  • Start A Gym: Everything You Need to Start and Scale a Fitness Business

    01

    This is the best time to start a business.

    And the best business to start is a gym.

    The industrial economy is mostly over. There are no more 9-to-5, punch-a-clock-then-retire jobs left. You can’t depend on a college degree to guarantee a career anymore.

    Here’s the great news: the new economy is a blank slate. You have the opportunity to create any career you want for yourself. For the first time ever, new entrepreneurs have an unlimited audience for any product or service they can dream up. For the first time in history, you have the opportunity to use your passion to help others, even if you don’t know them yet.

    The world is open to entrepreneurs who can create value for their audience. And the greatest value we can deliver is the gift of longevity, vitality and self-reliance: the gift of health.

    What produces health? Fitness and nutrition. How are fitness and nutrition best delivered? Through coaching.

    I’ve been a gym owner since 2005.

    I opened a gym because my family was starving on my Personal Trainers’ salary. But no one told me how to do it well. So while I survived, it took me nearly a decade of stress and pain just to fix the mistakes that I made in the first week of business ownership.

    The decisions you make at startup–or even before–will affect the rest of your life. Your business can be the engine that feeds your family, pays for vacations, and changes the lives of hundreds of people in your city. Or it can be the thing that ruins your life. The decisions you make NOW will echo for decades.

    Every mistake you make at startup will take a year to fix.

    I made mistakes on my model; my pricing; my staffing; my ideal clientele; my location; AND my equipment. It took me six years to fix all of these problems–six years that I could have spent making more money, spending more time with my kids and worrying a LOT less.

    Now that my gyms are successful, my mission is to make 1 million fitness businesses successful so that we can change the world’s health together. I do that through mentorship and books like this one. We work with thousands of gym owners around the world, and the lessons in this book have each been proven thousands of times. I’ll also share some of our private data for the first time!

    Say goodbye to the soul-sucking 9-5 grind… and say hello to being your own boss for the rest of your life.

    Are you done with taking orders from someone who’s less competent than you?

    Feel like you’re wasting your life away making somebody else rich?

    Hate the thought of having your livelihood taken away from you at any moment?

    Nobody likes being told what to do. Especially not by superiors who don’t know that much more than you.

    But in spite of the frustration of working under someone who does none of the work yet takes all of the credit… in spite of the countless hours spent waiting for 5 pm to roll around…

    You continue to shackle yourself to your job.

    Instead of leaving behind your 40-hour work weeks… you’re stuck trading your time and freedom away for a fraction of what you’re worth… doing a mind-numbing job for a company you don’t really care about.

    Until one day, the same company decides your role is “redundant.”

    And all of a sudden, you’re left without an income. No job. No lifeline.

    Now, this is where most people would fall back into the rat race.

    But chances are, you’re not most people.

    Because if you’re reading this now, you’ve probably been dying for a reason to strike out on your own. To build out that side hustle that you’ve been too busy to grow. To turn that business idea you’ve been dreaming about into a full-time money-making reality.

    The good news is you don’t have to wait for the “right time” to get started. And if you play your cards right… you can be the one who decides when you’re ready to finally escape the 9-5 life once and for all.

    In this book, you will discover:

    And much more!

    Forget all the people who’ve told you to be “realistic” with your life. All those so-called friends who’ve always underestimated what you know you’re truly capable of. All the spectators on the sidelines who are just itching to tell you “I told you so.” You don’t need them.

    What you do need is a companion that will be there for you every step of the way along your entrepreneurial journey, no matter how rocky things get… A guide that will show you how to build a profitable online business completely from scratch.

    Every game begins with a good starting line.

    Ethan

    I’ve been secretly married for eight years. Why is it a secret? Because having an open marriage splashed all over headlines isn’t a good look. We’d constantly be under the spotlight; our lives and relationships judged. That’s not the kind of hockey player I want to be known for. Especially because we play for different teams.

    Although most of my relationships outside of my marriage are passing, I’ve been pining over my best friend and teammate for years. YEARS! Just as I decide that maybe it’s time to see where this leads, management throws an unexpected play in our faces.

    It might be over before it begins and I’m not sure what to do about it.

    Creed

    Since the day I was swapped to Buffalo, I’ve been in love with Ethan Wilder. He’s an intense player, breaking records every year. But he’s also fun, sweet, thoughtful, and gorgeous. He’s everyone’s perfect dream.

    When he tells me he wants to be more than friends, I almost jump him right there in the locker room. Things between us heat up quickly and I’ve never been happier. Everything is perfect.

    Except our starting line. We’ve been through four right wingmen in the last three seasons but no matter who management brings on board, they just don’t gel with me and Ethan. Now they’ve thrown us a trick play that I’m not sure we’re going to be able to work around – on the ice or off.

    It’s not just the starting line we need to worry about. In fact, this complication could put the entire team – and our new relationship – on ice.

Having given up on finding true love—if that even exists, which she doubts—she’s content to put romance on the back burner. But not everyone agrees. Those nearest and dearest are ready to see Vanessa let down her long blonde hair and have some fun.

    To put their grumbling to rest, Vanessa agrees to go on a date with the next man who asks. Luckily for her, that man is Cameron Thomas, her daughter’s extremely handsome science teacher. She’d felt a spark of chemistry the first time she’d laid eyes on him. Now she’s ready to lay a whole lot more on the sexy bachelor.

    But just as things get hot, they also get heavy. When the man who broke Vanessa’s heart reappears, her old doubts and fears about love rush to the surface. Will her fresh start with Cameron be over before it’s barely begun?

  • State of the Arts: An Ethnography of German Theatre and Migration (Theatre and Performance Theory)

    01
    This is a bold and wide-ranging account of the unique German public theatre system through the prism of a migrant artistic institution in the western post-industrial Ruhr region. State of the Arts analyses how artistic traditions have responded to social change, racism, and cosmopolitan anxieties and recounts how critical contemporary cultural production positions itself in relation to the tumultuous history of German state patronage, difficult heritage, and self-cultivation through the arts. Jonas Tinius’ fieldwork with professional actors, directors, cultural policy makers, and activists unravels how they constitute theatre as a site for extra-ordinary ethical conduct and how they grapple with the pervasive German cultural tradition of Bildung, or self-cultivation through the arts. Tinius shows how anthropological methods provide a way to understand the entanglement of cultural policy, institution-building, and subject-formation. An ambitious and interdisciplinary study, the work demonstrates the crucial role of artistic intellectuals in society.

  • Statistical Consequences of Fat Tails: Real World Preasymptotics, Epistemology, and Applications (Revised Edition) (Technical Incerto)

    06
    The monograph investigates the misapplication of conventional statistical techniques to fat tailed distributions and looks for remedies, when possible.
    Switching from thin tailed to fat tailed distributions requires more than “changing the color of the dress”. Traditional asymptotics deal mainly with either n=1 or n=∞, and the real world is in between, under of the “laws of the medium numbers” –which vary widely across specific distributions. Both the law of large numbers and the generalized central limit mechanisms operate in highly idiosyncratic ways outside the standard Gaussian or Levy-Stable basins of convergence.
    A few examples:
    + The sample mean is rarely in line with the population mean, with effect on “naive empiricism”, but can be sometimes be estimated via parametric methods.
    + The “empirical distribution” is rarely empirical.
    + Parameter uncertainty has compounding effects on statistical metrics.
    + Dimension reduction (principal components) fails.
    + Inequality estimators (GINI or quantile contributions) are not additive and produce wrong results.
    + Many “biases” found in psychology become entirely rational under more sophisticated probability distributions
    + Most of the failures of financial economics, econometrics, and behavioral economics can be attributed to using the wrong distributions.
    This book, the first volume of the Technical Incerto, weaves a narrative around published journal articles.

    Nothing is original, so embrace influence, school yourself through the work of others, remix and reimagine to discover your own path. Follow interests wherever they take you-what feels like a hobby may turn into you life’s work. Forget the old cliché about writing what you know: Instead, write the book you want to read, make the movie you want to watch. And finally, stay Smart, stay out of debt, and risk being boring in the everyday world so that you have the space to be wild and daring in your imagination and your work.

    “Brilliant and real and true.”-Rosanne Cash

    08

    ‘Absorbing and brilliant… this book is an absolute must-read not only for the general public but for foster carers and social workers alike’ Sarah Anderson, Independent Foster Carers Alliance

    ‘Stella is just like a tiny bird. This is my first impression of her. A quiet little sparrow of a girl.’

    In her brand new series ‘Thrown Away Children’, Louise Allen shares the harrowing stories she is exposed to as a foster mother. The first in the series, Stella’s Story, tells the astonishing true story of a young girl scarred by an abusive past.

    Named after the lager that christened her at birth, Stella’s life is characterised instability and neglect. Her teenage mother abandons her in the first few weeks of her life, and left in the ‘care’ of her father, she ends up lying deserted in a house with no food, no water, no clothes, and no warmth.

    She eventually lands in the care of foster carer Louise, who is determined to change her life for the better. Things seem to be going well – but when Stella has a startling response to having her photo taken, it becomes clear the scars of her abuse run deeper than anyone could have ever guessed.

    Stephen King Collection 4 Books Set:

    Pet Sematary:
    The house looked right, felt right to Dr Louis Creed.Rambling, old, unsmart and comfortable. A place where the family could settle; the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago. Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway, grinding up through the gears, hammering down the long gradients, growled out an intrusive threat.

    The Shining:
    Danny is only five years old, but in the words of old Mr Hallorann he is a ‘shiner’, aglow with psychic voltage. When his father becomes caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, Danny’s visions grow out of control.As winter closes in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seems to develop a life of its own.

    It:
    Soon to be a major motion picture – Stephen King’s terrifying classic. ‘They float…and when you’re down here with me, you’ll float, too.’To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry Maine was just their home town: familiar, well-ordered for the most part. A good place to live.It is the children who see – and feel – what makes the small town of Derry so horribly different.

    Doctor Sleep:
    Following a childhood haunted by terrifying events at the Overlook Hotel, Dan Torrance has been drifting for decades. Finally, he settles into a job at a nursing home where he draws on his remnant ‘shining’ power to provide crucial comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes ‘Doctor Sleep’.

  • Stick and Rudder: An Explanation of the Art of Flying:

    08

    Publisher’s Note: Products purchased from Third Party sellers are not guaranteed by the publisher for quality,       authenticity, or access to any online entitlements included with the product.

    WHAT’S IN STICK AND RUDDER:

    • The invisible secret of all heavier-than-air flight: the Angle of Attack. What it is, and why it can’t be seen. How lift is made, and what the pilot has to do with it.
    • Why airplanes stall How do you know you’re about to stall?
    • The landing approach. How the pilot’s eye functions in judging the approach.
    • The visual clues by which an experienced pilot unconsciously judges: how you can quickly learn to use them.
    • “The Spot that does not move.” This is the first statement of this phenomenon. A foolproof method of making a landing approach across pole lines and trees.
    • The elevator and the throttle. One controls the speed, the other controls climb and descent. Which is which?
    • The paradox of the glide. By pointing the nose down less steeply, you descend more steeply. By pointing the nose down more steeply, you can glide further.
    • What’s the rudder for? The rudder does NOT turn the airplane the way a boat’s rudder turns the boat. Then what does it do?
    • How a turn is flown. The role of ailerons, rudder, and elevator in making a turn.
    • The landing–how it’s made. The visual clues that tell you where the ground is.
    • The “tail-dragger” landing gear and what’s tricky about it. This is probably the only analysis of tail-draggers now available to those who want to fly one.
    • The tricycle landing gear and what’s so good about it. A strong advocacy of the tricycle gear written at a time when almost all civil airplanes were taildraggers.
    • Why the airplane doesn’t feel the wind.
    • Why the airplane usually flies a little sidewise.
    • Plus: a chapter on Air Accidents by Leighton Collins, founder and editor of AIR FACTS. His analyses of aviation’s safety problems have deeply influenced pilots and aeronautical engineers and have contributed to the benign characteristics of today’s airplane.

    Stick and Rudder is the first exact analysis of the art of flying ever attempted. It has been continously in print for thirty-three years. It shows precisely what the pilot does when he flies, just how he does it, and why.

    Because the basics are largely unchanging, the book therefore is applicable to large airplanes and small, old airplanes and new, and is of interest not only to the learner but also to the accomplished pilot and to the instructor himself.

    When Stick and Rudder first came out, some of its contents were considered highly controversial. In recent years its formulations have become widely accepted. Pilots and flight instructors have found that the book works.

    Today several excellent manuals offer the pilot accurate and valuable technical information. But Stick and Rudder remains the leading think-book on the art of flying. One thorough reading of it is the equivalent of many hours of practice.
