Why am I ticked off?

That is an easy question to answer….

Because I am SO tired of being used!

First, to answer MANY of your questions….’Who are you pissed off at?’

Let me tell you it is NOT the two biggest names in the online fitness marketing community that you and I have come to know so well…..they are close friends with each other and you and I are most likely on their list.

It is a handful of people who ‘think’ they are them and ‘think’ they can abuse us, both emotionally and financially.

They TRY to act like them, but they do not have the following:

1) Likeable personality

2) Know how

3) Professionalism

What they want is the ‘end result’….

THE BIG BUCKS!

Don’t we ALL want that? Yes, but not at the cost of disrespecting others.

“How many people are on your list Barry”

I am TIRED of this question!

Do you know how many freaking times I am ask this question?

This is what determines a ‘friendship’ or working relationship…NOT a good product.

THIS is what I have a huge problem with….

At the event I talked about in my email about how pissed off I am at the industry, I must have been ask by 5 or more different ‘big boys’, ‘Hey barry, how big is your list’, when I told them, and it was not as large as they would like it to be, they completely ignored me the remainder of the weekend!

So, my frustraion is that MANYof the guys/gals trying to be like the big guns do not care about the health and well being of the world, they ONLY care about their pocket book. The problem I see with that, is it sends a very poor message to our young trainers and fitness professionals.

All they will think about is the money…

Listen to the two big boys I mentioned previously.

What do they say, and what do I say…

If you do not LOVE the business, you should not be in it..

There are a few out there that do not love it and it shows – BIG TIME!

Sorry, if any one does not like what I say, but when I see a handful of guys lying and abusing the people that look up to them, it bothers me…

In good health,

Barry
