When I was a kid I remember going to the circus and being impressed by those tightrope walkers high above my head. Those dudes really took their lives into their own hands and that’s a powerful thing. It stays with me to this day.

I’m always encouraging my coaches to live like those guys, with their lives on the wire. Nothing brings your mission into sharper focus than realizing that one false move can throw your balance off and

You too can life like those tightrope walkers. All you need are these three things to live your authentic self on the wire.

Courage

We talk a lot about courage and think that only firefighters or soldiers have it.

Courage is doing something when it’s not easy or convenient. It’s all about putting yourself out there without getting too worried about the consequences.

Even the dangers we think are out there really aren’t. We get in our own way and courage is putting all that junk aside.

Courage is important because it inspires. It challenges you and those around you. Having courage is necessary if you’re going to step out onto the wire.

You have to be willing to put yourself out there. You can’t care what’s going to happen. Great things will happen if you have courage.

Conviction

Courage puts you on the wire, but conviction keeps you there.

Conviction is a willingness to stand for something more, like a set of principles that you would die for. It means not being satisfied and being driven by those principles in everything you do.

The people with the most conviction will fight tooth and nail for those principles. Is that you? It better be if you want to stay balanced on that wire.

You’d be surprised how many people watch your actions. Having conviction is not only important for you, but the people you’re inspiring. Have conviction and see how much easier being a leader becomes.

Commitment

When you walk the wire, you have to commit. Day in and day out, you have to be there. You can’t stop and go whenever you want. 

We all know those people or clients who shortchange themselves and cheat on their workouts. They don’t get healthy and they let excuses drive them.

You can’t be that. You’re on the wire and if you falter, you fall.

You have the power to make your story an integral part of your business. Having commitment is an important aspect of that. Commitment is what keeps you moving on the wire toward success.

Being a fitness coach isn't as easy as you might expect. A lot of hard work goes unnoticed and since this industry is competitive like any other. Only the, best can reap the fruits of success. Mandy Ingber is an author of two books. She has been a fitness coach for twenty years, and during that time she has had the pleasure of working with film superstars such as Jennifer Aniston, Brooke Shields and Helen Hunt.

Turning vulnerability into a strength

We all go through periods of self-doubt in which we battle low self-esteem and negative self-image. Mandy has dedicated her life to discovering ways to use these emotions as a fuel for exercise and a motivation to improve yourself.

By sharing personal stories from her own life, she bonds with her students on a much deeper level than most fitness coaches out there. This makes her class more dynamic, while her students learn the most valuable lesson of all- to open up and use the energy from within to achieve the things they want in their lives.

Her approach is rather unique because she addresses people with kindness when they are most fragile.  By doing so, she plants a seed of self-love in their hearts and minds. Mandy encourages her students to seek their true selves because that is one of the most important ingredients for success.  

Yogalosophy

Mandy is currently on a book tour promoting her second book 'Yogalosophy for Inner Strength,' but this success didn't come overnight. Her first book Yogalosophy came out in 2013. She sees both of these best-selling books as a continuation of her growing popularity. 

She made the first steps by starting her own website almost ten years prior to the publication of her first book. Mandy made it her calling to share her philosophy with the world.  Not only did she want to share with her students, but she decided that she wanted to share her ways with people that she could not reach in class.

A DVD that she released got her one step closer to realizing her full potential of becoming a best-selling author. 

Devote yourself to your goals

Ideas are cheap.  In fact, they are free. The best way to get things done is to create habits that will make you productive. If you dedicate two hours per day to take care of your body, you can dedicate the same amount of time to the goal you want to achieve. 

Mandy wrote both of her books by devoting two hours a day to writing. After 5 and half months, she had a manuscript. If you really want to accomplish something, you will find time, regardless of the obstacles you are facing.
