It's staring you right in the face

Opportunity is everywhere. It's present at all times. I write about that all the time in my http://www.labadieunleashed.com emails. And Zach Even-Esh and I talk about it on http://www.fitnessbusinessmindset.com.

Lyle Johnson, one of my http://www.howtoprofitwithbootcamps.com customers is the perfect example of having the "opportunity is everywhere" mindset.

Last year, before getting our Boot Camp Kit, he had three people enroll in his camp. Then he got real savvy and started working his connections. Before you know it he's got three camps. And one of them is working with the front office people of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. Inside Busch Stadium itself!

Pretty damn cool, huh?

Now here's the thing. Don't just jump on this idea and start calling all your local sports teams. You could and, in fact, you should. But don't be one of those people who just copies everything. Give it a day and contemplate the possibilities. Meditate on it.

Why?

Because there may be even greater opportunities staring you right in the face. Simply let this idea be a springboard for your own greatness.

Here's another one for you:

I recently read, on page 90 of the June 2006 issue of Entrepreneur magazine, a great article on rising health care costs and the new "health savings account" plans. It's a terrific article and I highly recommend you read it. Essentially, it gave me the idea that fitness pros have great potential joint venture partners in companies that sell health insurance plans.

There's a ton of small business who are getting killed by health insurance costs.
There's a ton of insurance companies who would love to sell them a new plan.

See where I'm going with this?

Ok. Maybe not.

From what I understand these new "health savings account" plans put the honus on the employee to stay healthy since a great deal of their medical costs will be coming out of their own pocket.

The small business saves money with the new plan.

The insurance company makes money selling it.

The employee gets healthy taking YOUR fun and affordable fitness boot camp. Which, by the way, was recommended by both the employer and the health insurance company.

Opportunity is everywhere. It's staring you right in the face - right now.

Yours in prosperity,

1) "Hi Jim,

My name is Lyle Johnson, owner of MVP Fitness in St. Louis. I purchased your Boot Camp Start Up Kit and have gotten great results. I have had 44 camp members enroll in MVP Fitness Boot Camp in the first month. Not bad considering I only had 3 clients last year before the Kit!
Currently I am holding three camps; one at a local high school, another in an affluent subdivision and the other one for the St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Organization, which is actually held on the baseball diamond at the brand new Busch Staduim.

I feel great and very confident in the future direction of MVP Fitness and I am looking forward to improving more people's lives by offering more boot camps.

Thanks again! Your Ultimate Boot Camp Start-Up Kit CDs really helped me grow my business!"
