STOP trying to be Ryan Lee!

THIS THREAD IS GEARED TO FIT PROS WHO ARE ABUSING THEIR TRUSTED FRIENDS IN THE INDUSTRY
First….if your a fit pro and you don’t like what I have to say here..TOUGH SHIT!
Let’s move on! 
So your new to the fit pro business or have been around for awhile and now are trying the online marketing end of the business.
Buckle up!
This is long, this is ‘in your face’ and it’s what I see going on in our wonderful industry…
“If there is one thing you don’t want to do, it is abuse and disrespect your list”..
You have heard that before, right?
Then why the hell isn’t anybody listening?
Some of you are new to the fitness business and you see where Ryan Lee is..you see where
Jim Labadie is & THEN you have the balls to TRY to do what they are doing RIGHT AWAY and abuse, abuse, abuse us -your list.
The ridiculous claims of money making and emails received…
Bullshit!
Save it!
If for ONE SECOND you think you are going to be Ryan Lee or Jim Labadie at the blink of an eye you are freaking crazy!
How many of you have emailed ME or text me (after I trusted you with my cell #) asking to be an affiliate? You haven’t said POO to me in months then all of a sudden you have this product that is going to take over the world and you want ME to promote it?
My Ass!
TIME OUT…remember what I said…If you don’t like what I have to say I can care less…now let’s move on….
Do I personally want to be an Internet marketer? Do I want to sell tons of products online and not have the responsibilities of owning a fitness center one day? Hell yeah..BUT IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN BY BUYING ONE FREAKING PRODUCT or attending a seminar over a weekend.
For all you young guys & gals…..listen to me…Listen to Ryan…
Without putting a few years in you WILL NOT be an overnight success online. I don’t care about the smoke being blown up your ass that it CAN happen..it won’t! There is so much involved it is unbelievable.
Master your domain…..master your territory in the area you live….GROW..get known…get clients…get respect…
My daughter was in from Philly for the weekend and she said, ‘Hanging out with you is like hanging with a rock star’…
Why?
Because I put my time in and I KNOW what works and I promote what works and I promote HONESTY….H O N E S T Y.
If I say it..it is true..PERIOD. If I tell you a reporter in Hollywood has ask me to be her Health & Fitness editor for her new online magazine..it is true. If I tell you I email back and forth with a World Poker champion who is working out to my DVDs..it is true. If I tell you I talk to an American Idol who ‘just missed’ the final 12…it is true…
What I read in emails coming at me about these great products….
Absolutely ridiculous…come one…do some of you really take us for being that ignorant?
An email from someone claiming to ‘only have 5 left!’ of a digital product? What the heck!??!?
Now..I know what you are thinking….
“This is Barry’s online death sentence”
‘Barry will never be able to JV with anyone here.’
‘He is crazy!’
‘He should keep his mouth shut because he will not be able to get affiliates’..
HAHAHA…
The thing is…..
I don’t care….
We all know how things work..
1) You need to know someone…
2) You have to have a big list to be considered to have your product picked up by them.
Listen..I did not raise my family starting at the tender age of 18 by relying on others. When my young girlfriend (now wife) told me she was pregnant, I said in confidence..’Don’t worry. I will take care of us’
For 25 years I have NEVER relied on anyone so it does NOT bother me what others think about this thread. It is reality and after speaking to SEVERAL big names, they feel the same – TRUST ME.
You know who you are…..experienced fit pros who are trying Internet marketing and the new/young guys to the industry… Step back…take a look at what you are doing.
Purchase your products to learn how to be an online marketer, but CHILL OUT….stop trying to do it all at once. Stop sending us emails everyday with blatant lies and bullshit results. We are not ignorant to how the business is supposed to be, so we are pretty good at catching your crap.
You will NOT be Ryan Lee overnight. He IS the master and from what I remember, ‘Grasshopper’ NEVER kicked Master Po’s ass. (if he did I missed it )
Take charge of your business locally and dabble in the online stuff. It may happen one day, but it is NOT going to happen from one purchase or one weekend.
So..there ya have it..I am both pissed at some of you at the same time helping you out. I highly suggest….
You first….build your business locally: FIND YOUR NICHE!
Online later…attend seminars, buy some products and study on the side..it will all come together eventually, but NOT overnight.
Respect your fellow fit pros – PERIOD.
In good health,
Barry
PS – I did not name names, but that doesn’t mean it won’t happen one day
