Have you built your website homepage based off of a proven strategy? Or based on what you THINK your potential customers want to see?   When it comes to your website homepage design, this is THE PLACE where people come to learn more about you, engage with you further, and hopefully purchase a product or service from you.   But in a day and age where people skim rather than read, you have less than 20 seconds to capture the attention of your visitors and educate them on what you're all about, and how you can help them with their unique problem.    It's a REALLY challenging thing to master! And that's exactly why in this episode we break down what you can do to make your homepage stand out to your ideal client, and stand apart from your competitors.   It comes down to demonstrating that you understand your ideal client, and provide them with tremendous value that they're looking for when they discover you.

As a fitness performance coach, he was named by Men's Journal Magazine as one of the Top 100 Trainers in America, as well as one of the Top 10 Trainers in the Bay Area by the San Francisco Chronicle and Haute Magazine. Peers and other fitness professionals look to Billy as a fitness advisor and business coach for good reason - Billy devotes his own life and energy towards helping others learn how to live the strong, healthy, successful and happy life they were meant to live. How did your background inspired you to be where you are today? (05:15) - From his undergraduate and post-graduate studies, his national certifications, his 20+ years of experience working as a coach and trainer, and a lifetime spent as a competitive athlete, Billy knows body dynamics, injury prevention and how to maximize personal performance. He puts it all together and is the rare trainer who has the knowledge to give, the experience to relate, the passion to share, and the natural gift to teach.  - Since joining the fitness industry, Billy's vision was to create a cutting-edge training facility exclusively for the Bay Area's leading independent fitness trainers and coaches.

And he wrote children's books. I don't know if you ever remember any of those now, the value tales for kids. If the value of courage, the story of Jackie Robinson, the value of believing in yourself, the story of Helen Keller, and then Margie met him first and I got to a party in hand, carried him over and said, you guys ought to get together and write a children's book for managers. What can we conclude about the ideal leadership? (09:36) - So many things cause it's taken away all our distractions and in cause look at that. And so that kind of reminds me of when you say, you know, all the things that being of service and helping others. And, and how do you find that? This is kind of a segue, but how do you find that has this moment in time that we're living right now cause you to go deeper into thinking about you and your, where you stand - Supporting each other, the brotherhood it's it's, it's so divisive right now that this, this funny, bring this up because this is completely the opposite of what's going on right now. You know, that's caused us to be in this where we are, and we really need this. To be a philosophy because we really need to come back together - Before he became a professional on your path and where you are now. And did you even know this is what you're going to do? Yeah, I probably, my, my funniest jumping point for that is, uh, in college, uh, trying to decide my major and I've always loved and enjoyed psychology and kind of what makes people tick and what brings people together. - I want to be doing something that is fulfilling and I love to do, and again, We'll make a difference in this world. And, uh, that's when my pivot came from using statistics and using the work I've been doing in technology and heading into growing my own private practice as an independent trainer. How the more you don't know, that's just how you grow? (17:23) - That psychology and that, that human interaction got balanced out with statistics and analytics and numbers and making sure that I was able to really meet both sides there. The example I give of, there are a lot of folks who, and it's not a bad thing, but there are a lot of folks who they love fitness. - They study fitness, their whole college and they get out and they're so great at training. But when they try and open their own practice, that other skillset is a challenge for them.  I was very fortunate that I got a little bit of a taste of both worlds and that yes, everything leads to who we are today. - And we have to give everything credit, the most challenging things that we face. Often being obviously the most uplifting and people hate hearing that, especially this year. Right? That's right. Yeah. That's what I wanted. That's what I want our listeners to hear is that everything you've done is setting you up for. - So maybe the lesson is that. Yeah, you simply know you're not good at it in terms of you don't enjoy doing it, or you really don't want that to be part of what you're doing. Um, even if that's the takeaway, what, Oh my gosh, what a valuable takeaway, because then. You take the pressure off yourself? Oh, I should be doing computers.

Despite so much success, Billy was hit hard by the impact of the COVID related shutdown, and he shares some of the struggles and emotions that he’s faced as a result, that I think you will certainly be able to relate to. But he also shares how after one of his lowest moments, when hearing that the shutdown for small studios was going to continue for another two months, grieved the news, but then rose to the occasion in a very unique way to form a coalition with other studios (even competitors) in his community to petition their case to the local government to open earlier with other small businesses. He also shares insights into reopening that he recommends, and learned while having conversations with other studios in his coalition.
