I have heard it said that “Showing up is half the battle”, and while that may be true you still have to do something once you get there to achieve victory.
You can have plans out the wazoo, but if you don’t implement them, you aren’t going to get very far.
I was reminded of this as Nancy and I head down to Louisville (Jamaica -yeah right!) for a coaching conference today. It is the fifth time I have been to Louisville, and every time I come back with a tremendous amount of “actionable” information on coaching and business.
Every year the hosts of the event hand out a book with outlines of all the presentations and workshops. I can look over my left shoulder right now and see the ones from past trips.
Here’s a couple questions for you: Does having that manual on my bookshelf make my coaching any better? Does that 300 page book cause my skills to improve and our business to serve our clients better?
No, and No.
Because if I don’t take action on the information in those books, a tree got cut down for nothing – just a big waste.
I’ll admit that my shelf is littered with business books that did me no good for years, because I read them, put them back on the shelf, and did nothing about it. Until I stopped chasing “shiny objects”, the latest and greatest theory or method, I never got anything done, and my training business floundered.
When I think back on it I give a lot of credit to Danno (Dan Yeaton) for getting me off my duff. I was training a few clients one-on-one, and he kept asking me to do an early morning class. Finally we did the one thing that changed everything. We set a stake in the ground and set a date and time of May 8, 2008 at 5:00am for our first Get Fit NH Bootcamp training session, and then we actually held the class – action was taken!
While taking that step didn’t guarantee the measure of success we have had, without it there would be no Get Fit NH Bootcamp.
So what does that mean to you?
Are you distracted by shiny objects? I see many people who want to lose weight get distracted by the shiny objects of the diet industry, reading book after book, watching show after show, and never getting around to doing anything.
What is the one thing you are going to do today that will make a measurable difference to your goals?
Don’t just think about it…
Make It Happen!

There’s still a few snowflakes flying, but that’s New England! Ignore them and see what’s been happening at Get Fit NH Bootcamp!
Don’t like to do it guys, but it looks like the smart thing to do is hunker in the bunker this morning, so we are canceling morning classes. I am basing this decision not only what’s going on now, but the following weather reports:
Through 9am: Snow will fall at varying intensities. Some of the snow will fall heavily especially around 7am.
IMPACTS: ROADS WILL BECOME SNOW COVERED BY MORNING RUSH HOUR FRIDAY MORNING. THE WET SNOW WILL MAKE ROADS ESPECIALLY SLIPPERY AND MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT AT TIMES. WET SNOW WILL ALSO ACCUMULATE ON EXPOSED SURFACES INCLUDING TREES… POSSIBLY CAUSING SOME VULNERABLE TREE LIMBS TO SNAP.
A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR HEAVY SNOW MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW ARE FORECAST
THAT WILL MAKE TRAVEL DANGEROUS. ONLY TRAVEL IN AN EMERGENCY.
We will send another email relating to afternoon and evening classes later in the day.
But you aren’t getting off that easy!
We are going to hold a special “Pre-Recovery Week” Saturday Bootcamp from 8:00am – 9:00am in both locations, because it’s just not nice to end this fantastic session with a whimper. π
This workout will be optional and missing it will not count against S3, but we still want to pack the house – See you there!
If you have any questions, let us know. Thank-you for choosing to train with us!
Dean & Nancy
I joined Get Fit NH Bootcamp last summer after I had been a Facebook fan for over a year. I was getting their email updates and checking out their Facebook page weekly.
I read the word Bootcamp and at the age of 53 was afraid it would be for the very young and fit. My daughter Jessica Bates (who is young and fit) joined and encouraged me try the 2 weeks free! I said sure I will try it as I have nothing to lose!
Once I tried it I realized this is not just for the young and fit and I personally do not think “Bootcamp” describes the program. In Epsom Nancy Carlson is our coach and she is Amazing, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Energentic, Fantastic, ……….. No matter what your fitness level is she will keep you working towards your goal-no one isΒ left behind.
We have young members and older members, members that have had babies, surgery or an injury. Nancy works with each member and specializes their workouts each day. I have gotton stronger and I am doing things I thought were impossible. Try it like I did and you will love it! – Elizabeth Holmes
Thanks Betty!
Trust you are having a great day Making It Happen!
Thank-you once again for making Get Fit NH Bootcamp the “Best Gym In Concord” for the 2nd year in a row and for voting Nancy “Best of the Best” Fitness Trainer.
We would be honored if you would vote for us again – this time for The Concord Insider “Cappies” awards in the category of Best Gym or Health club.
This survey is NOT as long as the Hippo Press was, and we sure would appreciate you taking the time. Last year we won third place in this category, and this year we are shooting for the top! π
It appears the category of “Best Fitness Instructor” is not in there this year, so I guess Dean gets to hold onto it forever! π
Please go to http://www.theconcordinsider.com/cappies/ to vote!
Thank-you for choosing to train with Get Fit NH Bootcamp!
This recipe can be adapted in an almost infinite variety of ways, and it can be prepared in about 3 minutes flat.
Eat Breakfast!
Ingredients:
2 whole eggs or (1/2 cup Egg Beaters Original)
One wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese, cut into pieces
Directions:
Spray a large microwave-safe mug lightly with nonstick spray. Stir egg and cheese well. Microwave for about a minute. Stir gently, and then microwave for another 30 – 45 seconds, until scramble is just set. You can also add a teaspoon of salsa and one tablespoon of black beans for a Mexican mug. Or even 2 ounces of cut ham, or what about a ΒΌ cup of chopped asparagus and red pepper? And then there is an ounce of salmon and three cherry tomatoes. Oh the combinations you can come up with!
Make It – and Make It Happen!
