Keep your chin up, StrengthCoach! I know it can be easier said than done. The highs and lows can really suck...trust me, I know. I used to get really bummed about the "lows" but after a few years as a trainer I came to realize that that's one of the "rubs" we must deal with. I personally view the "tough times" as opportunities to step outside the box, so to speak, and challenge myself. I am an eternal procrastinator, and what i've realized is that when there's a fire under my ass, that's when I make things happen. Find ways to reach more people. Email a few clients I haven't talked to in a while. That kinda stuff.
It's about to be 2009. As much as I detest the "new years resolutions" stuff, use that as a selling point! Talk to your current clients and see if anyone's interested in purchasing a few sessions for one of their friends/relatives. See if there are any holiday gala-type-things that may have auctions...donate a few sessions to them. You can find opportunities if YOU seek them out!
