Hi Guys
I hope you don't mind me dropping in like this but I heard about this discussion and, well, it's what I'm most passionate about so I thought I'd pop by and give you my 2 cents if that's ok?
In fact, this discussion fits in perfectly with
The Loser's Doctrine that I just published where I unleash my mad ramblings : ) about my own personal beliefs about success and failure (JP, I hope this is ok to mention it... I'm not selling anything or marketing through it, it's just an interest article and doesn't even run through a squeeze page).
Y'see, I reckon that failure, just like success has a scientific cause and effect 'recipe' and that many, many trainers (and others) are unwittingly following the losers doctrine despite verbalising that they want success.
Worse still, they have a tendency to view those who are becoming successful as being 'less' in some way as though their wealth and success has somehow meant that they have 'sold out' their beliefs and their abilities to serve as great coaches.
Clearly, this thinking pattern does not build positivity around gaining success for oneself (my Dad used to say that all people who drove brand new cars were show-offs and jerks, it took me until just 3 years ago to break free of that thought and buy something new for myself).
I won't harp on here guys but take a look at the doctrine over at
www.personaltrainersuccessacad emy.com/losersdoctrine.pdf and see what I'm talking about.
To your success
DAX
P.S - JP, we DID meet at bootcamp my friend, I did a roundtable with Alwyn, Ryan and Jim where we looked at Matt Schoebrook and Kevin Gianni's sites live onstage... we spoke after that : )
