Transitioned into online coaching helping PT's and coaches scale their online businesses. Inducted into PTHF last year. [5:07] Fun fact: AJ performed a standup comedy routine to overcome his public speaking fear. [7:03] Tragedy sparks an entrepreneurial fire: In 2007, doctors resuscitated AJ after pronouncing him dead. He then embarked on a major self-improvement journey that included changing career paths. [9:10] Lightbulb moment #1: Implementing strategies from Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki changed his life. [10:26] Making tough decisions: Insight from Brian Tracy's book Maximum Achievement inspired him to leave his secure teaching career and start his own business. [12:04] Discovering expertise: After dabbling in infomarketing, AJ found his true passion serving others in the fitness industry. He rented space in a gym and evolved a personal training business. [14:31] First client: A gym member requested AJ train him after witnessing his 60 lb. weight loss. [16:27] Realizing potential: "Working with [my first client] made me realize how much I love helping people and I had a skill of inspiring people into taking action." [17:11] "One of the best ways I found to attract potential clients to whatever you're selling is to show them how you were." [20:29] Getting clients results: He chronicles his client's entire journey by taking before/after photos, capturing wins, and creating case studies from them. [22:54] Hitting goals: After 6 weeks of getting clients and referrals, he hit his goal of $3K/month. [24:49] "Make sure you deliver your service at the highest level. When you do that, you have nothing to worry about in terms of marketing." [25:44] Burnout bout #1: His 1 on 1 training schedule maxed out. AJ never vacationed during his 10 years in business. [27:45] Burnout bout #2: Made more per hour and worked less with group training sessions but exhaustion was still a factor. [29:06] Lightbulb moment #2: "If I take my services online, I can leverage myself even further and develop more of an automated process so I don't have to trade hours for dollars." [30:15] Investing in the dream: Hired an online fitness marketing coach for $5K (with a dash of apprehension). Week by week, AJ started gaining traction. [33:28] Biggest rookie mistake: "I think that's one of the biggest mistakes I made when I started my business...I waited so long to hire a coach." [35:21] Earning expertise People pay for results. Developing that instant solution takes time, practice, and honing of your own skill. [35:47] Value perception: "As experts, if you want to be charging a good ticket for yourself, you better have invested in yourself so you can understand what value truly is." [36:47] Self-investment payoff: You're a mirror of your actions. “If you’re coachable, invest in yourself, take action, and are a pleasure to work with, you'll attract those same people.” [38:11] What do you think the single biggest thing was that allowed you to get inducted [to the HOF]? Going all in and learning how to get people to take action. That can apply to any industry.
