Hey there, it's me, Steve and I want to share something
REALLY COOL with you before you enjoy this post.
My bro Chris McCombs (The dude who went from broke,
addicted to drugs and living with his mom to... Mega internet
marketing super star) came up with a killer product called
the Auto-Delegation Toolbox
It allows you to get MASSIVE amounts of S*#T done, ON AUTO-PILOT!!!!

>> Try if FREE for just one dollar here if there are any left that is...
Ok... Now for the post.
It's 9:30am on Monday and I'm about to leave for my morning workout.But first
I wanted to make a quick video for you about how working out is directly related to success.
Check it out.
We can talk about fitness and boot camp marketing all day, but this stuff is so important friggin important...
You should soak it up as much as possible.

So this dude named Jaiya Figueras started working at my personal training studio about 5 years ago. He was struggling pretty bad financially and had some dark personal stuff going on (I let him tell you about it)
Anyways, I didn't do much, just gave him a goal and a game plan then he took it from there.
Since then he consistently began pulling in over 10k per month and helps tons of people improve their lives through fitness.
He's also one of the coolest (and funniest) dudes I've ever met.
In this guest post he shares some pretty personal stuff and speaks from the heart.
Enjoy -
Steve told me when I write up a guest post for him that....
I had to be REAL and hold nothing back (No matter what).
Honestly, I just want to help motivate you if you ever feel like you should give up during any part of the day...
Or, maybe you planted a seed of doubt in your heart before laid your eyes on this post.
I am here to tell you that there is light in the world.
Believe it and look for people who walk in it like my man Steve Hochman.
Four years ago I walked into an independent personal training gym with a spirit that was crushed. I had split up with my family and was going broke working at a big chain gym.
That wasn't the worst part.
I wasn't allowed to see my son because of a verbal threat I gave my X in response to her telling me she was going to take my son away from me and I would never see him again.
I had a restraining order and I couldn't see my newborn son for almost a year.
Yeah I know this is personal, but screw it at least its not boring.
I missed his first steps, words, and virtually the first year of his life. I was so depressed and exhausted that sometimes I would just go home and sleep and miss making my $18 dollars an hour over at the corporate gym.
I had no where else to go but up and I sat down at a table with a pen and a paper with Steve Hochman. This was the Steve before the blog but with the same fire and drive.
He asked me 2 things:
(more…)
Heeeeey - Steve Hochman here, and I am SO GREATFUL that a dude like me (who was in special ed, funny looking, no college degree and severe A.D.D) can have a life where my wife will NEVER have to work and my kids will NEVER have to see the inside of a daycare center.
On that note, after spending the weekend with Leanne Ellington at Bedros's AWESOME 7 figure mastermind, she send me this guest post that really resonated with me.
Part of what makes her posts badassoliscious, is her "feel the fear" but do it anyways attitude - I've personally seen her do this.
Enjoy -
It's crazy how POWERFUL negative thoughts can be.
They can single-handedly make or break you-- whether it be in business, in your personal life, in your health and fitness goals - you name it. If you doubt yourself or act as your own personal naysayer, you better believe the outcome will also become a negative one.
This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending Bedros' 7-Figure Mastermind with some heavy-hitters (including the great Steven Hochmanbergstein himself).
You wouldn't know it, but just like everybody else in the world- business owners and non-business owners alike- we were a group of people with the same fears, frustrations, and insecurities as everyone else.
(more…)
I had to cut that video a little short cuz I heard my 2 year old crying upstairs.
But this is WAY important for NEVER having to put up with FEAR and DOUBT again... Ever.
Ok, so have you ever REALLY wanted to achieve something but were overcome with fear and all the reasons why it WOULD'NT work...
Well, the good news is, I'm gonna to show you exactly how to EASILY make those feelings PISS OFF.
Here's how it works...
There's a part of your brain called the cyber cybernetic mechanism (I know, big word for a guy who was in special ed)
Every time this part of your brain senses "change" it sends powerful hormones to make you feel fear and doubt.
And because your sub-conscious mind cannot tell the difference between a thought and reality... If you even think about success, it sends those crappy hormones.
Well, that was cool when we were cavemen, but now it just sucks.
But the GOOD NEWS is you can totally "shut it off"
You see, since your mind can't tell the different between your thoughts and reality, you can totally trick your brain by visualizing.
In other words... When you visualize yourself achieving your goals... And do it with GREAT EMOTION (very important) your brain thinks it's your reality.
So when you actually start taking steps towards achieving it... Your mind can't tell that your environment's changing...

Guest post by
Adam "The Great Knackers" Toohey
Heeeeey everyone, Steve here with another amazing guest post from my good friend Adam Toohey. Adam is a MASSIVE ACTION taker and is a charter member of Fit Body Boot Camp... AKA project X.
Enjoy!
There comes a time in all of our lives that we realize there is much more to life than just ourselves. For some it comes at a very young age, for others it sinks in at a much later date.
There are then those who seemingly never wake up to the reality of growth and contribution.
Whether you are a Personal Trainer, Bootcamp Instructor, Fitness Entrepreneur or Lazy Bum on Welfare there is one thing that will set you apart from everyone else and that is simply this..."Your willingness to give unconditionally"
Twelve months ago I came to Toronto with my clothes, some books and a few bucks. Now coming from Australia is a bloody long way as you can imagine and it would take a gorgeous Canadian Girl to do that. Effectively I packed up my things, left all my friends and family whom I am very close to and set on a path that would ultimately change my life.
A total world of uncertainty lay before me and I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't somewhat scared. I needed some stability and was fortunate enough to get straight into the Fitness Industry albeit at "One of those Gyms" and by that I mean Big Gym Chain Gyms.
I didn't have a website, a blog, hell I didn't even have a URL and yet here I am presenting a guest post for "THE GREAT"... Steve "Knackers" Hochman.
Currently I have a couple of websites that are getting great traffic and I have my hands on a tremendous business opportunity in Fit Body Boot Camp (aka PROJECT X). Oh I also quit my J.O.B. last week at "The Gym" and as of next Tuesday I will be a FREE MAN.
Right now I will flat out tell you that I am not making six figures. (This will be changing very soon) I will also tell you that it has not been my focus and whenever I have focused on "The Money" it has seemingly gotten further and further away.
Don't get me wrong... I LOVE MONEY... especially the Benjamin's... Lots of them... But the truth is that money is just by product of how much you are willing to give.
We have heard this before and it will forever ring true... "If you help people get what they want, you in turn will get what you want"
If you have been following Steve, Chris and Bedros for a while then you will have heard them talk of the "Law of Reciprocity". The law states that if you give without condition to a friend, colleague, peer or otherwise then in time you will be repaid. In some way, shape or form your unconditional contribution will be returned to you by those very same people you gave to. (more…)
Take it from a guy who used to be dirt broke and homeless but is now enjoying an incredible lifestyle…
Success isn’t just about having a good attitude, it’s a DECISION. You have to just DECIDE what you are going to become.
Not what you WANT to become… But what you WILL become.
It’s that simple.
Period.
I came across this video where Will Smith breaks it down like a MOFO!

I was always a little unusual as a kid, besides the fact that I never really talked to anyone in School (besides the teacher) I would usually read 1-2 books a week (while in class). Then go home, study computer programming books and work on that until like 2AM.
One thing I did have right was "I always stayed motivated to do my best at whatever my desire in life was".
Back then it was to learn as much as I could about programming languages (C++, Visual Basic, Delphi, whatever else). While programming has certainly come in handing creating my own website, my main motivation in life now is just massively crushing the competition in my fitness business here locally. That just brings a smile to my face just thinking about it.
Some of my favorite books on the topic of motivation, mindset and success are...
- "Psycho-Cybernetics", by Dan Kennedy.
If you haven't read this one yet, definitely check it out immediately.
- Goes right with "How To Win Friends And Influence People", for me, that one being about how to interact with others, this one how to interact with yourself (sorta).
It goes like this, "The essence of Psycho-Cybernetics is the accurate, calm, and ultimately automatic separation of fact from fiction, fact from opinion, actual circumstance from magnified obstacle, so that our actions and reactions are solidly based on truth, not our own or others' opinions."
- Basically not limiting yourself based on your perceived limits or perceived limitations from others,
- Letting yourself out of the box to just be bold, aggressive and fearless in your life.
- There are so many great nuggets of truth in this book,
whenever I read this book I felt like jumping out and doing something bold and fearless. (more…)
So this guy comes in to one of my boot camps for a workout...
(My boot camp marketing pulls in the coolest folks)
The guy was a total stud!
When he left, one of my boot camp members said to me, "Dude, do you know who that was? It's Peter Vidmar US Olympic Gymnastics Champion... The Only guy to score a perfect 10!"
So I Googled him and it turns out that he's also scored a perfect 10 in his business and family life!
So I said, "Dude, what's you secret, can I interview you for my fitness and boot camp marketing blog?"
He said sure, no problem... But the sweetest part is that I got to do the interview at his house (More like mansion!)
But first Check out this video from my visit to his house...

I Just got off the phone with my buddy Bedros talking about how lucky I feel to have such an awesome group of friends.
Any time I need business advise, I just bring it to the group and PRESTO, I get my answer. Hell, just about every conversation makes me thousands of dollars.
There's an old saying that goes, if you hang out with 9 broke friends, you'll become the 10th broke one.
On the other hand, if you hang around with 9 wealthy friends, YOU'LL BE THE 10th WEALTHY ONE.
That's why I feel so friggin lucky...
Why re-invent the wheel or try to figure out everything yourself. NO WAY... Not me, I'm WAY too lazy for that. Why would you spend hours on something when you could just hit speed dial and get the answer?
Plus, my bro's are all a bunch of marketers like me, and that's good cuz if I start talking about conversion rates, killer copy and force multipliers with anyone else, they just give me the "who farted face."
And the best part is that my group is always telling me "I can do it!!" They pump me up and make me feel like I can literally do ANYTHING.
