#1 Mistake That Makes Most Online Trainers Broke And Frustrated (& How To Avoid To Not Be Like Them)

Hi there. Chris Lynton here from TribeFIT, and in today's video I'm going to be taking you through the number one mistake that makes most online trainers broke and frustrated. And if you make this mistake, you're going to set yourself up for failure and a hell of a lot of pain. But before I get into today's video, you might be saying, hang on a sec. Who are you? My name is Chris Lynton. I'm the founder of TribeFIT, and at TribeFIT I help trainers and online coaches, nutritionists who are stuck in the face-to-face time for money trap. And help them get consistency over their client generation, get them to a good income level, and their goals in record time. And give them predictability, consistency over their client generation and charging what they're worth.

Now, as I mentioned in today's video, we're going to be going through the number one mistake I see online trainers, online coaches make that causes them to be broke and frustrated. And if you make this mistake or potentially you're already making this mistake, it'll help you ensure that you don't go down that path that continues in a failure, pain and all that sort of stuff. And wondering, you know, is it you? Are you not working hard enough? Or whatever you're doing.

Now I speak to a lot of trainers and coaches and you know, they're doing a bit of everything. They're trying as hard as they can. They're putting in as much time as they can, you know, after hours of their full time job, and they're all making this mistake. And as a result, they're not able to scout. Now the number one mistake is not monetizing fast enough. And I'm going to repeat that, not monetizing fast enough. And I'm not talking about making $10, $20, whatever it might be. I'm talking about getting it to a level where it can replace your face-to-face income, if not more, to allow you to put more time, more focus, more energy into it, and allow it to grow to another level.

Now the reason why this is the number one mistake, and like I mentioned, I speak to trainers, coaches, nutritionists all the time that are looking to get online. And they're like, Chris, I've been doing this for six months, 12 months, two months, two years, whatever it might be. And you know, they're doing this, they're doing podcasts, they're doing blogging, they're doing outreach, they're doing content, they're trying a bit of Facebook ads or whatever it might be. Alternatively, they're working on their videos, their programmes, their platform and online membership site.

And the first question I ask them is how much money have you made on this and how long have you been doing it for? And unfortunately the common answer is that they spent way too much time and made way too little. And as a result, the reason why this is the number one mistake that will cause you to be broke and frustrated and end up probably giving in is because if you don't get income fast enough, working on something and thinking, I'm going to build up my audience. I'm going to get more followers, I'm going to work on my platform, my videos, my whatever it might be. Doing that for a couple of months and not making a single dollar, you know, what do you need to do?

Everybody needs to eat. Everybody needs to pay bills or do whatever they need to do for themselves and their families. And as a result, your focus and your attention goes when money flows. And I'll say that again. It's very, very powerful, very, very important. If you can remember one thing from this video, your focus and attention goes where money flows. So what does that mean? You might have the best intentions and you might have the most drive and motivation, possibly, potentially. You're working all day long, but you're getting up, crazy early mornings just to work on your online business for a little while.

And then as soon as you get home, you're exhausted but you're bashing out even more work again. But unfortunately, if you do that for a couple of weeks and you're not making money, you're not monetizing it and you're not getting clients fast enough, then what happens? You know the bills come in, the bill starts stacking up or you start getting a bit tired and what happens? You put your focus, your energy back to you face-to-face job, the one that you're trying to get out of. Your energy, your focus goes back to that because why? That is what bringing in the money and that's what allows you to put food on the table, allows you to pay bills, whatever it might be, and your focus and energy goes back to that. And then your online job you're on, sorry. Your online business that you're trying to grow, it starts getting less and less time, attention, focus and it doesn't get the best of you.

Your job, your day, your day to day job that you do and you're exhausted. You come back, then you jump on, you try and do some stuff online and you're exhausted. It doesn't get the best of you, and it doesn't get what it needs to grow. And so as a result, if you are working on something for six months and you haven't made a dollar from it yet, more than likely what's going to happen is you're going to lose motivation, you're going to lose inspiration, and you're going to start second guessing yourself. You're going to be tired because you've got a full time job, and it's not making any money.

So as a result you're probably going to start second guessing yourself. You're probably going to start putting less time and energy to it, and it's not going to go anywhere. And then low and behold, you'll be broke, you'll be frustrated and you end up giving up thinking it was you thinking it was something you were doing wrong or maybe you weren't motivated enough or whatever it might be and you'll be down on yourself.

But in actual fact, the problem is not monetizing fast enough in a big level. If you did it the right way. And you know you go online and your focus is to get clients to help people, but to get income fast. You know if you are able to in say the first two or three weeks or first three or four weeks replace the income, that you're getting face-to-face with your online, guess what's going to happen? You're going to start pulling back time from your face-to-face. You're going to put more time and energy and the best of you into your online. And what's going to happen? It's going to grow. It's going to go to that next level. It's going to get you what you need so you can exit out of face-to-face completely if that's your goal, get into online and then take it to the next level and then the next level.

It's just obvious. Focusing energy goes where cash and money flows. Hopefully that makes sense. Now if you're making this mistake, you need to start focusing on generating clients, generating income and I'm not talking about $5, $10. I'm talking about levels at where you're face-to-face business brings in on a month to month basis. The faster and sooner you can get there, the faster and sooner you can transition and put more energy and time into your online. It can grow further and further and you're out of that time for money trap, that's exhausting.
