Our IFCA Legacy client Jenna is absolutely crushing it hitting 20k months and she recently made a very bold move.

Last summer, I wanted to burn IFCA to the ground and give up. A lot went into feeling like this at the time which I'll explain and that's not something I'm proud to admit but if you've ever felt like giving up, I want you to know you're not alone. I've learned a lot since then about confidence, competence, and feeling fulfilled as a business owner and human being.

We are starting a new series titled, " Ridiculously Dumb Stuff Trainers Do" because we are fans of Charlie Munger and what he calls inversion thinking. If we can turn a situation upside down and look at it backwards, we have a much higher likelihood of solving a problem when we know what not to do. In this first installment, we are going to discuss coaches trying to become "the best" and why that's holding them back. I want to share with you why being the "only" or most unique is superior and how to do that.   Time Stamps:   (1:32) Hybrid Health Summit (3:25) Different Over Being “The Best” (4:50) Being Yourself and Not Be Boring (5:08) 5 Reasons to Why to Not Be Boring (7:20) Our IFCA Client Vanessa (8:38) Having a Unique Offer (9:50) How to Stand Out More ---------- Whenever You’re Ready, Here Are 5 Ways We Can Help You (For Free) (Community) Join the Fitness Business Secrets FB  Community to Unlock Your Free 5 Clients in 5 Days Mini-Course (Content) Grab our exact post templates that are responsible for more than 3,500 online clients in our business Automated Post Planner   (Instagram) 3-5x Your Engagement, Grow an Audience and Generate Dream Clients from Instagram IG Playbook For Health & Fitness Coaches (Training) Get Access To The  5 Most Popular Training We Created in 2022 (Get Clarity) Schedule a FREE No-Obligation 15-minute Call to Explore How To Add 10,000/Mo to Your Business–Guaranteed
