Personal Trainer Business Post
Maybe we need a new forum for Personal Trainer business...anyways, I didn't know where to put this, but here is a link to a post from Patrick Rigsby's blog about the books he is currently reading...there are some very good ones for any one that wants to improve their business (most apply to all businesses):

That's a great idea Craig. I will set it up. I don't suppose you would mind being a forum leader in there?

I think that's an awesome idea! It'll come in real handy for me in a year or so...

You could even ask Patrick Rigsby...he might be best as the forum leader.
Plus, he would probably mention that to his list and get some more trainers over here.

This place feels like a saloon in the middle of Kansas in the late 19th century. Just sitting here, playing poker, and every other day or so in walks Buffalo Bill... then Wild Bill... then Calamity Jane... then Wyatt Earp... luckily, without the chance of getting gunned down... (though I suspect Alwyn could kick my ass through the internet!) hehe...

You might find that some of the members are more than just enthusiast when it comes to some of these other areas. It could be some interesting dialog.

Would anyone be able to post there and ask questions, or would it be private?

Just adding my 2cents...I think it's a great idea to have a section for PT business. All of us potential PT's could learn a lot from it as well  |

I don't currently have PT aspirations, but I would be interested in seeing ideas and concepts from trainers on that aspect of things, cause....you just never know!

Thanks for the kind words. I'd be happy to help J.P. and everyone else here any way that I can. I've been browsing the posts and there is so much great info here. I may have to allow myself a specific block of time just to read your blog and this forum each day!
