OfflineHere is another newsletter I recieved from Mr. Cosgrove today.
He called it Operation Reboot!
————————————————————————————————
June 13th 2006 Alwyn 2.0 arrived on the scene.
Let me backtrack for those of you who don't know the whole story…
In early 2006 I was diagnosed for the second time with Stage IV
cancer. There is no Stage V.
The first go-around I was treated with high dose chemotherapy. It put me
into remission but the disease returned, with a vengeance about a year
later.
This time I would undergo a very aggressive treatment protocol that
involved a bone marrow/stem cell transplant.
Essentially, I was given enough chemotherapy to destroy almost every
cell in my body. At that point, the doctors pulled the chemo and gave me
a stem cell transplant.
Pretty much every cell in my body was reborn from scratch. I was
rebooted.

So what does this have to do with fitness or your business?
Well, about two months ago, Rachel, myself and the Results Fitness
Programming team (Mike Wunsch and Craig Rasmussen) sat down and decided
to completely reboot our program design methodology.
Now, it wasn't because our methods had cancer! We just hadn't sat
down and really looked at what we'd do if we were to start over from
scratch.
Let me break it down — Results Fitness has been open for more than a
decade. I first started training people (teaching Taekwon-Do) in 1986.
My first fitness client was 89 or so.
Our programs have evolved over time as we learned more.
Our last major revision was in 2006 when I was in the hospital and
had some time on my hands.
Since then we've always tweaked and modified what we did.
But it was always that – tweaking – it was never a complete "tear it
all up and start over".
Basically we have to revisit our programming and start from scratch
every so often because we learn so much.
In the last year I've read maybe 15 training books, been to 15-20
conferences, watched a bunch of DVD's and met a bunch of interesting
guys.
Five or six years ago we weren't using kettlebells, sandbags or the TRX.
Of course we've added them – but sometimes it's good to go back to
basics and just start from square one
Add my staff to that learning curve.
Our team go to multiple seminars. They each read a book a week and
watch at least one DVD a week each.
We bring in experts to train our team regularly.
Multiply that learning curve by over 250 clients as our "in the
trenches" results filter.
And then multiply by three to four years since our last "programming
reboot" and it gets pretty exciting!
I'm actually amazed and excited at how many changes we made. We
already get better results than any of our competition.
This will take our clients to a different level entirely.

So how can you take this idea and run with it?
1) Ask yourself if you could go back and start over – would you be
doing different things now. If so ….
2) Just don't be scared to start over now. If it's education, your
career, your life, your fitness program – don't be afraid to continually
grow so much and so quickly that you need to stop and rethink
everything you're doing.
3) Every so often sit down and start over again. Don't stop tweaking and
growing – but don't let your current methods leave you in a box.
Starting from scratch might just allow you complete liberation to
take everything in your life to a new level.
Reboot occasionally :)

PS – keep an eye out for our new programming principles seminar (details
coming soon) where we'll explain the evolution of our methodology and
teach our new stuff.
