This past week I was in Toronto, Ontario for a fitness seminar - learning from some of the top fitness and nutrition coaches in the industry.
Even though I've been coaching online since 1997 and was one of the pioneers in this space, I never let ego get in the way. I always approach things with a beginner's mind - open and eager to learn.
And I wanted to make the most of my trip... so I looked into other fitness-related opportunities while I was in town.
Lo and behold, I found out that the Canadian Cycling Centre Velodrome in Milton was running their A Certification Program the very next day. As an avid cyclist, this was right up my alley - so I signed up and completed it!
I've been riding bikes since I was a kid, so technically, I "know how to ride a bike." But I wasn't looking to just ride - I was aiming to level up. And I'm glad I did - my bike handling skills and confidence improved significantly from working with a professional coach.
After over 20 years in the fitness industry, one truth stands out above the rest:
👉 The people who are the most successful are the ones who invest the most into themselves.
They don't say "I already know what to do."
They don't try to figure everything out on their own. They actively seek growth through coaching, mentorship, seminars, and certifications.
Meanwhile, those who struggle often believe they already "know enough" - but have the least results to show for it.
The bottom line:
If you're serious about becoming the best version of yourself - don't let pride hold you back.
✅️ Invest in yourself.
✅️ Hire the coach.
✅️ Attend the seminar.
✅️ Take the course.
Because there is no better ROI than becoming a stronger, smarter, and more capable YOU. 💪
