Newly Qualified PT – where the hell do I start?

1. Goals and numbers

It all starts with being clear about what you need and want, and by when.
This is kinda like driving from one location to another.

You need to:

know how much income you would need to be earning and by when.
project how many hours you will be working as a fitpro and by when
be clear on the deadlines you’ll set yourself.
Set goals for 1month, 3 month, 12 month and 3 years.

2. Get a coach/mentor

Don’t do it on your own.

Get a mentor that has done what you wanna do.

Or at the very least a friend/family member that can hold you accountable to the goals and deadlines you set

3. Focus on solid foundations

Most fitpros that bailout of the industry early (or never start) do so because they had low confidence and zero experience.

Start lower on the ladder by getting experience in a gym, or working for another bootcamp owner.

This is like you earning your apprenticeship

It’s you learning the ropes and getting paid a secure (even if not very much) wage that will allow you to experiment, make mistakes and learn valid lessons.

4. Remember WHY

Remind yourself why you wanted to qualify in the first place and make it super important to yourself that you achieve the goal.

The brighter and more passionate the goal, the easier it will be to overcome the obstacles, the lessons and the pits along the way.

It’s kinda like the lord of the rings. Retrieving the “precious” ring was so important that Frodo went to hell and back for it, and kept pushing forwards.

Follow these FOUR principles to ensure you kickstart on the right foot in your career as a newly qualified pt or fitpro
