Some good advice on this thread.

CEF, you just need to get your sea legs under you in this industry. From your threads so far I observe a common thread... You lack confidence. You can be yourself -- a happy, motivating, high energy guy -- and still be able to lay down the law and be well liked and respected. In fact, you will be MORE liked and respected when you learn to stand up for yourself.

You have a great heart and a solid philosophy, but you don't seem to think that you deserve enough respect to be able to ask for money when your clients are due or to firmly draw your boundaries. You're in no way a prostitute... You just need to follow John's advice to the letter. That guy is just being a creep. It's up to you though, and when you figure stuff like this out I think you are going to be a fabulously successful trainer.
