I wish I had my bachelors so I can study for the cscs cert.
Thinkin about getting nutrition certified. Couldn’t hurt. After all, training is only part of the puzzle.
GD- so your saying I should show off the girls? haha…strength training is sexxy! 
I bought Riptoes books(like just now) to study up and to get ideas… I’ll put it to use for a few weeks to get a feel of the programming.

Well,not necessarily showing off the girls :). Just being aware of the overall image.
If you step back and think about the true reason “why” you want to do this program, what is the answer? If it is financial then that will involve building a base of clients that are interested in your approach.
I think there is an argument for free/low cost seminars on basic lifts concentrating on proper form. These mini-seminars are your marketing opportunity to communicate your strength-based approach to fitness that includes GPP (complexes, maybe prowler / sled). The real money comes from those on-going clients that start with a goal and work a plan that you develop for them.
Ultimately, if you can train people in small groups, that will allow you to replicate your time and make much more per hour.
I read this yesterday. It is Dave Tate’s approach to training a group using the same basic plan but with some variations depending on the individual. You might be able to use a variation on this approach.

Hey, thanks for that GD!
Took a step out to enjoy the day with the kids…
Ultimately, it would be a like a small group class. For ex, one of the trainers has a sign up sheet for her ‘sweat shop,’ class every Tuesday/ Friday and she charges $10 a pop…and she easily gets 20 people a class…shit, if I could make $400 a week I’d be set!
It’s not about the money per se. It’s about marketing myself. I’ve been a ‘trainer,’ there for a year now, but I’m so invisible. It’s about giving this my all, before I move on to something else. Cause at least I can say I tried my best!
Today we went out to RiverFest…its a thing to celebrate the St Marys River…I got a invite to come out to a rowing practice cause I look strong 
Cute.
And tall, no doubt. Rowers are usually big. Are you going to go?
Heck ya…why not?!
The sport itself seems like it would suit me, but never gave much thought to it.
Go for it. I think you’d make a terrific rower.
You think?
I don’t know much about it to be honest, aside from getting in the boat and rowing til you feel like your arms are gonna fall off! 
I have to get in touch with someone to find out more. My kids weren’t cooperating and I didn’t get to talk to the girl much.
rolling/ball work…before/after training?
shit, I guess I can look this stuff up…don’t hate.
I have a rolling pin and a baseball and I’m not afraid to use it!

nice workout, that 100# OHP is right around the corner, you just wait!
Nice deads, looking easy!
yes. upload the hyper video.
once again… what the bear said.
Hey mom
Nice dls! I am so jealous about the trap bar, but my gym doesn’t have one.
Thanks Ink!!
CB- you make me that cheesecake and we’ve got a deal
Deja-
Kimba- thanks! It’s a fairly new contraption and I don’t see anyone else using it.
I’m hungry…story of my freaking life. Then I was thinking, well, what would I eat right now if I weren’t dieting?? Hmm, a bowl of strawberries and whip cream and some almonds maybe cottage cheese too. So I’ll just have some cottage cheese. sad
I would think you could have everything but the whip
very nice deads MIM. you make those look easy.
and upload the hypers for benefit of form critic, of course.
