“Success leaves clues.”

I believe that if you want to be successful, then you should model successful people. Successful people find people that are experts in the area they want to be successful in. Not their neighbors, or aunt or uncle or friends but real experts who have real world experience.

Successful people also look for someone that they can model that has done what they want to do. They study the habits and patterns and mind set of successful people in order to observe and learn the so called secrets and model them.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear

Another key element for this to work is that you must remain open minded and be willing to be teachable. You can’t be a know it all. “You must empty your cup.”

Successful people also don’t wait for everything to be perfect in their lives. It they did, they would be waiting forever because there is never a perfect time. They just make a decision and commitment and start making things happen one step at a time.

To make things happen you have to adopt a new attitude and mindset. You have to be willing to be a Renegade. Sometimes you have to question the norm. Sometimes you just can’t ask for permission. You just have to do first and apologize after.

You have to be willing to go against the grain. And yes sometimes you have to be a Rebel.

I joke around but not really when I tell people that I am a Renegade Trainer. That’s because I am not like the regular trainers that you see at commercial gyms. I question their pushy sales tactics and training methods that sometimes are straight out stupid and down right dangerous and appear to have come from a magazine they just read that has its own agenda.

I don’t follow the so called “rules” that don’t make any sense to me. I have been in the game to long and invested my heart and soul to find the real methods and principles that work..

I mean who in the world made up the rule that you have to work out in a gym to get in shape, or that you have to wear Nike, Reebok or Addidas or any big brand name gear to get a great workout??? That is just conditioning that has been fed to people in order to make the almighty dollar. But it seems that hardly anyone ever questions why certain things are.

I’ve adopted a new way of thinking when it comes to success and having an unstoppable mindset.

“Its not about how long you live, its about how you live!”

“You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do”

“You Gotta Hustle”

“If You Really Want Something In Life, You Gotta Get Out There And Get It”

“Do It Like A CHAMP”

“Balls To The Wall”

“You Gotta Be A GO GETTER”

“You Either Gonna Do It Or Not”

“You’re Either In The Game Or On The Bench”

“Grow Some Balls”

“Sometimes You Gotta Say Fuck It And Just Do It”

“Are You Just Gonna Let Life Pass You Bye Or What?”

“There Is No Tomorrow Today”

“It’s Now Or Never”

“Your Either In Or Out”

“Are You Gonna Wake Up And Go After Your Dreams Or Stay In Bed?”

“You’re Either Gonna Play The Game Of Life Or Let It Play You”

“You’re Either Livin Or Dying”

“No Quitters Here, Just Go Getters”

“Are You Gonna Be A Winner Or A Loser?”

“No Matter How Many Times You Fall You Gotta Get Up And Keep Gettin Up”

“Are You Gonna Rise or Are You Just Gonna Fall?”

“You Either Get Better Or Get Worse”

“You Gotta Fight For Your Life”

“You Either Stand For Something Or Fall For Everything”

“He Who Has Nothing To Die For Is Not Fit To Live”

“You’re Either The Hunter Or The One Being Hunted”

“You’re Either The Driver, Or The One Gettin Ridden”

“Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway”

“I Can Handle It”

“I Can Handle Anything”

“Bring It On”

“I’d Rather Die On My Feet Then Live On My Knees”

“Today is the 1^st day of the rest of your life!”

“Live as though it’s the last day!”

“Where the mind goes the body will follow”

“A mind is like a parachute, it works best when its open!”

“If your mind can conceive it, you can achieve it”

“The truth shall set you free”

“Success is a journey, not a destination”

“If you continue to do what you have always done, then you’ll continue to get what you’ve always gotten.”

Now I know this may come as an odd statement, considering that I really enjoy and love helping people get in great shape.

I really get a high from helping people make improvements. But let me tell you… I’m not going to show up and start screaming and shoutin’ like Richard Simmons or act like Jillian Michaels and start hollering and making a scene telling you to “get up off your ass!”

If people don’t want to become better then they are and they’d rather sit around and eat donuts all day that’s their business. I’m not here to act a fool and “motivate” you if you can’t find it within yourself to realize that regular exercise and healthy eating is necessary if you want to live an optimal life and live to the fullest and look better naked. I don’t think that I should to waste my time telling you if that is not what you want. It would be a futile effort to do so and I’m not here for that.

My style just so happens to seem to motivate people although I am not really going for that. It just happens to be a by product of my style

You either want to do something or you don’t. I’m not in the business of motivating people. As I see it, its just not enough to keep a person going. They have to find their own strong reason why.

But what I will do is my very damn best to encourage and tell you what you need to hear in order to take you to the next level and guide you in the right direction if I see that you want something bad enough and you are taking action.

But if you are not internally motivated already by a very powerful reason and your reason “why” is not strong enough, then there is nothing I can do that will have a long lasting effect on your motivation and desire.

Often times people will tell me that I really need to push them. Correction. No, I don’t. You need to push yourself. I’m not being hired for my cheerleading skills. That should be internal.

If you come to me it is for my elite and super effective rapid results program design skills which are based on years of experience. I am not a cheerleader.

If you can’t find it within yourself and are not driven to excel, there is nothing I can do for you. How badly do you want it?

I have no time or patience for lazy and undriven people. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

I know this might offend some people. But it’s just a real fact. But maybe this will light a fire under your butt and make you think a bit about what you are doing currently in your life and maybe even “motivate” you to change your reality and get up and do something.

So Watcha Gonna Do

No, I don’t mean you should join America’s Next Top Model.

What I mean is that if you open your mind, and learn to  look around, you will find clues every where that you can  learn from in order to reach your goals.

Wouldn’t you like to know what the most successful people in the world do on a daily basis and how they think or what they did to get to where they are.

They must have done somethings right so why not study them and do some of the things they did that helped them get to where they are.

Here are some of those things that I would study and model.

1. I would find people that are living the life I want to live or doing what I want to do and I would model that person.

When I first started training I followed the muscle magazines that had their own agenda and were misleading (that is another post on its own) but then I found people in the gym that were strong and looked the part and I watched them and did what they did. And I started to get results I was looking for.

2. I would also study the behaviors and actions that got them to where they are.

Nowadays I read a lot about people that are successful and are doing what I want to do and I look for the behaviors and actions they took such as what they did on a regular and consistent basis to move them forward and got them closer to their goal.

3. I also study their mindset and their beliefs they had and how they used them to create a powerful unstoppable mindset. That has been my biggest key to success so far that I have taken and used to help me.

4. I also study the ways they handled adversity, criticism and failure.

By reading and learning about successful people, their actions, beliefs and behaviors I have learned that they also followed the advice of mentors, hired coaches, experts in the field they were interested in mastering and they sought out successful people themselves.

But they also talk about what to avoid and the mistakes they made early on in their lives such as seeking costly advice  and misinformation from friends, neighbors and other people that had no business giving out advice and that they themselves had no real experience or success in. 

So get expert advice and be willing to pay for it because if you count on your uncle or neighbor who mean well it just might cost you way more.  Not even free information is free. That makes great sense to me and I myself have been there and done that.

It’s much easier to achieve what you want when you’re following a proven model of success.

So remember, that success leaves clues.

Like a Champ,

Success Leaves Clues is a post from: GetInShape2.com

Your beautiful just the way you are.

But the minute you were born the media machine began
filling your mind with images and messages to condition
your mind to believe that you had to fit a certain body type or
look a certain way in order to be beautiful.

And then they began to sell you everything they could with the
false promise that it would transform you into that distorted
image that conditioned you to believe represented beauty.

But what they did was give you an image and  an  idea that was elusive
from the start and not naturally attainable.

So the vicious cycle repeats itself over and over with product

after product promising to get you closer to that so called ideal image or weight.

And I am here to tell you to raise your middle fingers up to those messages
and and the media that brings them to you and say “NO MORE”.

And say “YES” to YOUR ideal and best body. Everyone has their own best body.
And I believe that everyone can attain their best body.

I myself will never look like Taylor Lautner of Twilight, but he will never
look like me either. But we both can do our best to attain our own best bodies.

And so can you, if you really want to.

“Everyone has their own best body!”

Are You ready to Transform your your body into Your Best Body?

Beautiful Girls, All Over the World is a post from: GetInShape2.com

They also dont have the patience to stick with the
plan because they dont see the results the next day
and the goal just deceptivly appears to be way to far
in the future and they don’t think that they could wait
that long for it.

They also lose vision of their goal and that causes
them to lose motivation and inspiration.

When ever we are faced with these types of thoughts we

need to surround ourselves with

• images

• words

• books

• music

• people

• and thoughts of our desires and goals and

continuously feed that into our mind so that it stays
fresh and evolves into reality.

I see the comparison to that of a seed that has to be watered,
everyday and given sunlight everyday in order for it to
remember that its goal is to become a beautiful flower that will
share its beauty with the world and one day find itself in a garden
where it will be inspiration for another seed that one day could
have the opportunity to mature and become a beautiful flower.

Is This You??? is a post from: GetInShape2.com

But I recognized that voice. It was the voice of mediocrity. It was the voice
of deceptive comfort. It was the voice that if I listened to it would have
started the beginning of a bad habit. The habit of settling. Settling for being
average and being like the majority of people that are content with being average.

But I don’t want to be like everyone else. And neither do you.

Don’t become one of them.

• Choose to be part of the 5%ers that strive everyday to be better than they are today.

• Choose to be the best YOU that YOU can be.

You see, I still have dreams and goals. I have not yet began to live to my fullest potential.
I cannot stop now and let my body and mind deteriorate. I still need em’ both.

I’ve been there before in the past totally thankful for being able to participate in a skiing trip and having
the strength and fitness to have the stamina, and confidence to be great at it due to my training.

Not everyone gets to experience what it feels like to go down a hill at fast speeds and be able to control your body
to turn and hold itself up from the forces working against your body.

But I can’t wait for the next opportunity to be able to do that again.

If you are not ready then you should stop missing out and start getting ready.

And once you are ready, make it a habit of staying ready so that when an opportunity arises you to can take advantage
and be ready.

Now ask yourself this. Will you be ready when the warm weather of summer approaches? Will you have done the necessary training needed to have that beautiful bikini body?

I hope I inspired you to recognize and use that voice to do the opposite of what it tells you and instead go take
massive action.

Your Boy,
AlbeRto

I am hearing voices in my head, are YOU? is a post from: GetInShape2.com

Hey there, hope your doin’ great!

Do you want to know 5 secrets you can use to strengthen your desire? There are always things you can do to improve upon something or an idea.Here are some ways to fuel your desire, your motivation, your inspiration or whatever it is that lights a fire under you to move. And yes you need to feed your motivation and fuel a burning desire because just like a fiery blaze, it can go out without fuel.

Without further ado:

Here are 5 secrets to strengthen your desire

1) Make a conscious decision to change.

Nothing at all will ever happen or happens until you make a decision to just do it. You are reading these words because you made a decision to do so. The word decide comes from the Latin meaning to literally cut off from. Which means to cut away from all other options. The dictionary also defines it as: To make up one’s mind

2) Use a picture

The magazine industry knows this and that is why they use tons of pictures in their publications because they know the power that a picture has on your psych. Of course the pictures they use to influence you is a whole other topic.

But the point is that you can choose a picture of the ideal body you want in order to inspire you to move toward that direction.

Why do you think so many posters of Beyonce have been sold other then for her popularity and singing ability?

3)Find a Reason

A very good reason will inspire you especially when you feel like stopping or giving up or when you just plain don’t feel like taking action out of laziness. There is a huge difference between simply wanting something and having to have it. What do you think would be a good reason to get healthy and in shape?

4) Focus and envision the future You want for yourself

“If your mind can conceive it, you can achieve it”. Practice imagining and do what kids are so good at, which is taking time to play “make believe”. Take some time before you go to sleep to imagine what it would be like to be in shape and have your perfect body that you want. If you do it often and consistently the images will become more clear and real and combined with the other steps help to make it reality.

5) Take Action

NO matter how how many times you read the book “The Secret” nothing will happen until you take the necessary action steps needed to get you to where you want to be. In order to get to school, work, or the grocery store,or the gym for that matter you still had to take action and take the necessary steps needed for you to get there.

These words did not appear magically on the screen. I had to move my fingers across the keyboard in a certain way to make them appear.

So there you have it. Leave a comment and tell me what you think about these steps and how you will incorporate them into your life. And let me know what your biggest challenges are.

And remember, “The greatest risk is not taking one”-my fortune cookie. Until next time.

5 SECRETS To Fuel Your Desire is a post from: GetInShape2.com

Hey there, hope your doin’ awesome! Before I get to the most important question, let me say this first. There is no such thing as “try”. Think about it for a second. When I think of the word “try” it makes me think of weakness and uncertainty. Every time I find myself using the word “try” I immediately change my word to “I will’” or I will do it”.

The difference is that one is stronger and more powerful then the other. Try means “I will give it a chance but if it doesn’t work then oh well”. And you know what else, it lacks full engaged commitment and is weak and is very lacking.

When you decide to just do it, you empower yourself and burn the bridge that keeps you tied to the dock. By the way those are the only bridges you should ever burn, the ones that keep you tied down and keep you from growing and going. So back to the most important question.

Have you made a conscious decision to change?

When you make a conscious decision to change, your mind and body awaken and you develop deep strong rooted feelings to make it happen and you start searching for a way to make it happen.

That feeling or feelings begin to transform into what the famous renowned author Napolean Hill describes as the most important factor needed for the attainment of success which is a deep burning desire.

And the truth is that we all have desire. The trick is to let the deep burning desire propel you toward the goals you want to achieve in your quest for a better body and better life.

It is what will also give you the strength to not let people or circumstances hold you down and keep you from getting the life you want.

Here is something to think about and memorize: “ If you decide to continue doing what you’ve always done, you’ll continue getting what you’ve always gotten”.

So MAKE A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO CHANGE!

In the next post I will give you some SECRETS into how to nurture and strengthen your Desire.

Here is what I want you to do next. Leave a comment below in the comment section and tell me what whether You have made a conscious decision to change yet or tell me what is holding you back if you have not yet made the decision.

Until then, make sure you do one thing everyday to move toward the attainment of your goals.

The Most Important QUESTION is a post from: GetInShape2.com

So in the last post I asked you to go through an exercise to help you find your reason why you want to get in shape. So lets look into that and find out how having a reason can make you or break you and how to make sure it is a good one.

Think about and imagine what will happen to you if you do not get control of you body and life. Having a good reason is what will fuel your desire and help inspire you to get started and to follow through.

• Are your parents a good enough reason for you?
• How about your kids. Are they a great reason to get healthy and fit?
• What about your siblings?
• Do your best friends matter to you?
• I think YOU are a great reason. I mean how many people are going to benefit from you taking good  care of You?
• Ultimately, your life will change for the better and so will your life experience as opportunities begin to open up for you.

I also have more reasons in my downloadable FREE Book  “The Bikini Body Blueprint” and Audio MP3 gift to you if you have not read or listened to it yet.

What Is Your REASON? is a post from: GetInShape2.com

There is a quote that I tell people and that I tell myself also in order to get me going. It goes like this: “FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD”. In other words you can hope all you want to, but until you start moving in the direction of your hope, it won’t happen.

The point I am trying to make is that if you really want something to change in your life, then you have to start taking ACTION. But you also have to take action in the right direction to get the results you seek.

There is another Buddhist proverb that reads: “WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY THE TEACHER WILL APPEAR”. What that means to me is that your life will change when you are ready and willing to change. For some people it happens when “they are sick and tired of being sick and tired”. For others, it is a constant yearning inside of them for self-improvement and avoiding having to just settle. These people create their own circumstances.

If there is one thing I know with all certainty, it is that I know how to get people in phenomenal shape. And I know that because it took me years to learn it and practice it not only on myself but on the countless people that I have coached. It one day hit me that getting in shape is a science, and making it fun is an art. And when you marry the two it creates a synergy that to a point can make gettin’ in shape and fit almost become an obsession.

Now here is where I come in to be the hero and save the day, or your life. I want to help you gain control of your body so that you can gain control of your life. And in the following days and weeks and months, I am going to continue to give you the tools and strategies that will give you the power to take action. These are the same tools and strategies that I have learned throughout my life and education that have helped many others attain their dreams and goals of losing weight, and getting lean.

I am not sure at what point you are exactly in your life and on your journey to get in shape. So to better help   you, I am asking you these questions to find out how I can serve you better in order to give you the tools you  need:

• HOW CAN I HELP YOU?
• WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE ON THE BLOG
• And finally, this is not a question  BUT I want you to SEND ME YOUR QUESTIONS

Just go to the CONTACT tab on the navigation bar and leave me your thoughts, concerns and most pressing questions that you would like answered.

And finally I have an exercise to get you to think a bit.

Since this is about taking action, this is what I want you to do right now.  I want you to take out a sheet of paper and pen and for the next 3 to 5 minutes I want you to write down your reasons for wanting to get in shape.

• Start writing down WHY You want to get in shape
• Ask yourself: What are YOUR reasons?
• Just start writing everything that comes to mind and don’t worry about how it sounds
• Don’t stop writing until the 5 minutes are up
• Write down what you would do if you had the body you wanted
• Just do it

Ok, in the next post, we will get back to why I had you go through this exercise. So to make sure you don’t miss out on a post make sure that you op-in so that I can send you a reminder when I have it up. You can do so here now if you have not done so yet. I’ll be sharing all my best fitness, body shaping, transformation tips, advice and step-by-step strategies, tactics and systems with you – for FREE – So stay tuned!

Welcome To the MOVEMENT is a post from: GetInShape2.com

Hey there, hope your doin’ great!

One of the most important tools you can take advantage of in order to help you succeed in any endeavor is the one of goal setting. When I was in High School I somehow got away with not knowing how to type.

I intended to go through college the same way because for some odd reason, I thought that my fingers were not meant to move the way everyone else’s did. I was embarrassed that I could not learn as fast as the rest of the students so I would pretend that I knew and somehow got away with it and did not learn.

But that changed right away when I discovered my passion for entrepreneurship.  I realized that I would have to learn this skill in order to write proposals and write books and newsletters and that typing one key at a time was not going to do it.

So I set a goal to learn how to type the right way and in less than a month I was doing 45 words per minute and I was ecstatic at my accomplishment and realization that if i set my mind to something and made it a goal that I could do it.

Now there are many people that put off setting goals because for one they don’t really understand how to and need some guidance in setting it and because some people are a bit lazy and they think they can just wing it.

I myself used to be one of them and disliked doing it for both reasons above and most of all because I thought it was silly to have to jot something I knew I wanted to do down on a piece of paper. But thanks to that special day and out of frustration and my new passion, I decided to give goal setting a shot. After all, so many successful people were preaching the same thing.

What I did was follow the exact steps thought to me but with the understanding that I could make adjustments and refine it until it became a S.M.A.R.T. goal.

• Specific

I set a specific goal to learn how to type.

• Measurable

I made it measurable by figuring out that if I wanted to write 35 words per minute by the end of 30 days that I would have to be able to write about 9 words the 1st week and 18 words the 2nd week and 35 words by the 4th week.

• Achievable I knew that if I practiced, although challenging to me, that I could achieve the 35 words per minute in 30 days. I knew it would be a challenge and since I enjoy challenges I challenged myself.

• Realistic or Relevant I asked myself if the goal I was setting myself was realistic for me and relevant to what I wanted it for. And I concluded that typing would be a requirement if I wanted to be a professional and that it was a realistic and ideal goal for what I wanted to do and that in the end learning this new skill could help me in other ways. 

• Timely I set a date for when I wanted to reach my goal which propelled me to not  waste time and procrastinate. Without setting a specific date I would have probably kept pushing the idea of learning how to type 35 words per second until the till I made up my mind or until I no longer had that burning desire for it.

Thanks to that decision and commitment to make it a goal, I am able to write these words and help you to reach your goals.

Now comes the kicker here. In order to make help make this goal a burning desire you should make it a must, to read it every day in the morning and right before you go to bed and even throughout the day in order to remind you and drive you think about it so that you move toward it.

And also imagine yourself vividly reaching your goal and how it would feel. Make it real in your mind and you can make it real in your life.

Until next time, take action and go think about a goal you want to accomplish and write it down using the formula above.
