Happy Trainer + Happy Clients = Profitable Business

After writing my first book review for this new blog I realized I didn’t really give an explicit reason why trainers should read the book Time Rich Cash Optional by Cliff Harvey. So here it is: happiness lifestyle design. Cliff’s book is all about how to create a lifestyle of happiness, most trainers are already happy (at least most of the trainers I know are) but if you aren’t completely happy or if you find yourself not reaching your full potential than you are more than likely to find some helpful hints in this book.

The words Time Rich in the title really hit home with me as a trainer, I want to be able to spend my time doing the things that I want to do. These things include: training clients, training myself, reading books, playing with my dog, playing sports, socializing with friends and family, and hanging out with my girl. If you aren’t in control of your schedule it makes it very difficult to do these things, and this is why Cliff puts so much value on the currency time. Cliff provides you with the tools to take control of your schedule so that you can live a life full of rich experiences. When you are in control of your time you are going to be better able to give your best to your clients and that is what your job is all about as a trainer.




If you are already a happy trainer or when you become an even happier trainer after reading TRCO you can take the lessons and exercises (from the ends of each chapter) and begin to use them with your clients. To be truly successful as a trainer and change someone’s life you need to do more than give them a great 60minute training session you need to affect their lives the other 167hours of the week. This is where lifestyle design really comes in handy, and Cliff has loads of experience in this department as he has been the trainer/coach/consultant to many world class athletes and athletes. Help your clients get the body they lust after by helping them create the life of their dreams!

Happy trainer + happy clients = profitable business.
