If you watched yesterday’s Sales System video you heard Sean and me talk about how a sales system that works gives you confidence, and control over your life and your future.

In today’s video, Sean talks about a strategy for eliminating THE biggest obstacle to your fitness business success.

It’s a way of thinking and acting that creates an irresistible demand for your services.

It’s about your responsibility - your obligation - as a fitness professional, and how when you embrace that obligation…selling your services becomes almost as simple as tying your shoes.

You’ll hear Sean explain this powerful strategy, and how to utilize it at the two minute mark in this video (it’s not to be missed):

Then we talk about how you MUST make sure your “oxygen mask” is on FIRST; and you’ll hear a story about how one fit-pro went from $30K in the red to $30K in the black, a new BMW and a European honeymoon in the blink of an eye (plus the only real debt-elimination strategy that works).

It’s all on video for you here:

Go watch it now. You’ll be glad you did.

P.S. Be sure to register (below the video) to receive the next video. Because it’s a doozey. Sean literally teaches you the 7.5 steps of AUTO-CLOSER.

Hope you’ve had a great holiday.

We certainly did, and now it’s time to get back to work!

Before we took a few days off last week, Eric and I sat down and recorded several videos to share with you on how to grow your business in the new year.

Whatever your goals are, I’m guessing they involve some aspects of:

- Finding more clients, and helping more people improve their health and fitness through your programs

- Growing the size of your business, income, and bank account

- Getting the freedom that comes from owning a real business, and not just a job

However you’ve defined your goals for the year ahead, we thought we’d help you address…

…’First Things First’.

Without this key component working right in your business, it’s VERY hard to get ANYTHING moving forward.

And however it is (or isn’t) working right now, with just a little ‘tune up’ you can dramatically change your fortune over the next several weeks.

What am I talking about?

Check out the video and find out:

To your success,

Sean

P.S. There are 3 more videos coming in this series, and as you’ll see we’re giving away some very ‘meaty’ content here that you can put to work right now in your biz. Check out the first installment at:

http://www.FitnessSalesVideo.com

Just want to make sure you don’t miss out on our NPE year-end sale.

http://www.NPEHolidaySale.com

It’s too good, the discounts too big.

30% on all products, up to 58% on special packages (like “The Whole Enchilada”).

In addition to the disc’ounts, you can also take advantage of EZ-pay installments.

And don’t forget, today’s the last day for ‘08 tax benefits (deductions) on business/personal development investments.

**SALE STATUS UPDATES**

AUTO-CLOSER and DEEP-CORE are moving briskly.

DUPLICATOR is a close third, followed by the Platform Selling Toolkit, Cash Flow Surge System and Physician’s Referral System.

But there’s a sleeper that may nudge it’s way into the mix…

And that’s Jan Champion’s Fitness Business Legal Forms product.

There’s no getting around the fact that we live in an overly litigious environment. Lawsuits are as commonplace as lattes now. And you need to take both defensive AND offensive steps to protect yourself.

Can you afford to risk everything you’ve worked so hard for if a clumsy client falls off an exercise ball and sues… OR one of your trainers walks out on you, taking your clients with him?

Especially when it’s all so preventable?

With Fit-Biz Owner/Lawyer-Extraordinaire Jan Champion’s Legal Forms you can put a titanium shield around your business immediately.

And you can do it on the cheap. Getting these forms on your own would cost you thousands, but you can have them right now for just $138 (a savings of almost sixty bucks).

You can find Jan’s Fitness Business Legal Forms Product in the “Management” section of the NPE Webstore.

Remember, the NPE Holiday Sale ends tonight at midnight:

Cheers,
Eric

I have a serious addiction. And I need to feed it almost daily. You may have the same need.

If so, lemme share my drug of choice with you…

>> INSPIRATION <<

To me, there’s nothing else like the feeling of being passionately inspired. It’s the most empowering emotion. I feel like I can be and do anything, that my potential is limitless.

And that feeling propels me into action.

How about you? Got the same addiction?

Yeah? Great.

Then I want to share some powerfully inspirational words with you right now.

But before I do, I also want to remind you to ACT on your inspiration. Don’t just enjoy the buzz. You need to channel that rush of adrenaline, serotonin and endorphin into movement that manifests tangible results. Because motion beats meditation every time.

This time of year is probably the most inspirational of all for many people. It is for me. The promise of a new year beginning, a new opportunity to set ambitious goals, do and be more, and more fully realize our potential, lies just hours away.

If you haven’t done so yet, spend a few hours today writing down your goals for 2009 and the action steps for achieving them.

And I’d like to make a suggestion here, if you don’t mind…

One of your biz goals MUST BE lead generation. Because lead generation marketing is THE activity, more so than any other, that can give you the personal and fin.an.cial freedom you want. Building a large, responsive “house list” of local people who know, like and trust you - and who will buy from you and refer to you - is the ultimate “difference-maker.” If I had to point to one thing that more radically changed my life than any other, it would be growing, nurturing and cultivating my list.

And nothing can help you do that - nothing can channel your inspiration and motivation into decisive and productive action better than our DEEP-CORE Fitness Marketing System. And until Midnight tonight, December 31, you can get DEEP-CORE at the lowest price it will ever be offered during our holiday sale:

http://www.NPEHolidaySale.com

Now, on to the inspirational words I promised you. Here are some of my favorite quotes, worthy of printing and posting to your office wall, your bathroom mirror and anywhere else you will see them every single day:

“Dream no small dreams, for they have no power to move the hearts of men.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“Thought is the blossom; language teh bud; action the fruit behind it.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” - William Arthur Ward

“Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity.” - Louis Pasteur

“Goals provide the energy source that powers our lives. One of the best ways we can get the most from the energy we have is to focus it. That is what goals can do for us; concentrate our energy.” - Denis Waitley

“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.” - Yogi Berra

“The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of YOU to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.” - Jim Rohn

“You will become as great as your dominant aspiration.” - James Allen

“Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true.” - Napoleon Hill

“A minute’s success pays the failure of years.” - Robert Browning

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you never, ever have enough.” - Oprah Winfrey (yes…Oprah)

“Gratitude is the attitude that changes everything.” - Unknown

“Gratitude is what starts the receiving process.” - Jim Rohn

“The same thinking that has led you to where you are is not going to lead you to where you want to go.” - Albert Einstein

“Reduce your plan to writing…the moment you complete this, you will have definitely given concrete form to the intangible desire.” - Napoleon Hill

“The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we hit it.” - Michelangelo

“If you want to HAVE more, you first must BECOME more.” - Jim Rohn

I have many, many more, but this post would be too long. So let me leave you with one of my all-time favorite poems. One of my best friends, Matt McGuire, shared this poem with me back in that early 90’s. It inspired me so much I framed it and it hangs in my office:

INVICTUS
by William Ernest Henley

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

One of the personal qualities I pride myself on the most is my attitude of gratitude. Regardless of whatever negative emotions I may be experiencing, I can always set my head right by expressing the tremendous gratitude I have for all the blessings in my life. The list is LONG, including God, family, health, country, friends, Sean, Dick, Camelia and you. Thank you for being who you are, someone who seeks and works to be all you can be. I am grateful for you.

To your best year ever,
Eric Ruth

P.S. Celebrate tonight. Celebrate life, love, family and friends. And then get to work tomorrow creating everything you want and deserve.

P.P.S. Be inspired!

We’re into the second day of the NPE Holiday Sale and as predicted, orders are flooding in!

I suppose a fitness business building tool that guarantees your success (like AUTO-CLOSER and the rest) sure beats socks… Or was it a scarf?

Same goes for any other tools & systems you know you WILL need in the future. Get em’ now while they’re cheap. Makes sense, right?

There’s really no better way we can think of to say a big and hearty “THANK YOU” to all our customers than slashing prices to the bone.

I’m talking gargantuan savings.

Just so you know, on the “huge scale”, gargantuan tops both colossal and enormous.

Until Midnight on December 31st, you get gargantuan savings of up to 58% chopped right off on some product packages, and mammoth, across the board 30% savings on all individual products and coaching programs.

For example, you can now get the AUTO-CLOSER Fitness Sales System (our #1 best seller) for just 3 installments of only $250 for the Home Study, or 3@$325 with live coaching.

This is the lowest it will EVER be. Ever. And nothing can put clients on your books and major profits in your pocket quicker than AUTO-CLOSER.

Or, if you’ve already got AUTO-CLOSER, than maybe you’d like a massive cash-flow surge in the healthy five digit range in early 2009. If so, then grab the CASH FLOW SURGE SYSTEM for just 3 EZ pay installments of only $200.

It’s all here:

Don’t know if you’ve ventured out this weekend to take advantage of any of the after Christmas sales, but
around here the stores are all going crazy.

Lots of news reports that retailers fell below projections for the holiday sales, but if our local mall is any indication of what’s happening right now…

… those numbers should change drastically as all the figures come in from the after Christmas sales.

Christina and I just got back from heading out to exchange of couple things, and the stores around here are without a doubt MUCH busier than they were before Christmas.

Anyway, in the spirit of after Christmas sales we’re having our own year end sale here at NPE to celebrate a
tremendous 2008.

The sale starts tomorrow morning and all details are posted online at:

http://www.npeholidaysale.com

Anything you’ve been looking to get your hands on for the year ahead, now is a great time to pick it up for a
tremendous discount.

The only folks that receive a better discount than the 30% we’re giving now is our Platinum and VIP folks.

Read all the details online, and be ready when the doors open up tomorrow morning at:

http://www.npeholidaysale.com

To your success,
Sean

P.S. All details on the sale, and how to take advantage of the tremendous discounts we are offering are posted online at:

Hope your holiday week is off to a great start.

If you live in the north east part of the US, then you’ve been getting pounded with snow and will certainly have ‘White Christmas’ this year.

Here in North Carolina, we’ve got no snow but at least some good cold weather for putting on a fire and making some hot cocoa.

I don’t know what holiday traditions you have, but at my house ours always include taking it easy and watching a couple fun Christmas movies.

The classic “A Christmas Story” movie is on every year with the kid who wants the Red Rider BB gun for Christmas and everyone tells him “you’ll shoot your eye out kid!”

Then there is the famous “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas” movie made after the Dr. Zuess story (always a good one).

And my personal favorite “Scrooged” with Bill Murray, which is simply a modern day version of the Scrooge story with Bill Murray as a Network TV executive. What can I say, it’s Bill Murray and that guy is hilarious.

In the spirit of holiday movies, Eric, Dick, and I also worked on preparing a special video for you.

We dressed up in costumes and everything, hopefully you’ll get kick out of it.

The look on Eric’s face is priceless.

It’s online now with details on the holiday sale we’re having next week at:

http://www.NPEHolidaySale.com

Check it out and let me know what you think of our elf costumes!

To your success,

Sean

P.S. In all sincerity, I want to say ‘thank you’ for the tremendous year we’ve had here. In 2008 NPE has TRIPLED and we have you, our customers, to thank for that. It’s been a pleasure serving you and helping you achieve your personal and professional goals.

Happy holidays and we look forward to helping you make it an even bigger and better 2009.
