Is Your Business a Gym Rat?

Here’s a fun exercise I recently discovered… I attended a marketing conference last week and one of the speakers’ topics was: “FLEXING YOUR MARKETING MUSCLES” It was all about helping companies get better at technology – and most especially their websites.

Is Fitness Branding a Hoax?

All This Talk About “BRANDING…” This topic is near and dear to my heart since it’s been part of my professional career for more than 35 years – so this may be a bit of a rant — or at the very least — a “wake-up call.” First off, it seems that…

First Impressions

It’s amazing how many health and fitness professionals actually DEVALUE themselves. It’s true. And, I know why.

You’d be Home by Now…!
