| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, Ben-Cumba Radio, how and earth are you doing? God today is a good day to be alive. Why? |
| 0:06.0 | Because every day is a good day to be alive and I hope you are having a great time of it. |
| 0:10.5 | If not, what needs to change? What do we need to reflect on, whose help do we need? |
| 0:15.4 | Reach out for that person's help because this show is all about developing yourself personally, |
| 0:21.1 | professionally, emotionally, career-wise, and it's really important for me to keep |
| 0:27.8 | nudging you to move yourself forward. That is what I want for you. Anyway, today's |
| 0:32.3 | show is a little bit different. I'm going to read a |
| 0:35.1 | chapter of my book. Now I am not going to, I don't think, alienate anyone from this |
| 0:42.2 | podcast because I'm going to read the |
| 0:44.5 | introduction from my book How to be an awesome personal trainer so this is a book that I |
| 0:49.3 | wrote and published on Amazon it's been written by, sorry, read by thousands of people already and I want to share the introduction because it's a bit more about my personal story from a professional perspective. So whether you're a |
| 1:04.9 | personal trainer or a coach or not, I don't think that really matters because I |
| 1:08.9 | think there's hopefully just some teaching here for people some perspective because I was like anyone |
| 1:20.0 | bad at my career when I first started it and it took me a lot of failures and |
| 1:24.2 | realizations and reflections and gaining perspective to actually become a good |
| 1:31.9 | coach and to sit here where I am today and I think |
| 1:35.0 | so many people hold themselves back from the risk of failure and not being good |
| 1:39.8 | first time round and the reality is you're not you know I was an awful personal trainer |
| 1:44.9 | for a long time before I became a good personal trainer as a result of training |
| 1:49.0 | reflection mentoring so anyway without further ado I'm going to read it. If there's some |
| 1:55.7 | teachings in that for you then awesome if it compels you to buy the book |
| 1:59.5 | awesome. Either way just enjoy the next however many minutes of me reading the introduction to my book. |
