Here’s what podcast cohosts Jonathan Goodman, Carolina Belmares, and Ren Jones talked about this week on the Online Trainer Show: In Episode 64, What to Do When Other Trainers Steal From You, Ren makes an important point about the kind of person who plagiarizes your content or branding: If you chase an offender down the rabbit hole in pursuit of truth and justice, what you’ll find there is … not impressive. It’s a trainer who lacks the skill, patience, or
work ethic it takes to create their own content and brand identity. Put another way, it’s not someone who’s destined for a long, successful career. Jon agrees, saying he’d more upset if no one was stealing his material. But there are situations when you can’t blow it off. If someone is using your identity to scam clients, for example, you have to take action to stop them and protect your reputation.  Episode 65, Overcoming Fears of Rejection in Online Training, tackles one of the biggest challenges faced by
ambitious, hard-working coaches on the way up: rejection. Disappointment. Failure. As Jon explains, even when you’re getting a mostly positive response to your latest sales pitch, you’ll obsess over the prospects who turned you down. You’ll think more about the one who said no than the five who said yes. Another common theme among trainers struggling to build their business is the idea that successful coaches, people they look up to, can’t relate to what they’re going through. But as Carolina says, they’ve achieved success precisely because of the countless rejections they experienced. By viewing those failures as feedback, they learned, adapted, and steadily improved their offers and their sales skills. You’ll find every episode here: --> The Online Trainer Show
