		<description>The best lessons are often learned the hard way Mike. I learned a long time ago that you ALWAYS charge for your services (i.e. training, seminars, etc.) no matter how nominal a fee. That way, you &quot;pre-qualify&quot; your audience as people willing to pay for good service/information. I think it was Ian King that taught me that. Anyway, best of luck with your endeavors. I always enjoy reading your posts. Keep it up.</description>

		<description>Mike, I guess we have all learned some of our business the hard way. But if we don&#039;t make mistakes, it means that we are not doing anything. 

I don&#039;t know if you have considered boarding your target market from just elite training to targeting the boomers that have just hit late 40&#039;;s  and early 50&#039;s? Perhaps you are already doing that but all I have seen is you tweeting about elite athletes. After seeing a U-tube video from one of your links, I set a goal in Aug to train until I could do 20 pull ups all at once, by the end of 09. It took five months and 3K pull ups later I did 21 on 12-31-09.  I printed out the instructions from one of the sites that I found from your link. I also printed the next work out routine that I plan to do from a site that I found from your link. 

Boomers have the money and they want to stay young and in shape for as long as they can. When I was selling gym memberships a few years back, my sales improved when I changed my direction from selling health to selling the cosmetic effect that training will bring. Your service will save them time and they will get the most for their efforts. The money seemed to be secondary to getting results quickly and with less chance of injury. I would never had made the 20 pull ups had I not found the site giving me a blue print on how to do it. 

I will keep RTing your tweets that I think have the kind of info that is usable for us normal people. :) Tks Paul sends. If I am incorrect about not offering training for others other than the elite athlete, My bad. pa</description>
