How would you rate your overall satisfaction with this program?
AWESOME AND BUSINESS CHANGING
Recently I attended the Young Entrepreneurs Business Mentoring Program…All in all, the program has been most beneficial.
Also, the program has been great for networking. I’ve picked up a new account, at a session based on web design, of all things!
The Frank team has provided worked through templates that can be adopted to our own businesses. This saves an immense amount of time starting from scratch and provides established guidelines on things such as budgets, lead trackers, target markets and marketing calendars.
There has also been an astonishing array of speakers covering relevant topics, for example; accounting, internals systems such as salesforce, website design and past and present success stories – simply inspirational.
I’d like to thank the Frank team for tailoring a program based on the businesses attending, allowing each person to feel their needs were met in the areas requiring most development.

Your 2011 – Massive success; or Epic fail?
January 4, 2011 by admin
Filed under Getting Started, Homepage, Homepage-GettingStart, Homepage-IdeasAndOpps, Ideas, Ideas & Opportunities, Start Guide
Imagine this….it is 31st Dec 2011 and the whole world is about to celebrate the coming of 2012 – what do you think will be your final reflective thoughts of YOUR 2011?
Well…….you have 361 days to create this year as you want it….and counting.
Richard Branson in his book “Screw It, Let’s Do It”, said,
“I always tell people that if they want to do anything well, they must plan and prepare.”
Don’t forget to take time to do this important step. It is only too easy to get caught up in the excitement or the ‘busy-ness’ and forget. Don’t watch that Youtube interview, don’t check your Facebook, don’t plan on how to spend your riches…until you have planned and thought about your business goals and strategy. Branson’s achievements only prove the value of this importance business step.
Have you thought of what makes a great business, as opposed to a frustrating, going-nowhere business? How will you know that yours will be successful? Well, let’s hear from some hugely successful young entrepreneurs on how they started and planned their path to building great businesses…
Scott Farqhuar’s checklist (regarding what he looks for in a biz) – Atlassian
1. Would I personally use this?
2. Do I get excited about the possibilities of this idea?
Matt Wilson’s checklist– Under30CEO.com
1. How much time/effort will the idea take to implement?
2. Is the idea profitable?
3. Does the idea fit your businesses long term strategy?
4. How will the public view your idea?
5. How will your employees view your idea?
Now it’s your turn. Rate yourself in our simple Business Fire Test checklist – 10 questions and you will know exactly where you are at, and what you need to do.
And if you are a Sydney Young Entrepreneur we have some outstanding 2011programs with mentors, business experts and super hot business content!

Tips For Your Fitness Business
June 4, 2009 by admin
Filed under Growing, Homepage, Homepage-GettingStart, Management
Exposed: The Top Four Tips to a Successful Fitness Business
Josh Panebianco of Sydney Active is a young entrepreneur making waves in the personal training area. Here he shares his TOP FOUR tips in running a successful fitness business – so that you can do it too!
Setting goals
Personal training is all about helping your clients achieve their goals, but if you don’t have goals set out for your self and your fitness business, you have no chance of succeeding. You gotta walk the talk!
Goals are destinations, places that you would like your business to be.
Try to make these goals as specific as possible.
After you have set your goal now work out the actions that you need to complete to achieve your goals. For example you need x amount of clients to earn x amount a month which equates to x amount a year. Then break this down to how many prospects you need this month to achieve your goal. And then to get those prospects (to your website, through referrals, through networking etc) what action do you need to take.
One final note; don’t make all your goals monetary. Think about things that mean a lot to you in and outside your business.
Use direct debit to charge your clients
Direct debt is the only way you should charge your clients – and I have learnt this the hard way!
Direct debit makes you three times the amount of money with the same amount of clients. Never use packages they are for cave men who don’t know how to run fitness businesses. Charge your clients monthly by direct debit. With direct debit if someone doesn’t turn up you still get paid. Unless you love asking for money and love signing up the same person again and again auto debit is the only option.
Now that you direct debit all your clients you don’t look at how much your making per session it’s now more like how much you make a month with x amount of people coming twice a week.
You if wanna know more about how to make this work, then contact me direct and I am happy to share.
Create qualified clients
When someone calls and says “hi, I would like to learn more about your services and ask your prices,” don’t just tell them turn it around and say “ok, great well what do you want to do?” so you can learn more about them.
More often than not they will give you the standard answer of “I just want to get fit” or “just want to lose weight”. So then ask them “why it is important to you to get fit or lose weight”. Be aware that you may have to ask this a few times. What you are trying to do is to find their hot button which means their pain, the emotional reason why they called you. For example their father died of a heart attack and they don’t want the same fate. After you have found the emotional reason for wanting to train with you now is the time to go through prices and the times that they can train.
After that repeat everything they have said to you, for example so you want to train because your dad had a heart attack and your don’t want the same thing to happen to you, you want to train three times a week and you want to lose x amount of kgs .This will reinforce in the prospects mind the reason they want a person trainer and will create qualified clients before you even meet them in person.
Setting your hours
You may think that controlling your session times is the last thing to worry about, but letting your clients set your working hours is a recipe for disaster.
Make sure that you’re the one setting the hours that you work not your clients. Have blocks of the day that you train and commit to filling your hours. 6 till 10 and 4 till 8 or some thing like that and any time outside that make your self unavailable. This will help you gain control over your clients and stop your from becoming burnt out.
These are just my TOP 4 TIPS to running a successful personal training business.
If you want to learn more about getting qualified as a personal trainer, starting your own personal training business or just about motivating yourself then contact me. You will find me at
www.personaltrainerssydney.com.au

If you are a young entrepreneur who has started a business and would like to share your TOP TIPS with other young entreprenuers, then send through your article to info@frankteam.com.au for consideration.

This snippet is all about converting your online visitors to your site to take action in some way.
It is a perfect lunch time listen!
Download here and listen now for your dose of Web Conversion Tips.
The Real Basics of Online Marketing – Workshop
The Frank Team is proud to present its first workshop in its new “SHOW ME HOW” series; our workshops that are presented by young entrepreneurs for young entrepreneurs that are only about stuff you need to know about and focus on showing you HOW TO DO IT YOURSELF.
We have noticed that many young entrepreneurs with websites are unsure of some of the basics of online marketing. That is anything from key words, search engine optimisation, landing pages and good web page structure. As such they are not getting the most out of their website or web development team.
Young Entrepreneur Fred Schebesta, an online marketing gun, is here to save the day! We have an awesome 3 hour practical workshop that will cover the basics of online marketing in a really fun, simple & highly practical way. Low on jargon and high on usefulness is what we can guarantee.
