Episode 174 - Lawrence Biscontini, MA Mindful Movement Specialist, Mentor, Fitness & Spa Consultant, ICAA Advisory Board, Power Music© Consultant, Published Author, Philanthropist, Scholarship Provider, Resident of the World & Award Winner: IDEA, ACE, Can Fit Pro, ECA July 2020 “You never choose your path, message, charity. It chooses YOU.” “Everyone needs two mentors; one person in your field and one person you want to be like.” - Lawrence Biscontini It has been two years in the making, but the Two Fit Crazies were finally able to steal some time with the one-of-a-kind inspirational human by the name of Lawrence Biscontini. Joining the show from his quarantine retreat, or extended “staycation,” in Puerto Rico, Lawrence shares how “fear, family history, and an evil stepmother” inspired him to pursue what was most important to his heart. This self-proclaimed “resident of the world,” who mainly resides in New York, Puerto Rico and Mykonos when he is not presenting around-the-globe, has spent the last 5 months laser-focused on mentoring and consulting fitness professionals on how to elevate their career, make deeper connections on deeper levels, keep the “kind” in human kindness, and how to think like a business. Lawrence reveals why he was compelled to create a Virtual Global United Fitness Roundtable to provide access to the best ideas, tips, and secrets from top industry leaders from around-the-world. From his work with outreach programs for the Sisters of St. Joseph to the Biscontini Scholarships, Lawrence is a truly remarkable soul, and one in which you will surely want as a friend and mentor. The Two Fit Crazies loved all the amazing advice Lawrence offers up on this episode, so get your pens and pencils ready, it is time for some hashtags: #buckofcrazy #Fitnessworks #Youarenotalone #thrivenotsurvive #Fitfam #YesYouCan Two Fit Crazies www.twofitcrazies.com Super-secret group discount: https://py.pl/9jiBFhxND6S Email VIP list to join: http://bit.ly/IwanttofindLawrence Free mastermind group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/findLawrencementoring/ Tiers: https://www.findlawrence.com/mentoring-tiers/ (In honor of Sister Luke) my Sisters of Saint Joseph organization links: http://www.ssjphila.org/home/ and https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/ssjphila #findlawrence #findBiskit #bucketofcrazy #fitnessworks (but not for free) #sharethis #wellnesswithoutwalls #unitednationsoffitness #youarenotalone #fitfam

From Crisis Comes Opportunity. And this current COVID-19 Crisis may well lead to a boom time for Spa Management Companies. Many hotels have been forced to lay off most, if not all, of their staff, including the Spa Team. As they start to re-open, hotels will be looking to cut costs and reduce their risks wherever they can. One area of exposure for hotels in the payroll of the Spa Team. So, why not outsource the management to the spa to a Spa Management Company in return for a revenue share or profit share? It reduces the risk/exposure on the payroll yet ensures the hotel can still offer the Spa to their guests. If you're a Spa Consultant or a Spa Manager who's been laid off, there could be an opportunity there for you, if you're willing to grab it. #hotels #spas #opportunityawaits

We're all familiar with the idea of working with a Spa Consultant to help get your Hotel Spa open. But what about using the Spa Consultant on an on-going basis as part of your overall management solution? If you get the right fit, you can actually fill the gaps in your current Spa Management situation...and take your Spa to new heights. The major PRO of this option is the flexibility it affords the Hotel. The major CON in the cost...and the challenge of finding the right Spa Consultant. Definitely worth thinking about. #hotelspa #spamanagement #spabusiness #businessmodel #spaconsultant

In Episode #86, the fourth of our series on Spa Business Models, we consider Spa Consultants. A good Spa Consultant can help you get your hotel spa open. But they could be much more. What about using them to help manage your spa moving forward?

In Episode #8 - Demystifying the Hotel Spa - I'll share some ideas on what options a hotel manager has when it comes to his spa. Self Managed, Spa Management Company, Spa Consultant, Product House, etc. I also give my Pros and Cons on each.

DER KOPF - SANDRA AGERER Founder & CEO of LIVINYOU Den Körper wieder ins Gleichgewicht zu bringen – das funktioniert nur, wenn die körpereigenen Energiesysteme mitspielen. Diese Einsicht hat Sandra Agerer, nach einem schweren Schicksalsschlag schnell erlangt. Erst, als sich die gebürtige Österreicherin intensiver mit den Energiezentren des Körpers, den Chakren und dem Meridiansystem befasste und sie in ihrer Gesamtheit betrachtete, fand sie ihr eigenes Gleichgewicht wieder. Viele Jahre hatte sie erfolgreich an erstklassigen Adressen der SPA-Industrie gearbeitet, doch die Treatments und Ausbildungen blieben immer nur an der Oberfläche. Im Jahr 2012 gründete sie ihr Unternehmen (LIVINSPA TRAINING & CONSULTING) – und ist als SPA-Consultant, Manager, Spa Franchisegeber, Produzent von Health Care und Food Produkten, individuell ganzheitlicher Therapeut, mediale Beraterin, Trainerin, Coach und Buchautorin in ihrem heutigen Unternehmen tätig. Achtsam, nachhaltig, tiefgehend. Mit den Lehren aus ihren eigenen Erfahrungen entwickelt sie nicht nur individuelle und einzigartige Konzepte für Ihre Kunden, sondern hat ihr ganz eigenes Konzept LIVINYOU entwickelt, womit sie Menschen erneut den Zugang zu sich selbst erlaubt. Eben in ein selbst- bestimmtes Leben mit Kraft , Energie und Liebe. LIVINYOU beschreibt die heutige Dachmarke und den Firmennamen Ihres Unternehmens. Dein größter Fehler als Unternehmer?  Hmmm, ich würde sagen dass ich bis heute ganz gut davon gekommen bin. Ich denke das liegt daran, dass ich immer auf meine innere Stimme höre und es diese ist die aus mir spricht. Es ist nicht das Ego das mich bestimmt .... "Ich treffe Entscheidungen unabhängig von meinem Kontostand" Wenn ich diesen oder jenen Weg fühle, klar vor meinem inneren Auge wahrnehme, dann mache ich mich einfach auf den Weg. Ich liebe dieses Gefühl der Freiheit, alles zu SEIN was man fühlt in Akzeptanz mit seiner Umwelt. Deine Lieblings-Internet-Ressource?  Hab ich nicht, ich liebe es meine Inspirationen aus der Natur zu holen, in der Stille und mit mir alleine...da höre ich meine innere Stimme am besten...
