What’s the idea behind the book?

Ben Greenfield wrote “Personal Trainers’ Guide To Earning Top Dollar” after realizing that an enormous number of personal trainers, nutritional consultants, and lifestyle coaches think of their jobs as a “9-5” hourly salary routine of meeting with individual or small group clients. In reality, the health or fitness professional has a dynamic opportunity to leverage knowledge and expert status for an enormous salary with multiple automated income streams. This book literally teaches you how to command a very high wage for your client services while ensuring that cash flow is limitless, even while you’re sleeping!

Is this book good for “beginner” personal trainers?

Especially because many trainers think of their jobs as a “moon-lighting” venture to supplement another higher-paying job, or as a stepping stone to a “real” career, this book is perfect for approaching your new career with the correct mental frameset and money-making knowledge. In reality, personal trainers and nutrition or fitness professionals can actually command a salary as high as physicians, lawyers, and CEO’s, and actually work less. The key is information leverage, unique time management techniques and niche marketing. You’ll learn each of these concepts in “Personal Trainers’ Guide To Earning Top Dollar”.
