Personal trainers..... everything you've ever been told about giving nutritional advice is wrong!
Every Personal Trainer Needs To Ask Themselves...................
Have you ever wondered why personal trainers and life coaches refer their clients to a clerk at the local nutrition store who has good intentions, but doesn't have a clue about health, fitness and nutrition? And, the trainer receives ZERO dollars!
Why do some people say personal trainers cannot talk about nutrition? Funny, huh?
You can write a book about nutrition!
You, the personal trainer, can have a TV or radio show talking about nutrition!
You can make an information product about nutrition!
You can conduct a seminar about nutrition!
You can have information on your website about nutrition!
A plumber who has never exercised in his life can sell an MLM/network marketing product.
Heck, Suzanne Somers (an actress) has written many books on nutrition, supplementation and healthy living.
So...... I ask you............ Why wouldn't a well-educated and entrepreneurial fitness professional be able to operate his or her own online nutrition store?
Right! There is no reason why you shouldn't sell quality nutritional products!
YOU SHOULD OFFER YOUR CLIENTS NUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS!

More details:
1) There is absolutely NO LAW that states who can or can not sell dietary supplements. This would be discriminatory.
2) There is a massive movement going on, whereas medical doctors, dietitians, personal trainers, and wellness professionals are now acknowledging the scientific efficacy of nutraceutical therapy. That said, these individuals realize that their clients will ask them for advise and initial consultation.
Therefore, one must ask themselves, "why should their client then go to GNC or VitaminShoppe to make the final purchase?"
3) Some certification organizations, (you know who they are) do indeed frown upon their trainers selling dietary supplements. However, many active professionals believe this school of thought has no legal foundation, nor does it have logical foundation. To support this view, one must analyze the facts within the industry. IE: Anybody (like a realtor) can sell for Herbalife and anybody can open a GNC franchise. Therefore, if people look at MNS as an online franchise then they should concur with the facts stated above. Have you ever heard of a realtor who sells Herbalife being sued or hurting someone with vitamin C?
And a final thought........
Who do you know personally who has become ill due to taking vitamins?
Who do you know who has died from taking vitamins?
How many of your clients ASK THEIR DOCTORS about vitamins?
If they did ask, how many doctors would have a clue what to say?
So, I ask you, please bring me one person's records who has become ill or died from taking non-stimulant nutritional supplements.
FACTS:
- 10,000 people die each year from asprin-related causes.
- Most energy drinks have as much, or more, stimulants than diet pills that were taken off the market by the FDA.
How many people do you know who have died from drinking
"Red Bull" or "Rock Star"? They are not good for you, but nobody is dying
- By the way, these stimulant diet pills were taken off the market just preceding the release of the FDA-approved prescription diet pill "Alli". Coincidence?...... likely not!
- The FDA approved Vioxx and deemed it safe. Tens of thousands of people became ill and even died from its use.
- The FDA also approved Fen Phen and deemed it safe
for weight loss and hundreds of thousands of people developed heart ailments and even died.
- MNS has a complete research library to show the effectiveness and correct usage for all of their supplements. As a store owner, you have full access to this information.
- None of the MNS products have stimulants.
It's called "Health Freedom"......... exercise it!
The government will pay your $3,000 to open your virtual nutrition store!
You could save even more!
Here are seven reasons why it pays to work at home:
1. To gain personal freedom. The most enticing aspect of starting a home-based business is the opportunity it provides to gain control over your own life. As a home business entrepreneur, you can shape your work life depending on your goals and environment. There are no bosses to follow, no corporate culture to abide by, and no rigid work schedules nor time clocks. Instead, you have the freedom to work and earn as you choose, in the comfort and convenience of your own homes. Of course, having all the time and freedom to work as you please also has its drawback. Thus, a home business entrepreneur needs to have good time management skills and discipline to push yourself to work.
2. To reap financial benefits. The financial benefits of working at home are equally attractive. The convenience of having your office a few steps away from your bed allows you to save on commute time, gasoline and transportation expenses. There is also little need to buy power suits and dress up every workday as you can work in your jogging outfit or pajama. Since you work at home, you save on rental payments and overhead costs are cut significantly; allowing you to plough all your capital and profits back into the business. Your earning potential is directly proportional to your performance: no more waiting for your boss to give you your raise or promotion before you can increase your income. More importantly, however, a home business allows people who have been frequently shut out of the job market--homemakers, students, retirees, and the disabled, to name a few-to to create new income opportunities.
3. To take advantage of massive tax advantages. Using your home as a place of business offers a number of tax advantages. For starters, it allows you to deduct a part of the operating and depreciation expenses on your home. This means that a percentage of your rent or mortgage payment, depreciation, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and expenses for household maintenance, repairs, or improvements is deductible. You can also be entitled to deduct expenses from using a vehicle for your business, including gas, insurance, depreciation, and others. Consult your accountant for a careful evaluation of what can be and what cannot be deducted from using your home office.
3. To be with the family. Many opt to start their business from their homes to strengthen family relationships. A home business allows family members to be involved in the business. Husbands or wives can help in various aspects of the business, while children have the opportunity to see what their parents do for a living. Parents, most especially, can both work and earn, while taking care of their children; although daycare arrangements or babysitter may be needed to help you concentrate on the work at hand.
4. To reduce stress. Working at home can reduce the stress of juggling the demands of your work life with those of your private life. You can work while staying at home to care for a sick child, or continue to work late at night after preparing and sharing dinner with the family. Since you work alone, there is no office politics and deadlines imposed by your boss. You only need to follow the deadlines and schedules you have set for yourself.
5. For job enrichment. As a home-based entrepreneur, you are not boxed into one job and given a label identifying you as a researcher, secretary, banker, manager, or administrative assistant. You are free to learn and perform a variety of work-related tasks. If you are a solo entrepreneur, then you even have to be ready of being all things for your business: the strategy setter, marketing and sales person, customer service representative, accountant and bookkeeper, and other roles. You can vary your activities to keep you from getting bored. While it means greater workload, the plus point is that you develop an understanding of all aspects of your own business. More importantly, personal growth is greatly enhanced as you learn what you can (and cannot do) and your goals become much more achievable.
6. To increase productivity. Many home-based entrepreneurs find that working at home helps them to be more productive. With lesser time dedicated to commuting, there is more time available to work. More importantly, working for your own business - wherein the amount of financial compensation depends on your productivity and business management - increases the level of enthusiasm. Many get so caught up in what they're doing that it's actually hard for them to stop.
7. To harness competitive advantages. One of the biggest benefits of working out of your home is the reduced overhead cost. Lower operating costs can enable you to be more competitive, not just in the prices you charge but also in the quality of service you offer. You can use the money you save on rent to increase your overall profitability, or you can pass it on to customers in the form of lower prices. Competitors restricted by higher overhead costs have no such options. What they charge is predetermined by their rental agreements. The higher the rent, the higher their prices. Moreover, a smaller business makes it easier to provide customers with personal service.
