Dedication. I swear, this is the only difference between success and failure. The question is: how bad do you want it?
This month is dedicated to preparation for the show. Well, first graduation, tucking that lil old degree under my belt, and then movin on. Preparing for a show takes a lot of work. Every single day I take actions toward my goals. Every hour for that matter. It's important what I eat, how I train, and also how I think. It does not happen naturally. --and it is not genetics!! haha 
Anyway, now that school is finished I am thinking more and more about what to do next. 
I'm very inspired lately to go more web based with my business but the hours I spend one-on-one with my clients are precious. I would miss that. We laugh together, struggle together, and work hard to make a difference in their lives. I fear that the web just doesn't have that personal element that is such a strong influence and motivator. The magic of presence is missing. 
Would you be as motivated by an online trainer as you would if you had an actual in-person appointment?
I think accountability is the most important part of training. 
But then for me personally, my accountability is to myself, to my calendar, and to the judges at the show. I rely on my workout buddies a bit but in the end it's the decision I make each day to improve and reach success in my personal goals.
