What You Didn’t Know About Me…
- 15 Comment
Yesterday I launched the 3-day special for the Burn Fat at Home program and I have received lots of great feedback from people, but as always, it comes with some negative thoughts as well.
We can’t please everyone and I am aware of that, but sometimes, as you all know, it’s the negative stuff that sticks on to us.
Because of that, I just wanted to share a little story about me and my background. The following section is borrowed from the application I did for Dax Moy’s Mentorship Program. On the question on why I thought I would be a good candidate for the program, I wrote the following:
“Because the main reason I started in the fitness business industry was in order to help other reach their goals and dreams.
A few years back, I was a head coach of a soccer team in my hometown where 75%
of the players were raised in the “ghetto” and had a foreign nationality.When I took over the team, it was filled with problems and this team had a
reputation to always start fights and end up in other types of trouble.Not only did I take this team and turned it from a “losing” team into a winning team,
but most importantly, I sorted out all the social problems they had off the field.One of the biggest dreams young soccer players in Sweden have is to be able to
compete in the world’s largest soccer tournament, which is located in Gothenburg,
and is called Gothia Cup.As I said, 75% of the players came from home’s where they sometimes even had a
problem getting food on the table, and getting over $8000 USD for this
tournament seemed impossible to a lot of people, but not to me.Within the team, we together raised around $3000 ourselves, and I were able to get
a scholarship of $5000 from our city for the work I put down in terms of helping
these young guys to a better life. The scholarship had nothing to do with our results
on the field, it was exclusively based on the “social work” I did for the community.With this being said, I coached this team about 10 hours/week without any salary
what so ever, I worked full-time in a Supermarket and coached clients on my free
time in order to get enough money to go the United States for educational purposes.So I have really been helping people my whole life and one of the best things I know
is to see people grow and develop based on what you teach them.I am truly a person who practice what I preach in terms of helping others and that’s
the reason I believe I would be a good candidate for this program.”
By all means, if you do think I am having this special offer only to rip you off and make
a few extra bucks, then please, do not invest in this program. I really mean it, don’t
go the website and don’t consider investing in it.
If I can help 1 person out of 3000 to change his/her life, then I honestly feel like a
success. I’d rather see 1 person investing in this program and going through with
everything and really trust me, then having 30 people going through it half-heartedly.
Sure, money makes things easier in the short term, but I’d rather go to sleep feeling I
have made a difference instead of feeling I can buy expensive clothes to show off with!

I do enjoy communicating with different people every day, don’t get me wrong! It’s just sometimes it gets too overwhelming. I just can’t imagine what Darren Rowe or John Chow go through!

Is it possible to burn fat without going to the gym? I would be happier exercising where nobody can see me.

Quite a good article. Fitness is the in thing these days, and for good reason. Pollution levels have gone up many levels over the past decades taking their toll on our bodies so it’s more important than ever to do your part in keeping your body as much in shape as possible by exercising and eating right.
