A Message for Friends

Written by John Allen Mollenhauer "JAM" on March 20, 2008 – 12:39 pm

One of the many reasons why I am launching www.MyTrainer.com, besides the fact that I have been envisioning something like this since I was 19 (that’s 20 years), is that I’ve wanted to have a more social, conversational relationship with my subscribers and clients whom I would rather call friends!

The new internet, becoming known as Web 2.0, is now making that possible.

It has been my commitment in 2008 to use email very sparingly, as I can’t stand getting email everyday with a sales pitch, shrouded in albeit usually helpful information, from the myriad of lists that I’m on. It makes me a little crazy.

I venture to say you might feel the same, It’s why last year, after my last Performance Lifestyle training, I virtually stopped sending email (at a cost) and focused on upgrading the way I do business to the social media way.

I would rather us network as friends as part of a community than have to constantly send email. I was only sending email because it was the best way I could reach out, but times are changing.

Starting next week or the following, I will have my profile at www.MyTrainer.com so we can connect on a more regular and natural basis with the help of video and social media technology.

In the meantime, you can reach me now on Facebook. http://profile.to/johnallen/

Ironically, as I make this transition fully, I will be sending more email than usual in the coming couple weeks. So heads up.  At least you know why.

There are many other reasons for MyTrainer.com, not the least of which is that I want to enable anyone, anywhere to have a trainer in their life - A fitness, health or wellness professional who can inspire, educucate and support their success, regardless of time, money or insecurity.

I have had always had trainers and coaches in my life of various types and at various times and it has been invaluable. You don’t know what you don’t know and no body succeeds without at least little help from their friends.

Plus, today knowing how to achieve your goals with your fitness, health and well being in tact, is the competitive edge healthy successful people understand. Besides better quality of life, everything you do, depends on your ability to perform well.

At MyTrainer.com, you’ll be able to connect with those who you can learn from, in a real, personally empowered way and support them in return.

By the way, If you haven’t gotten your beta invite yet, join the community at www.MyTrainer.com. Go ahead and do so, there is no cost.

Also, this coming week, I’m doing an interview with Patricia Keating of Intentions Coaching. She works with those people I connect with best, entrepreneurs and other achiever types faced
with relentless demand on their time and energy who aim to achieve their goals in life, business, even sport with their fitness, health and wellbeing in tact.

So if you want to learn more about the secrets of Healthy High Achievers, those people who look, feel and perform better than the rest, join in on the upcoming TelEvent with Patricia and I on March 26th, 3:00 PM Eastern.

http://www.intentionscoaching.com/Expert08.htm

Again, there is no cost and you will be invited at the end to join me at MyTrainer.com, that’s it.  

If you can’t make the time, register anyway and Patricia will send you a recording of the call!

http://www.intentionscoaching.com/Expert08.htm

I have much coming your way in 2008, and in a non intrusive way. Living a lifestyle that works for you and me, the achievement of our goals and the world around us, is something that I uphold with high standards.

Free Workout Video’s for Every Body… MyTrainer.com

Written by John Allen Mollenhauer "JAM" on March 6, 2008 – 4:50 pm

Hi all,

In today’s relentlessly busy world it’s essential to have ongoing inspiration, education and support so we can thrive… without which, we can get caught up in some pretty destructive patterns where everywhere we turn, someone’s marketing the cause of another problem we’re trying to solve.

That’s about to change…

I going to send an email to the PL community later today. We just re-launched one of the most powerful Performance Lifestyle solutions… MyTrainer.com. It’s not live for full access yet, as the velvet rope is still up, but for those people who want to participate in the beta invite, the time is now.

What I’m so excited about is that the boundaries are down, the stops are being pulled and the trainer access is being given to every body. No longer are workout video’s just choreographed follow-along sessions that you do for about two weeks before they collect dust along with the old movie video’s you’ve stored up; they are now real, live, you-can-do-it-now examples of what can be done in the context of your real world, with real people, in real life situations! And they are free.

A workout video not something you are forced to buy anymore (although you may want to) and put in your DVD player, you can watch them on your computer, on your iphone, your PDA< discuss them, learn from them, share with friends and put them into action.

Matter of fact you’re soon going to have acccess to the largest library of exactly what you want and need fitness workout video’s, when you want them and when you need them, and have the ability to connect with the person(s) who created them, which is pretty cool.

No longer is anyone going to be able to hide behind the bodybuilding picture of 3 years ago, or the MS fitness picture of 5 years ago to posture as the expert. Trainers are going to show up in the real place they’re at in their lives and share their experience.

You’re going to seem them in the real life flow of their lives and this is important, because you’re about to realize that trainers and fitness experts are people too, not products. They have ups and down like everyone else. They gain weight (weight fluctuates in general anyway) they get stressed, they deal with overwhelm, they have their own diet, weight and health issues, they get caught up, out of sync and more…

This is liberating! For you and them… trust me.

A great trainer is in a committed relationship with their clients, real, authentic and more… and with MyTrainer you’re going to build some great relationships with trainers and other members who are on the same path as you. Get your beta invite at MyTrainer.com and enjoy!  

I’ve been envisioning this for a long time, since I was a one-to-one fitness trainer years ago, and realized how much more powerful the trainer/client relationship could be, when it’s "not an exercise in co-dependence". The technology to do it was never there, but it is today and I’m thrilled! I hope you are too.

Starting this month, when you join the beta invite, you’ll have access to "my trainer" online, in your local area, or at the gym where you workout today. It’s going to have an incrediblely positive impact on you, your life, and your success.

Just wait till you experience the incredible knowledge coming your way.  

You’ll learn more about MyTrainer over the next couple weeks… so get your beta Invite today.

Talk soon,

Get Your Own Trainer In 2008… MyTrainer.com

Written by John Allen Mollenhauer "JAM" on December 14, 2007 – 3:56 pm

Hi jam,

(See the video below)

My mother was right. As you get older time moves faster. But in the "Age of Achievement" we live in, time moves allot faster.

Why?

Because of your level of engagement. The more engaged you are the faster time moves.

The upside of being fully engaged is you can achieve allot more in your life. The downside is, if you don’t have a lifestyle that works for YOU and the achievement of your goals, you’ll trade your health for success and that doesn’t give you the "quality" life time you want.

It’s no fun to live overwhelmed, exhausted or overweight. 

It’s for that reason that I’m all about helping people achieve their goals (myself included) with their health and wellbeing in tact…

Five years ago, when I started Performance Lifestyle Solutions to bridge the gap between health and success and enable people to thrive, the first solution I created, was MyTrainer.com.

I had a big vision for MyTrainer.com, that everybody, regardless of time, money, or level of confidence would have a trainer of their own, who would inspire, educate and support their success. But the technology just wasn’t there to create the kind of thriving community, I envisioned.

Until now…

You may remember a few weeks ago I sent you an email about the Attention Age Doctrine written by my business mentor Rich Schefren, and how WEB 2.0 was fundamentally changing how we do business, interact and engage using the Internet.

If you missed it, here’s the link.

Well, Web 2.0 has finally arrived and it has changed how we operate here at Performance Lifestyle Solutions.

It’s all about community.

I could not be happier to be part of the Performance Lifestyle "community" that goes online in 2008. It starts with MyTrainer.com, the way for every person to have a trainer of their own, of their choosing.

It’s going to be unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. For starters, all the workout videos online are F.ree!

I never thought that would happen, and neither did my partner Eddie Enriquez.

Here’s what he had to say…

All in good fun ;-).

By the way, if you "dig" this video, will you DIGG it?

DIGG is a social networking site where the news stories that people dig become more popular and others find out about them…

I am excited about the new ways to help you engage in a lifestyle that promotes your health and success, starting this January with MyTrainer.com, the first of the Performance Lifestyle Solutions coming your way in 08.

Enjoy the video…
;-)

All my best
JAM
