Why My Haircut Made Me Angry and Driven
Hahahaha
No nothing to do with seeing my receding hair line!
Nice one though!:)
Its not often you go into a hair salon and come out driven!
I am being serious, this P***ed me right off!
I am not an angry person at all, sure I have red hair, but this got me going.
—– This is shocking—–
I know this lady , not that well , but she knows I help people get healthy, improve their energy , lose dress sizes and infact I helped her daughter get in great shape for her wedding. I think the other girl in her salon even has my curry cookbook too.
She started to tell me how she had signed up at a local gym.
She didn’t sound excited!
She wasn’t nervous, but almost despondent already.
She actually asked for my opinion on a couple of things…..
The next bit horrified me!
——- Its Like Driving With The Brakes On and Revving the T**s Off It—–
Yep she said she had to pay extra if she wanted a nutrition plan.
That’s like selling a car with no wheels!
What a joke!
At this point I had to tell her a few truths!
To be honest I am getting sick (not literally) of hearing people tell me they have signed up for the “gym” and not had any instruction past their first session (or when they pay their memberships ) and they aren’t getting any nutritional education.
I know why its happening…..its because they have lowered the barrier to entry to become a “gym instructor” ….
I don’t mean to be condescending…take it how you like, but I think I have actually forgotten more useful information than gets taught on the level 2 and 3 courses these days.
This is one of the driving factors behind me studying for my masters (which starts today) as I look to separate my self further from the “industry”.
I said a long time ago, I wasn’t going to be in the industry….I wanted to be far away from that!
Another issue…..
So back to the salon…….
My hairdresser asks me how I would help her .
I told her the first 5 things that frankly would change her life and the way she feels about her body.
1. I would help her reduce known stresses before adding any more
2. I would help her learn what is truly good for her body and what isn’t
3. I would show her how to improve her mobility to aid her fat loss.
4. I would get her using a progressive system of training that allows her to burn body fat well after she finishes her session
5. I would help her to realise that chasing numbers on the scales will not ultimately result in happiness .
—- I am SERIOUSLY passionate ——
You just cant fake it.
I am right up for helping this lady.
At 52 years old, I know if/when she works with me I will change her life.
I will show her that losing body fat is not difficult…… when you know how!
It doesn’t need to be restrictive and that if she does exactly what I say she will be blown away.
—- You Can’t Measure The Value of This—-
A bit like one of my clients last Friday told me that she took on board some info I gave her regarding digestive nutrition, she got bloated and felt lethargic…..a few simple tips ACTED ON and a month later she has halved her stomach medication and her children are less hyperactive.
At that point I could have gone home…..very satisfied with my mornings work!
These are all fantastic examples of recent health related results that Mike and I have had at the studio in recent months with our online, 1-1 and semi private coaching clients.
