According to this recent report, job satisfaction has fallen to a record low.

And according to this study, the number of millionaires GREW in 2009 by 16 percent.

(I’d be willing to bet that most of the millionaires job satisfaction is high)

The reason for the difference in wages?

"For the most part it is driven by increasing skills and earnings at the top and decreasing skills at the bottom," says Carol Graham, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

What does this have to do with you and fitness?

Everything if you are interested in following your passion, being your own boss and making money in this soon to be trillion dollar a year industry.

By partnering with technology and the internet you can create passive income, make money while you sleep, workout, travel and cram down doughnuts on your cheat day!

This 12 CD/Multimedia package is chock full of the knowledge, resources, and secrets that I use everyday to create more and more wealth in the fitness industry.

In this series I interviewed amazing individuals like: Jennifer Nicole Lee, Joe Vitale, Nancy Georges, Clifta Coulter Perez, Nita Marquez and more!

Here’s an excerpt from CD 12 (February 2010):

“As I look back over the past year, I’m proud of the information that we’ve covered in this program.
This information is still rock solid and relevant in terms of your being able to build a business in the bodybuilding and fitness industry.
I’m still doing it.
I’m still creating ebooks.

2 very inspiring interviews with IFBB Pro Bodybuilder, Clifta Coulter Perez and IFBB Pro Fitness Competitor, Nita Marquez!

Clifta has been following the advice that I give out in these monthly CD’s since March 2009 and since then she has gotten more clients, started a fitness bootcamp in her own indoor location, she’s building a growing following on youtube.

She understands how to better market herself and her growing fitness empire and LOOK OUT for Clifta in 2010!

Nita is just getting started in the online world.  Nita is a single Mom of 3 kids, an IFBB Pro Fitness competitor and is soaking up the basics of how to market herself online using all of the free tools and technology at our  …

I started collecting Muscle and Fitness, Flex, Ironman and some of the other bodybuilding magazines around 1985.

I remember Clifta.

In the early 90’s, Clifta Coulter started appearing in Flex magazine as well as Ironman, Muscle and Fitness and others.

In 1996, Clifta turned pro by winning the Overall USA Championships.

She competed a bit and then changed directions in her life.

Clifta began to immerse herself in her personal training business and in her love for horses.

Time went by.

In early 2009, I began working with Clifta on the business side of fitness.

You see, too many bodybuilders, fitness and figure competitors and enthusiasts simply don’t have the time or knowledge to invest in the business of bodybuilding and fitness.

I love to help.

It’s what my passion is.  It’s what part of my business is. 

Coaching, mentoring, creating.

Since early 2009, Clifta has  …

Have you ever had someone ask you - “Do you workout?”

Or

“How did you get such great abs?”

Or

“How can I build biceps like yours?”

These are potential customers.

And they will pay you for your training information.

With the internet, we (as bodybuilders, fitness and figure enthusiasts) have a gold rush of opportunity in the “Wellness Industry” to create passive income, leverage our time and design the life that we truly desire!

As a result of this “internet gold rush”, I consider myself to be retired these days.

I work when and where I want and with whom I want.

I make money in the fitness industry throughout the day.

Every day.

It’s an amazing time and there are amazing opportunities if you are a business minded bodybuilder, fitness or figure competitor or enthusiast.

Here’s why:

The “Wellness Industry” (e.g. health  …

Digital book readers could soon become the ‘next big thing’, as new models with new features are released this fall.

If you doubt that the shift to electronic publishing is happening, check this out. According to Amazon, the digital version of Dan Brown’s new thriller "The Lost Symbol" is outselling the paper version at Amazon.

Basically more people are buying the downloadable, Kindle version, than are buying the print version - at least through Amazon.

What makes this more amazing is that there are only 3 million Kindle owners! Imagine what would happen if there were 100 million ebook readers out there.

This is good news for info publishers of all sizes. If the trend holds, it means that when ereaders are mainstream, digital books could be major sellers.

Digital books are far less expensive to duplicate and  …

“Hey, Scott , do  you want to be in my soon to be nationally televised infomercial?”

“Sure, Joe, what it’s about?”, I asked.

“How my products have helped you along in your fitness business.”

That’s all I needed to hear.

“When and where?”, I asked.

Go here to read Joe Vitale’s account of the infomercial…

Yesterday afternoon, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jennifer Nicole Lee (JNL) for my CD of the month called "How To Make Money In BodyBuilding, Fitness and Figure 101!"

Wow!

What a smart business woman and a super nice person!

In this 30 minute power packed, supercharged interview for CD 6 of www.howtomakemoneyinfitness.com I found out the following:

She’s a mother of 2 boys
She’s never competed in fitness or figure yet has built an EMPIRE of products - books, ebooks, coaching programs, fitness equipment and more
She does most of her internet stuff by herself - little to no help from web designers, etc
She follows her passion and hired a mentor to get where she wanted to go quickly
She just became a very enthusiastic affiliate for www.howtomakemoneyinfitness.com
She’s got a new book due out (which  …

According to Internet entrepreneurs Brock Felt and Buck Rizvi, products sold online
can be divided into four categories:

1 - Products that alleviate the prospect’s pain.

2 - Products that solve a problem. (example:  www.outdoorfitnessgames.com - trainers who need ideas for their class)

3 - Products that give or enable pleasure. (example:  www.bodybuildersreality.com or www.fitnessandfigurereality.com - these are entertainment videos)

4 - Products that prevent a problem or condition.

Of these, #1 and #2 are the easiest to sell, because people feel an urgent need to solve the
problem or get rid of the pain.

Pleasure is desirable but its attainment is less urgent, making products in category #3
more difficult to sell.

Products in category #4 are the most difficult to sell-because, as health marketers have
long known, people will buy cure but not prevention.
