How to Create Your Future Fitness and Health Coaching Success

See it, believe it, do it. 

Was that Wayne Dyer who said that? 

Well, today it’s often Joe Dispenza saying it based on science. 

Whether you keep replaying things you don’t want to happen, things that you wish were different, things you wish you had done differently, you think about the future and wonder what is possible, OR you vision what you want and you act AS IF… you will be right to create your future fitness and health coaching success.

Based on the proven science (I’ll link to Joe Dispenza’s work) that your brain does not know the difference between an intention tied to a strong emotion and an actual situation happening, you can create and attract exactly what you want.

To illustrate this, consider it for yourself. Are you thinking about needing to make more money, feeling like your business is not as successful as you want it to be? Or about your own weight gain in menopause, your belly fat, or your feelings of inadequacy in some way or another?

Do you think about having to work hard all the time to get what you want? Or about having to play a role in your family that prevents you from being as successful as you want? Do you think about being limited with opportunities in your current situation? 

  • And what is true of your current revenue and business? 
  • Does it match? 
  • Which came first? 

Write your future self a letter. 

Or your future customers, members, or students a letter. 

My Letter to Members:

I’ll share a note I recently wrote to my Flipping 50 membership legacy group. That’s those that have been members 3 or more years, and a considerable amount since 2016 when I first opened. 

This was following an outreach specifically to them. I realized in writing it, I’ve been lucky. I’ll share why after I read it. 

Exactly 10 Years ago from a house on UTAH DRIVE in Ames, Iowa at this time I was about to pay the first check to the university my son would begin in August. I had virtually no revenue. I’d quit everything in January to go 100% in. The regular paychecks stopped coming 3 months later after training my replacements… I was in front of my computer 14-16 hours a day learning, building, and feeling VERY much like a beginner after 30 years of establishing expertise. I’d not done it online.

I had no idea I would be where we are today, having the privilege to meet and work with so many women who INFLUENCE so many lives … and the health of others. 

I am grateful for you. You were first… and you are still here.

I Failed the Future Fitness and Health Coaching Success Strategy!! 

Why did I fail? A couple of key statements there!! 

“I had no idea I would be where we are today”  is one clue! 

I didn’t have a specific vision. Not one I was invested in. About 2015 I attended a conference and considered joining my first mastermind… that scared me to death! It was a huge investment. (By the way, since then I’ve invested over $160,000 in various masterminds alone. That’s not including conferences, retreats, programs, and work to surround myself with people who are doing what I want to be next but am not yet. 

Now, it worked out. And there are some who would say, when you jump – and I did – the net will appear. 

That’s for those of you who are still playing it safe. No judgment if you LIKE right where you are. But if you’re clinging to your full-time, regular paycheck and benefits thinking you’ll never get there with your own business, it will be absolutely true. 

Playing it safe isn’t what entrepreneurs do. You can, however, be a wonderful and valuable coach. Just be sure that you are very comfortable with yourself… no use of the word “JUST” in reference to what you’re doing. Modify your language so you reflect exactly why you do what you do and exactly what success looks like to you!! We women tend to belittle ourselves. 

I just want you to be honest. 

Do you really want what you have… or do you want more, something different? 

Go get it if you do!!

Combine Room for MORE with a Vision

I may have mentioned this, my son is going to start his own business. That’s a risk. I’m excited for him. I’m not nervous for him in terms of success. Maybe in terms of stress and challenges and personal growth that occurs when you go all in, but that’s also a part of the excitement. He could settle for working the way he’s working…. Or he can take a risk and have potential that is based solely on what he can create. When I brought this up 6 years ago, he resisted. A lot. When I first brought him to a conference for entrepreneurs, he lasted half the day. By lunch, I’d lost him. So as a mom, I’m not going to say I told you so, but hey, I told you so! 

Do create a vision. Most usually we need to 10x that vision. Someone else said they started wanting to help 1 million people. Then they did, so they had to raise it to 3…  But that didn’t quite excite me. 

So I never did it. Nothing with emotion behind it at least. And if you have an empty affirmation or “goal” … without an emotion so strong that you get tears in your eyes… I have witnessed, it won’t work. 

Use both goals/intentions AND room for more. This or better is such a good phrase. Set an intention in a wise way. 

I will make more than ….. 

Enjoy at least # days off a month … while making …… or more 

Only work ….. Hours a day and make ….. Or more 

I will help …. # people and in do it working ….. Hours a week … making …. 

You don’t limit yourself with these. You’ll create an opportunity for what you want and can envision and… so much more! 

If you have a goal and intention, make it BIGGER. 

BUT.. you need to have a strong emotion around it! 

My son not too long ago gave me one. Knowing that he saw me like that was possibly one of the greatest gifts he will ever give me.
