things i think I'm worth

I want an effetive plan for prioritzing tasks and COMPLETING THEM

I want to learn hot to stay motivated to complete a task

I want to learn how to start a project from scratch and manage it

I want to appear on TV and in a ladies magazine

I want to employ a full time trainer to take on some of my workload and not worry about paying them

I want to learn how to manage my finances effectively

I want to learn how to make SERIOUS money in ONE HIT when i need a cash boost

I want to learn how to get EVEN better results for my clients

I want to learn how to overcome obstacles until i achieve my goals

I want to continue taking action like i am now and keep going and going until everything is completed and taking action and strecthing myself becomes a habit

I am loved... and GOOSED!!

2007-10-29T21:48:00.000Z

Okay dudes, time for another post from your uncle paul... its 21:48 and I've been working almost flat out since 6am.. and managed to throw some irons about in the gym tonight...

So its the what am I worth bit again- Dax's post at some STUPID O'CLOCK last night has inspired me:

So what is the mighty mortdogg worth?

I am worth not worrying about where my next client and cheque is coming from.
I am worth not being bothered about how i'm goin to make my new car payment or pay my rent.
I am worth not having to 'miss out' on learning, growing and developing because i 'dont have the money right now'.
I am worth not having to squeeze in a training session because i've been so 'busy' working 'in my business.
I am worth only working four days a week.
I am worth a week off- be it at home or away (summer bay esq, donald fisher, alf stewart etc) every 6-8 weeks.
I am worth not having to stay in on a weekend because i dont have the money to go out.
I am worth never having to 'borrow' money again.
I am worth every penny my clients, customers etc spend on me or ANY product of mine.
I am worth having optimal health and great quality sleep.
I am worth having a team of trainers underneath me.

I am worth at least 100k a year!!

Peace OUT!!

SUNDAY BLOODY MORNING!?!?!?

2007-10-28T10:18:00.000Z

DAX you have me possessed my friend!!

Thos of you that know me, should know what sunday mornings are for: getting out of bed with a stinking hangover to go and freeze my ass off on a footie pitch and get kicked from pillar to post!! niiice

INSTEAD- yes dax this if your fault!
I am sitting here,Fresher than a steaming turd, asking myself how much I'm worth.

This is possibly the toughest question ever. I dont believe it charging by the hour- thats simply swapping my valuabe time for others money. I charge for results. which is, if you must break it down, works out at around 38 an hour- i have a phobia of the £ sign believe it or not! Now considering i have REALLY limiting self beliefs- only around money may i add (think this is down to my rough geordie upbringing!) I charge more than most trainers in my area.

So again, what am i worth- I believe i'm worth around 100k a year (no £ sign again!) as a mobile trainer, as i also believe my earning are limited due to being mobile, I think this is another limiting factor- as i know dax will come back with 'why are you only limited to 100k a year paul?". I am just not comfortable putting other trainers into peoples homes.having said that- with some awesome ideas for e-products etc this figure can easily be reacher- after all, and i quote "money flows freely and easily to me, for the greater good of all"

But.... my goal for 2008 is to get my own studio up and running.... watch this space!!

Dax's First and Second Tasks...

2007-10-27T11:40:00.000+01:00

DONE!!!

first request this time around was the telephone script... I'd already worked on this last time round so that was easy..DONE

Second request was to write an article that Dax is going to put into an e-book which we're all collaborating on.... DONE

i can now relax for the weekend

Day 2... wow I'm gonna kick ass

2007-10-26T17:08:00.000+01:00

So day 2 is here, I did some weird things today:

I had and paid for an appointment with another trainer! I basically paid him and picked his brain for an hour. He is easily the most successful trainer in neighbouring newcastle and has recently done the charles poliquin bio signature course. So me being me, i went to have an assessment... WOW!! this system is amazing... any of you guys seen it or done it? I know where my next course well be.... money VERY well spent.

I taught my first spinnign class for more than 2 years! basically i gave up freelance teaching because the money is crap and its pretty hard work.. but i miss it.. and have let my own fitness slip since my medial ligament injury.. so i thought to myself " why not get paid for training?" oh and promote myself to 20 people at the same time..

I set up this blog plus another one

I posted my now infamous 'does porridge make you fat?' article and wrote another which is now with dax!!

I held a meeting with a supplement supplier about sellign supps to my clients for commission.. went fairly well.

And now I'm off to continue my rehab from the knee injury at the gym... get posting guys!!

PS little tip- If you're like me and struggle reading... you can get the e-myth- which is the first book Dax recommends on itunes as an audio book- perfect for when you're driving!!!

PTSA ROUND TWO.... make every second count..

2007-10-26T11:46:00.000+01:00

Hey Everyone,
Quick intro, my name is Paul Mort, I'm a Fat Loss Expert or a 'look great naked' coach. I run a company called Precision Fitness based in a small town called South Shields, which is near Newcastle up in the North East (some nice keywords for the search engines thrown in there!)
I'm the guy on the calls with the strange accent!!

I was on dax's last course and must say it rocks, but as I said I fell behind and struggled to keep up. I actually missed the last 11 weeks of it through illness- I was actually off work for all of this time- lost a lot of clients and almost had to build my business from scratch again in the last 8 weeks or so! HOWEVER... the ilnness may have been a blessing in disguise as I'm now working with GREAT clients and getting AMAZING results with my MELT system that was developed with Dax.

My site is http://www.precisionfitness.co.uk and http://www.thefitnesscamp.co.uk if you wanna check them out

This time i inted to make the most of every minute of every day.. starting NOW. I;ve also set up another blog here:http://www.personaltrainernortheast.blogspot.com/ to post articles and stuff!!

Hope to have some contact with you all over the coming weeks and cant wait to meet you all at some point!
