Collaboration and teamwork enhance my abilities and effectiveness, allowing us to achieve more collectively than we could alone. Unity & Strength are important outside of the gym too.
FITLETE Professional Update
The Resource Nexus
— Welcome to Q2!! What do you have in store for these next few months? I know my to-do list never ends, but here is what I will be working on moving forward.
Finalizing the business management portal.
Something that’s been unfortunately more difficult than I initially anticipated, but I'm still excited to continue working on.
Updating, adding more events, and online courses.
These are never-ending, and I’m working on ways to make operating as a “solo worker” more efficient.
Finish season 1 of the Trainers Spotlight Podcast Series.
I will examine this season and contribute some answers to a synopsis because I see value in highlighting similarities between professionals from different backgrounds and working in the same industry from different perspectives.
Doing a lot more outreach and marketing, aka Sales?
Everyone has areas where they need to improve; mine is a billion percent sales in this project. Sales and marketing as a trainer are locked in, but on this side, I have to express the same confidence.
