If your program is laid out so that the person can do well then you have a win/win.
Yes, I am disciplined and probably easier to work with than most, but people like Leigh and Alan have large and very succesful consultation businesses and work with people all over the world. These are people with varying degrees of discipline. My guess is that they have systems in place that provide for all different sorts of people not just the very disciplined.
For me (and for many others) this sort of training works on many levels better than in person training. It will be interesting to see what you discover RE this as you get more into your first e-customer.
Oh and yes I am training for body recomp (ie: bodybuilding) and hoping to hit the stage one time or two before I am too old to stand up straight and strike a pose. LOL!

Very, very good point! Now you got my brain workin'. As humans, we are programmed to survive...aka succeed...each of us has different "tools" for success...some people need more help than others. Therefore, the mark of an effective fitness professional would be the ability to recognize what "tools" an individual lacks, provide them with said tools, and at the same time capitalize on the individual's strengths. Ahhh...deep thoughts!
I feel the need to blog now!
I'm excited for you! I have the feeling you'll hit the stage more than once or twice! That's awesome!
