I’ve told this story a million times.

But I never get tired of it.

I started working on a project I called ‘BodyBuildersReality.com‘ in 2006.

1) The project was a DVD of the month

2) It was shot “reality style”

3) It starred Lee Priest - the most outrageous and popular pro bodybuilder in the world

I didn’t know “jack” about video cameras, editing, fulfillment,etc.

But I knew that I had a great idea and that I needed to ACT ON IT!

No fear, no hesitation just all out testosterone driven fury and energy to get it done.

Lee and I traveled to Alaska and Brazil.  All expenses paid.  Met new friends and contacts.

I went to The Arnold in 2007 as Lee’s guest and hung out at the MuscleMag booth.

I met Robert Kennedy - the publisher of Muscle Mag.

I picked his brain and asked him what the biggest mistakes that he made were and what the biggest successes were.

For 2 years, we produced a profitable DVD of the month (recurring income), entertained and offended.

Man, we had a BLAST!

And in 2008, we wrapped up the project.

I cannot stress how important it is to TAKE ACTION if  you have an idea for a product or business.

If I had not taken action, I wouldn’t have met Monica Brant and started another DVD of the month program at fitnessandfigurereality.com

I wouldn’t have met my great friend and mentor, Joe Vitale.

I wouldn’t have worked with the Austin’s Mayor Council on Fitness.

I wouldn’t have been asked to do a monthly radio spot on Austin’s Fitness Show at talk radio 1370.

I wouldn’t have met and worked with great people like Robert Rodriguez‘ ex wife, film maker and producer, Elizabeth Avalon

note - Elizabeth Avalon is the Vice President of ‘TroubleMaker Studios’ and has produced the following BLOCKBUSTER films:

• Spy Kids (2001) Distributed by Dimension Films
• Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams (2002) Distributed by Dimension Films
• Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003) Distributed by Dimension Films
• Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003) Co-distributed by Columbia Pictures and Dimension Films
• Sin City (2005) Distributed by Dimension Films
• The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D (2005) Co-distributed by Dimension Films and Columbia Pictures
• Grindhouse (2007) Distributed by Dimension Films
• Planet Terror (2007) Distributed by Dimension Films
• Death Proof (2007) Distributed by Dimension Films
• Shorts (2009) Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures

I wouldn’t have met lead singer of the Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl either.

OK, just kidding about meeting Dave BUT it’s on my to do list.

As Joe Vitale, says - “You’re money is in your passion“.

My passion is fitness, video, and helping other fitness professionals with their marketing and product creation.

It’s why I created “How To Make Money In BodyBuilding, Fitness and Figure 101!”

Read all about it at www.howtomakemoneyinfitness.com

So.BodyBuildersReality.com has been good to me.

And we’ve just released, “The Best Of BodyBuildersReality.com” with Lee Priest!

It’s available at www.bestofbodybuildersreality.com

And it’s got a KICK ASS affiliate program where we paying out nearly 50% on each sale!

If there were only 2 things that I would concentrate on these days as an entrepreneur it would be:

• Affiliate programs
• Upsells

I wouldn’t waste my time on anything other than those 2 things.

You can discover the power of working with me and Lee Priest as an affiliate (it’s free) here!

Lastly, once you learn your skill whether it be as a fitness trainer, a lawyer, an actor, a model, a videographer, etc spend TWICE as much time learning how to market yourself.

Trust me on that one.
