I am here on my last day in Orlando, meeting with a small group of about a dozen other highly successful entrepreneurs.
We’ve spent two days as a group talking about what’s working in our businesses, and setting goals for 2016.
It has been awesome! … and it’s also got me thinking a lot about the concept that, the people around you are one of the biggest determiners your personal success – in ALL aspects of your life.
Entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker Jim Rohn said – you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
And this is so, so true!
I flew across the country, spent the money and time to get here … because it’s SO highly valuable and critical to my business success, to surround myself with people that have the same goals and aspirations and drive that I do.
There are a variety of different folks here at the meeting I am at, and they are all excelling in different areas of business – from owning multiple gym locations, to those being active in mainstream media like magazines, books, and television, to folks who help thousands of people around the world with their digital products / online coaching / etc …
Now if YOU you want to have success with your fitness or weight-loss program … in the same way, it is KEY to surround yourself with people that are supportive, have similar goals and aspirations, etc.
This is why doing something like a fitness boot camp – where you’re working out with and spending time with like-minded and goal oriented people – gives you SUCH higher odds of success.
If spend time with people regularly who don’t care about eating healthy, or making the time to work out … it’s going to be tough!
And if I just stayed home and didn’t spend time with successful, like-minded people, my business wouldn’t be near where it is.
So I’m off to my last day of meetings now, but wanted to share this idea with you. Think about your goals, and aspirations, and dreams … and make sure you’re surrounding yourself with people who are trying to do the same!
Rock on, and talk soon –

The holiday season is upon us – and that means joy, gift-giving, family and friends!
But it can also bring excuses to miss workouts, lots of potentially unhealthy foods, and stressful times.
So I wanted to share with you my best training, diet, and lifestyle tips to help you survive – and thrive! – this holiday season:
1 – Keep going!
You have worked hard all year getting stronger and leaner and meaner. DO NOT un-do your progress now … keep the momentum rolling.
2 – Make a plan and stick to it
Have your plan for when you’re going to do your workouts, exactly what your’re going to do, etc mapped out. Have a plan for your meals. And have the discipline to stick to it!!
3 – Train FOR something
We organized the FVT Ultimate Challenge Workout again this year to give our local Sacramento clients something to train for over the holidays.
Point is, sign up for an event – having something to train for and stay focused on is SUPER helpful.
4 – ENJOY your holiday meals
I am saddened by these articles where people talk about “how to cut calories at your Thanksgiving dinner” etc. Enjoy your holiday meals for gosh sakes!! 😉 You can have a cheat meal every once in a while. It’s not a problem … as long as you are dialed in the other 90% of the time.
5 – Avoid food pushers
This is easier said than done, especially during the holiday season … but if you can, STAY AWAY from those family members and friends and others who pressure you into eating foods that you are trying to avoid!
6 – Have minimal equipment workouts ready
Having some minimal / zero equipment workouts ready is KEY to staying on point w the training … almost guaranteed you’ll have a time or two where you can’t do your regular workouts. So have something planned ahead of time you can knock out with minimal time and minimal equipment.
7 – Weigh yourself weekly
You do NOT want to eat to your heart’s content, slack on the workouts, miss weighing yourself for six weeks and then to your horror discover you’ve put on 10 pounds by the 1st of January.
Instead, weigh yourself every week. It’s what I have all my Elite Online Coaching Clients do, and it’s a KEY part of the amazing results they get.
(BTW – I recommend you do this ALWAYS, like for your whole life … not just during the holiday season.)
8 – Move every day
Keep moving. It will help you burn a few extra calories and it’s important for your mental health … especially if it’s winter time in your part of the world.
Do your regular training sessions, walk, bike, do your mobility and flexibility work … whatever you enjoy that keeps you moving!
9 – Get an early start on 2016
Most people are thinking they will start on their fitness program in the beginning of the year … YOU are going to start NOW and get a jump on the procrastinators! 😉
10 – Keep your fitness a priority
I KNOW you have a lot going on during the holidays … so do we all! BUT … you can still make fitness a priority, still try your best to eat healthy, and still make it a
point to get your workouts in.
11 – NO EXCUSES
Saved the best tip for last 😉 NO excuses this holiday season. Get it done.
I hope those 11 training, diet and lifestyle tips will help you survive – and even get BETTER – this holiday season. Keep going, stay focused, stay DISCIPLINED, and rock on –

Well, just got back from a GREAT time in New York …
Spent a long weekend at the SFL Barbell Lifter cert, training hard and learning SO much from Dr Michael Hartle and the rest of the SFL instructor team.
I also got to do the tourist thing and check out the city a bit while I was there … all in all, an AWESOME time!!
Now lots to do as I get things organized for the week ahead, but wanted to shoot you a message with a couple of quick reminders:
1 – We have a ‘Bells, Beers and Buddies’ boot camp coming up at the FVT studio THIS Thursday, Nov 12th at 6 pm
Simply sign up in our online system (if you are a current client) … or message us with your name and email address (if you will be attending as a guest) … bring a beer to enjoy after the workout … and you’re all set!
Again – do NOT have your guest create a profile / sign up in the Mindbody system/ etc – just message us with their name and email address instead – thanks!
That being said … if you want to attend, we are capping attendance at 30 for this workout, so be sure to reserve your spot ASAP!
2 – We are putting the finishing touches on the registration page for the next FVT Ultimate Challenge workout!
It should be active within the next day it two, I’ll keep ya posted …
This is going to be an AWESOME event that will test many aspects of your fitness … we will also raise funds for the Sacramento SPCA in the process, and have a great time!
Stay tuned!
That’s it for now – have a great Monday, and talk soon –
