Do You Waste Your Time?

Where do you spend your time? Do you waste your time?

Do you spend your time and energy thinking and acting on projects or items you can change, or do you whittle away your hours on things you have no control over?

Stephen Covey refers to the concept of Two Circles. The large circle is called your “Circle of Concern“. In this Circle of Concern are all of the things that are of concern to you. For example, your health, world peace, what you are going to eat for lunch, whether your train will be on time, and so on.

Within your Circle of Concern is a smaller circle. It is called your “Circle of Influence“. In your Circle of Influence are all the things that you can influence such as your health or what you are going to eat for lunch.

Covey suggests that Highly Effective People live within their “Circle of Influence” not their “Circle of Concern”.

If we spend our time worrying, gossiping and stressing about the things we have no influence over, we are wasting our time.

Some of you may ask, “But what about world peace? It’s OK to think about that.”  Of course it is, but wouldn’t it be better to think about what you can do today, tomorrow and every day which can influence world peace?

Too many of us get stressed about things in our life we can’t influence or can’t be bothered influencing. Too many of us would rather gossip at the water fountain about what someone else is doing instead of going to the cause of the problem and trying to resolve it. It’s easier to find supporters to validate your ideas than it is to try to do something to change the status quo.

If we spent most, if not all of our time in our Circle of Influence something magical happens…IT GROWS!

If you become the person with the solution, not the whinger, people will come to you for guidance.

If you think above and beyond what is required you will become more valuable, and hence people will pay more money to have you around.

If you think about what you can do, rather than point the finger at what others are not doing, you could make a difference. Heavens,…maybe even world peace!

Give Yourself Space For Success!

An Interesting Concept - Finding Space for Success in Your Life!

Answer me this - Do you have enough space for Success in Your Life?

What I mean is, do you have time in your life when you are able to ponder? So many of us are so busy in “the thick of thin things” as Stephen Covey puts it, or “majoring in the minors” according to Tony Robbins that we don’t have time to wonder what is possible. The time we take to sit and dream can pay us enormous dividends. It’s when we stop having conversations with the voices in our heads (yes, we all have them) that creativity has the opportunity to take place.

Remember Pavlov’s dog? There is a gap between stimulus (the bell ringing), and response (the dog salivating) where we humans have the opportunity to choose. Do you recognize that gap? Being able to choose our response, rather than reacting (or over reacting) to any situation is what separates us from animals.

Are you choosing wisely or simply responding the way you’ve always responded? That gap can make all the difference. Have you heard the saying “if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”

If you’re happy with what you’re getting keep doing what you’re doing. If you want better results, take a moment… Ever considered a career in the fitness and health industry?

What’s so important about making a difference?
Consider the alternative. How would feel about a career that doesn’t benefit anyone? A job (justify our breathing) that you turn up to each day, doing the same stuff, with mediocre outcomes? Sounds fairly uninspiring doesn’t it?

The health and fitness industry is making a difference.
As a personal fitness trainer or massage therapist you can change people’s lives - for the better! Make a difference by helping people take control of their lives, losing weight, gaining strength, avoiding cardiovascular disease, having more energy and relieving stress.

Making a difference is what will inspire you to get up each day!

Personal trainers make a difference every day inspiring their clients to exercise harder, with better direction, better exercise selection, and ultimately better results. Massage therapists make a difference every day with their clients releasing tight muscles, avoiding pain and injury and reducing stress.Full time personal trainers and massage therapists enjoy a lifestyle and a purpose for life that few other careers can offer.

So where do you go to get a career, not just a qualification? Which educational facility will “Make a difference” for you?
WYN Training stands for “What You Need”. Courses have been designed with career outcomes so our graduates are successful in the health and fitness industry. Graduates from WYN work in every major health club chain, small facility and sporting organisation in Australia. Many graduates take their skills abroad.

So what does WYN do that guarantees your success? Classes are available at four campuses in Victoria, plus South Australia and NSW. Full time courses can get you industry ready in eight weeks as a personal trainer or nine weeks as a massage therapist. Part time courses are available to work around other study or working commitments. Classes have a maximum number of 16 students each. This means you get 200% more attention from your lecturers than the industry average.

Finally they have the MAD Training System (Making A Difference). An integrated approach to changing someone’s behavior and actions to give them the results they want.  It’s that attention to detail that makes the difference.

To your success,
