I am 53, originally from Buffaly, NY and currently live in Maine.  Except for a 10 year hiatus (due to divorce) I have been in fitness or weight loss most of my adult life.  Like all of I am passionate about helping people be healthier. My family is full of obesity and diabetes and I have a congenital heart issue so health is just the BIG one for me.  I thought of going to medical school (and still do) however I think I can be more effective at this level right now.  I am proud of starting a business from nothing and starting to actually make a living at my passion, my family coming together thanks in part to my third and last husband :) and just in generally finally be a happy person inside and out.  I love to ballroom dance, read, and hot yoga is my latest fun thing.  I work 12 hours a day 7 days a week however I am learning how to throw some personal stuff and fun in those days thanks to the Max 10 list and for "dreaming". 

GOALS REVISITED: I am a Baby Boomer like they are and I get hot flashes, insomnia and have aching body parts.  Therefore, I know how to work around and with those issues.

Additionally, there is no one better than I at helping people who DON"T like to exercise into "I can't miss my work out" ...we have fun!

GOAL FOR WORK: Within the next 6 months I will gross between 70-75k reaching over $100k with my business for the first time.  The next 6 months I will continue to work with my new trainers incorporating systems that will give me time to market and make that happen.  I will be offering our for fee seminars at least monthly to generate continued traffic. Also, will work with one of the key trainers to plan our Corporate training strategy...not just offering a discount

OVERLAP GOAL: I will only spend Sunday's with my family or myself; no more work or just one more email, one more call, one more seminar or networking activity.  I can prepare for the week early monday or the previous saturday.

My family and/or will vacation twice a year budgeting for an extra $6000 for that.  We will either take one large vacation or a couple mini-vacations.

The key is they will be planned and allotted for both time and money...which we don't usually do.  

WORK GOAL SHORT: Within the next 6 months I will have 8 trainings (most are part-time) working with me to generate 12,000 a month gross.

OVERLAP GOAL SHORT: Sunday is family day!

STATUS: OWNER

RANKING: ASPIRING

WHAT CAN YOU CONTRIBUTE: I am very good at seeing both sides of an issue...and am a problem solver.  I am certainly better at it for others than myself.

So, give me a "problem" and I'll show you an "opportunity".  I have a lot of life experience which may translate into some wisdom as in "been there done that...wrong" now maybe can help someone learn from that.

HOW CAN OTHER MEMBERS HELP YOU: The others in the group can help by offering support by responding to questions or just knowing someone else is reading our threads is helpful.  I think our industry does not allow for support because we are generally in competition.

To participate on the calls so there is variety.  Sharing YOUR experience is comforting to the rest of us and we can learn from each other always.

ONE HOUR IS WORTH: $150.00

INCOME INCREASING IDEA: Weight Management Program for Corporations

FOUR THINGS ON A DAY YOU LOVE: DANCE, READ, TAKE a long Bath and glass of champagne (plus) with my husband.

CAREER EVOLUTION: A year ago I was broke and by myself.  My I'm breaking even and have staff helping and on the way to profitability. The evolution has been realization of what it takes both physically and fiscally and that to really succeed and move forward I need help from others.  That might time IS valuable, that I provide an incredible service and the world needs me! :) I have learned to not just work hard which I do naturally but to leverage my time and prioritize...and to include my family in that!
