Advice from a 10 Million Dollar Man - Certified Fitness Nursing

I usually don?t like to just copy someone else?s blog info.? But when I received this blog post from a distant mentor of mine, John Spencer Ellis, of NESTA and Spencer Institute, I had to put it on my blog post.? I actually spoke to John when I was just starting out.? He talked to me while he was driving on Pacific Coast Highway, I?m sure in his convertible, very matter-of-factly and precisely about ?my business? and what I should and shouldn?t do or allow.? I still follow his advice today.? He?s a 10 million dollar man, very very busy and for him to spend 30 minutes with me was so inspiring!

I thought that hearing these tips from someone else might help you and also show that I?m not the only one who is about taking inspired, imperfect action, finding your ?FAB 5?, and becoming the type of client you want to attract, and more.
Many of the principles he talks about below are what I?teach you and try to inspire you to do in?my Certified Fitness Nurse Coach (CFNC) program. ?

His info is in italics and quotes.

I promote him every chance I get.? Here?s most of the blog post:

?Examples of becoming more efficient:

- If you are plenty motivated, stop watching/listening to ?motivational? programs and watch/listen to educational programs that teach SPECIFIC SKILLS? instead.
- Stay away from lazy people who never get anything done and suck the last bit of life from your existence. Only surround yourself with ?A? players. No exceptions.
- When you have 5 tasks to do in a day (while out and about), think it through and make it as logical, seamless, and progressive as possible. Then take this skill into the remainder of your life.
- Don?t ?play on social media?.? Use Facebook and other similar sites with specific intent to connect, build relationships, share and acquire new business.
- Stop doing ANYTHING that is not working. I?m not talking about what you are testing or just starting.? There isn?t enough info yet to say it?s good or bad.? I?m saying if you have been doing a specific business strategy, marketing tactic, training method or advertising format, and it?s not getting a good ROI (return on investment), STOP IT NOW! You have to know your numbers, and you must live by your numbers.
- Implement more group training or coaching.? I?m not saying NEVER offer one-on-one programs.? There is a time and place.? I?m saying that you will never come close to optimizing your efficiency if you do not offer group programs.? Group programs can include online coaching, online training, membership programs, transformation contests, boot camps, group personal training and many others.
- Get a coach to help you become more efficient with your business development. Why waste time? It does NOTHING for you. Time is the only thing you can never get back.
- Model (observe and emulate) efficient people. Do what they do in a way that works for your business, career and niche.

This is how I (John Spencer Ellis) have become highly efficient:
1. I hire a coach for anything I want to improve (business, martial arts, social media, communication, technology, neuro health/performance, etc). I consult 3- 6 coaches each week.
2. I have my day structured into blocks of time, and I do not deviate. I know where I will be and what I will be accomplishing each moment of the day. This applies to ?free/fun? time.
3. I have a specific work/rest cycle for computer work. 2 hours on and 15 minutes off. Repeat for the ?work? portion of my day. In the 15 minute rest period, I do a yoga posture, use the foam roller, drink water and have a healthy snack like an avocado.? THIS WORKS!!!
4. I only hang out with ?A? players. I refuse to be around negative people who are energy vampires. People who bitch, whine or complain cannot be my friend. My martial arts coaches are all world or national champions, or the world?s experts in their discipline. My ?life coaches? are at the top of the industry. My technology consults have created some of the Internet?s best technologies. Why get the second best, right? I belong to mastermind groups with the top fitness and coaching entrepreneurs in the industry. SMART PEOPLE!!! We freely share best practices, and help each other. And, you guessed it?. if people complain, or are a huge pain in the ass, they are out of the group WITHOUT WARNING.? This all may sound harsh or direct?.. it likely is.? It works, and I invite you to try it for yourself and watch how your life and business quickly evolve to the next level.

In short?.

Most people are highly inefficient. This leads to frustration, lack of results, poor performance and LACK OF MONEY! Ya?. that sucks!?

JSE is very structured, yet very successful.? You don?t have to have his level of discipline, but again probably won?t have his level of success?and that?s o.k.? But there are points above that you just can?t argue with to move forward.? I hope you take heed to some of them and take action that moves your fitness nursing dream forward.

The next CFNC course will be in late October/early Nov. 2012.? Please look for
e-mails announcing preview calls, mentoring and courses.
