The other day as I was wrapping up my day and getting ready to
head out the door, I had a walk-in ask if she could borrow a few minutes of my
time. Now, although I am a fitness business owner, my time is meticulously
calculated days in advance and I pride myself on being on time, especially when
it comes to spending time with my kids. But since I was a few minutes ahead of
schedule, I smiled and politely told her I would actually give it to her for
free. No, not training or consulting, silly… Some time. Sheesh, what do you take
me for, huh?
Anyway, she immediately kicked into telling me she had done hcg,
that it didn’t work, invested into a “substitute a cheeseburger for a protein
shake because they have the same points” program, it didn’t work and also was
walking 45 minutes a day and that didn’t work either. Hmmm…??? I’m mystified,
these crappy, one-size-fits-all programs don’t work??? Really, now…
