Taking a Leap of Faith... · Selling Online / Prime Mover

Taking a Leap of Faith...

This weekend I chatted with my wife about joining the Prime Movers. When we met I asked her to quit her job of 25 years as an elementary school principal, and jump into her passion of teaching dance. She had been dancing since she was 4 years old, and teaching dance for other people since she was 18 year old. Dancing is her passion. It's what lights her up.

I shared with her that when we have an opportunity to truly serve our people without restriction than we need to jump and take that leap of faith. Sometimes when we jump we don't know if our parachute will open. This is why it's a leap of faith. At that time I has just invested $20k that I didn't have to join a mastermind group to take my nutrition coaching business to a higher level. I busted my but that year and got my ROI back and then 10x my nutrition coaching business.

Every year since I've invested thousands in books, training courses, and mastermind groups to teach myself to be better, to do better, to niche down and serve my people.

In 2006, I became a Instructor-Trainer for the U.S. Marine Corps' Martial Arts Program. My job was to make the martial arts instructors. During that rigorous training course I was introduced to CrossFit and sports nutrition. This spurned a 15 year training to open CrossFit gyms, become certified, and get my bachelors and masters in nutrition, and then become licensed to practice nutrition counseling anywhere. None of that taught me how to run a business. Just how to do the thing.

When I retired from the Marine Corps and finished my education I reopened my CrossFit gym and started taking patients for nutrition. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars learning how to run a business that I didn't want. I reflected back on 2006, and realized that I was interested in the how of fitness, and the how of nutrition, but I didn't want to coach anyone in it. I wanted that knowledge, so I could make my martial arts students better. Not open up three separate businesses. One doing CrossFit. One doing Nutrition counseling. One doing martial arts classes.

What I found out was my passion since before 2006, was teaching martial arts. In 2006, I was exposed to distractions that would shape my passion, but could not be my focus. It took nearly 20 years to learn that.

My wife asked me, "how is Prime Mover going to be any different than all the rest of the programs you've done?"

Here's what I told her.

1️⃣ Every experience I've had, and every program I've completed has shaped me for the one I'm building now. For martial arts school I'm growing. Which also includes my current doctoral program in Interdisciplinary Leadership.

2️⃣ It's also helped her grow from 3 dancers to over 100 dancers in her school.

3️⃣ Every program I've completed I got my ROI back and then much more.

4️⃣ Everything I've learned about marketing and business the past few years has come from Dan Kennedy and Russell Brunson. I've read all of

@Russell Brunson

's, books, I've listed to his podcast, I've read most of Dan Kennedy's books, and listen to hundreds of hours of this trainings and event recordings. We've grown from the content we've implemented.

5️⃣ Every time I invest skin in the game I push harder to achieve more. Because the more you pay, the more you pay attention.

When she told me she believes in me and in us, and knows that I'll make it alright. I still sat on it, reflected on it, and told I myself you've never had the money for any of the leaps of faith you've taken. But belief and faith got you to start the journey, perseverance and the drive to never let failure keep you from succeeding has always served you.

..I could feel it in the back of my mind calling on me, pulling me forward. But I remember Russell saying, "Don't say you can't get the money, but how can I you get the money." Can't is a four letter word we avoid in our schools.

This morning I pulled the trigger and joined the Prime Mover. As I clicked the button and processed the payment I could feel the punch in the stomach "like what did you do?!"

But it's too late, you've jumped. You're off the cliff. Choose to jump and choose to fly. There's no going back. Just forward.

I am looking forward to being part of this Prime Mover group, and one day joining the Masterminds too! As I listened to Russell's "Start Here" video inside the membership, I'm filled with hope and focus.

Friends, if joining this scares the hell out of you....good! It should. That means you're taking it seriously. Pull the trigger, release the cord and take your leap of faith. Join me and others who are ready to fly.

Let's do this!

Let's change the world together!!!
