We live in a remarkable time right now where technology has given us access to the best people in the industry and to a world of education with a few clicks of the mouse.
We can network with almost anyone in the industry on Facebook and Twitter.
Having discussions on membership sites and forums is run of the mill these days.
We can view Webinars when we can’t travel to seminars.
New/Old exercises and techniques are uploaded to YouTube everday.
Ebooks are delivered without wires to our phones, tablets, and E-Readers.
We can even get tours of some of the best gyms in the country without leaving our couch.
Think about how much we can do today that we couldn’t just 10 years ago or even 5 years ago.
Google is barely 13 years old. YouTube is only 7 years old. What did we do before we had Google to search for everything? or YouTube to bring us videos every day?
The point is that we have it easy as an industry today, and need to take advantage of this. There are no excuses to not being using these tools and trying to improve ourselves every day. There are no excuses not to be better!
Stop complaining about the attention Jillian Michaels or P90X gets, and make yourself better instead. The better we are as an industry the better our clients will be.
This doesn’t mean to believe every article you find on Google or every video you see on YouTube. Be selective about what information you learn, and who you learn it from. Luckily there are sites to help with this problem.
