Re: Girls!!!!

[Guest guest]

....little miffed about the "girls" subject line, but I'll forgive.

It starts with one satisified client, then she tells another, and so on..

Go for it!!

Girls!!!!

I am shitting myself right now.......... You know how Carolyn put the bug in my ear about becoming a personal trainer, so that I could train out of my own gym.. Well, nobody knows that other than Jimmy and maybe my family that I have been thinking about it. And I haven't thought too much more about it, the thought ran across my head, but I haven't thought again about it. You know me, I'm a chicken-butt and don't take many chances... Anyway, I got a phone call from a girl today who I have only met one time last summer, and she said she wants to hire me to be her personal trainer. WOW. I am sooo nervous and so excited, I don't know what to think. I am so nervous and have butterflies in my stomache. MAYBE JUST MAYBE this is the slap in my face that I've been waiting for in regards to my job at school - GOODBYE!!! Personal trainer, here I come........ LOL.............. Seriously though guys, what do you think? Do you think it would be a go? You could train at the privacy of someone else's house one-on-one w/out worrying about someone else watching you.... Would I get clients? Would it work??? Remember I live in a very very small community........... All feedback welcome!! Darcy who is beside herself at this possibiility right now.......

Apologies to you AND ! I'm so sorry. I also sent about the same message to one other group I'm on. And they are all women So a lame excuse, but I hope it makes you feel a bit better. I'm sorry, really..... I value your opinions just as much! Thank you!

No need to apologize, Darcy. What's wrong with the subject line

anyway? Oh, yeah, I forgot. This is the dumbed-down 21st century

where the word " girls " is somehow bad. And even if you buy that 90's

crock of you-know-what, there should be no problem with ladies using

the word " girl " to refer to each other the same way black people

(Oops, was I supposed to say " African American even if their ancestors

weren't from Africa and they don't live in America " people?) call

themselves the N-word. :-)

Anyway, Darcy, this sounds so exciting. Please keep us posted! I

hope the personal training works out for you! Judging by your pics,

I'd say you'll make a great role model. (Yes, that was a comment on

Darcy's great looks by --the token white male sexist pig.) :-)

Hi Darcy, I think you should GO FOR IT! What do

you have to lose? You can do it part-time now to

begin and then see how things work out if nothing else

you will have a GREAT second job!

Let me tell you something about myself. My main

job is interpreting for Deaf students in college but I

also tutor students learning sign language or

business/computer classes in college. I got my

tutoring job the same way you were offered a job as a

personal trainer for that lady, someone asked you.

I used to be a chicken-you-know-what (I'm much

less chicken now) and one day I took a chance and I

ended up getting a job that I truly LOVE. At the

university where I got my degrees from the director of

the tutoring center asked me if I would be interested

in tutoring students in computers because she noticed

that I got an " A " in the class. I was thinking to

myself " you have got to be kidding because I was so

shy growing up and at that time I was only 21 years

old and I was still very very shy. " She told me that

she would pay me more than my current bookstore job

and that I could pick my own hours to work. So I went

for it! 20 years later I am still tutoring students

and I LOVE it!

What are you afraid of? If you do a good job and I

know you WILL you will get more and more clients.

When I tutor students and I do a good job one student

tells another student and so forth. And the teachers

at my college also recommend me to the students.

Are you going to give it a try?

Let me know,

Jen

Thank you for sharing your story Jen. Be proud, you have done wonderful with yourself. :)Yes, I think I'm going to go for it. I still haven't gave my secretarial job my notice, but that is becuz I'm not looking foward to it, not becuz I finally know now that I don't want to come back.

Monday monring Kim comes for her first session. I'm nervous. I need to come up w/ something by then and get my gym cleaned out...ugh...scary big steps, but I feel like I would be a fool if I didn't take them!

Thanks again, you're very inspiring!!!DarcyOn 6/7/06, from Michigan <volleyjen0416@...
