4 Business Conference Takeaways That Apply to Nutrition, Fitness & Life

This past week, I had the pleasure of attending a business and coaching conference in Seattle. I was in a room with some of the most prominent minds and brands in the fitness and nutrition space. 

Here are my four takeaways that apply to YOU:

1. Planning

If there is no plan, there is no direction. 
If there is no direction, there is no action.
If there is no action, there are no results.

If you go to the gym and do random workouts (i.e., without a plan), you won’t get good results in the long term. Sure, if you’re new to fitness, you will see some progress just starting, but that soon fades, and you NEED a plan (i.e., progressive overload) to keep the results rolling. 

With nutrition, the difference between taking an hour or two to plan and prepare the right foods for your week will get you way closer to your desired results than eating spontaneously through the day with your fingers crossed that you hit your protein goal.

It’s the same with business. If I don’t have a plan for providing value and education, I probably won’t get clients signing up for our programs.

2. Implement and Take Action

Okay, so you have the plan. Great! Now you have to do the thing. 

I’ve talked with many people who have spent time program-hopping and trying different diets. The list is long for some. Sometimes, it comes down to not finding the right fit, and other times, they didn’t DO the plan and always hoped that just signing up for the next one would get the results. 

You can have the best workout program, meal plan, or marketing plan, but who cares if you don’t implement it? 

3. Consistency

Plan ✅
Action ✅
And then it comes down to being consistent. It is always going to take you longer than you think it will. 

Out of the few hundred clients we have worked with, the ones who get results (AND KEEP THEIR RESULTS) are the ones who are consistent. When people aren’t consistent, there likely isn’t trust in the coach or the program. They don’t believe in the value or that they can achieve the desired results. That’s where good coaching comes into play. 

I value coaching a lot. 

I have a nutrition coach, a running coach and a business coach.
It has taken me a while to find the perfect fit for each of these roles, but since I have… well, my life has 🚀 in every area.

4. KPIs – key performance indicators

You might have heard this term at work before. KPIs are targets you need to hit that guide future decisions.

With exercise and nutrition is valuable to have KPIs behind what you are doing. These are the wins along the way to track performance. Maybe it’s hitting a certain number on your deadlift, tracking your food, or dropping a size in your pants. KPIs tie into your plan. They help you identify if your plan is working, if you need to tweak something, or validate if you’re on the right track.

Many coaches say, “What gets tracked gets changed.” I like to say, “What gets tracked gets evaluated.”

There you have it:

✅ Have a plan
✅ Implement and take action
✅ Be consistent
✅ Evaluate 

And… you can’t do number four unless you have done number 1, 2 and 3.

Apply this to your training, nutrition, business and life 💛
