How I became Canada's #1 Weight Loss Coach

I've not always been an expert at weight loss.  In fact, I grew up in an obese family and in my late 20s, I found myself 30 lbs overweight -- and depressed. Now, as I think back to the beginning where I owned my own weight loss center, I took some very specific steps to the #1 weight loss coach.   

1) My first weight loss "venture"


I decided that I wanted to open my own business, and ended up buying a weight loss center franchise. I figured that this would be perfect.  I could deal with my own weight issues and help others do the same.

Unfortunately, it didn't work that way.  I had no idea how to actually lose weight and keep it off permanently.  Sure, the franchise company trained me -- on their system.  But they didn't teach my clients or me how to keep the weight off permanently.

I struggled on for 10 years, eventually owning 5 weight loss centers. Yet, I became more and more frustrated with the lack of results my clients were getting. 95% of the people who start commercial weight loss programs fail.  And the record of mine was no better.

2) Discovering a new approach


But then I started to learn techniques that were not taught by the franchisor.  I discovered that my clients' attitude had a big impact on whether they were going to be successful.  I was fascinated and decided to learn more.

Since I no longer believed in the program my company was selling, I sold my business and set out on a mission of learning what helped people become successful in their quest for weight loss.

I attended workshops all across North America and studied everything I could get my hands on about how a person's mindset relates to their behavior.

3) The MindBody FX program and business system

Finally, I decided to create a better system, one where people actually would succeed.  The result:  the MindBody FX program.  But I didn't stop there.  So many people in the health, wellness, and fitness industry were struggling with the same frustrations I did. 

So I decided to combine my MindBody FX program with a business system.  With that new program, I could teach coaches, personal trainers, and other health and wellness professionals to use the mindset tools to create more success for their own clients -- and great success for their business.

4) Gaining visibility

My system was very different from the rest of the industry.  This helped me get press as a weight loss expert and stake my claim to a new approach, with a mind-body connection.

I was featured on the TV show 180 Life & Style Makeovers, CNBC, in newspapers, and on radio stations across North America. I was also speaking to numerous live audiences.

Now, do you want to become a top expert in weight loss?

I recently did a free webinar where I reveal how you can build a 6-figure + income in the health, fitness and wellness industry by becoming a MindBody FX Facilitator. This webinar has been featured on CNBC, Fox and a number of other websites.
