What is the best way for you to use your energy? How should you make important decisions? It turns out, it might be different for each person.Dale and I are big fans of learning about things outside of our industry and what we do day to day. You never know how these lines of curiosity will end up improving your skills or help with making connections.Recently I've been learning about something called Human Design. Human Design (or HD for short) is a way to understand how you're uniquely wired. I've found it very helpful with picking what projects to focus on and the best way for me to get work done.In this episode I take a look at Dale's HD chart and we find his type and inner authority.Through trial and error Dale is doing a pretty good job already of living his design, but once we reach the way he makes decisions, we find a few things he can work on.I hope you'll enjoy this very different (yet still Kyle and Dale style) episode of the Dale &amp; Kyle Show.

Discounting Your Prices

In today's episode we're talking about stress, uncertainty and the ways we avoid it.(You may notice a new show format: We're shedding the 'business' style podcast name so we can get more personal. We hope these conversations between two father, business men and friends are valuable in your own lives as a parent, business owner and human being.)Dale was feeling a bit flat a the start of this session so we decided to use a bit of a trick that can help you feel better: asking questions and being interested in someone else.Kyle had recently had some insights about keeping busy in order to avoid his emotions so the pair kick off talking about that and Kyle shares what has been helping him be more present.If you're feeling stressed, anxious or uncertain about the state of the world right now, this one is for you.Links to things we mentioned: Website: Wade Brill  Website: Andy Hobson  App: Insight Timer  Meditation: Peace Walking Meditation  Dale’s website: Energetic Education  Kyle’s website: Bootcamp Ideas

Creative Avoidance

In today's episode we've been inspired by R U OK? Day to talk about how we check-in with our friends.(You may notice a new show format: We're shedding the 'business' style podcast name so we can get more personal. We hope these conversations between two father, business men and friends are valuable in your own lives as a parent, business owner and human being.)Before we hit record, we were talking about that fact that R U OK? Day is great for spreading awareness about mental health, but what if we practiced it every week?What are you currently doing to check-in with those around you?Dale has four different ways to check-in for you to try, plus a little gift for you too.Here they are for your reference:  The Emoji Check-In – Message: Can you send me 3 emojis and explain them? I will do it back.  1 to 10 Scale – Message: On a scale of 1-10, how are you feeling? I just want a number back. Then: How can I take that 6 and turn it into an 8?   The PAL Message – Each morning pick one person and send the message: I’m proud of you because… I admire this about you… I love this about you…  Handwritten Note in a Book – Buy a book, write a note in the cover and mail it to someone. Gift:If you need help with number 4, perhaps you can't afford doing this right now, you're in luck. Simply email Dale the name of a person and why you are grateful for them and he’ll send a copy of his book book to someone on your behalf (limited to the first 5 people).Links to things we mentioned: Website: RUOK Day  Dale’s book: All Work No Play: A Surprising Guide to Feeling More Mindful, Grateful and Cheerful  Dale’s website: Energetic Education  Kyle’s website: Bootcamp Ideas

Leading By Giving

We can accomplish much more than we think in a year. And much less than we think in a day.Recently Kyle heard Charles Duhigg say this on a podcast:Throughout history, there’s only been one killer productivity app, and it is, thinking more deeply, training ourselves to think more deeply about the choices that we are making, to make sure that what I am doing right now, aligns with what I think is most important, and acknowledging that it might be different yesterday and it might be different tomorrow, but at least right now, I’m thinking about that and I’m making a choice to get closer to it.Charles Duhigg, on Dare to LeadIt sparked today's conversation where we explore how productivity isn't always about doing more work, but rather knowing what you need to do in that moment.Some days we need to allow space and time. Other days we need to prioritise something else. Sometimes it's cleaning the house, sometimes going for a walk. Sometimes just putting on our boots and wading in.

The One Killer Productivity App

Ever look at someone else's business and think:'Wow, they get so much done!'What you're probably seeing is the result of lots of tiny experiments.Experiments help us discover if there is a need for our idea. Some work out and some fail. By making them a habit we can stave off stagnating or losing too much when one thing fails.This week on Lead Your Tribe, Dale and I share some of our current experiments to give you a few examples.

What We Think About Returning to Face-to-Face Training

Did you know the questions you ask yourself can have more impact on your success than knowing the right answers?For example: Spending a week asking yourself whether your sessions should be at 6:00 or 6:30 will leave you feeling worn out without much to show for it. If you spent that same week instead asking yourself what you'd like to help your clients achieve in 5 years, you'd end up with a much better idea of where you are going.In this episode Dale and I (Kyle) talk about the difference between high quality and low quality questions. I share some stories about getting stuck on low-level questions and what I did to move forward and Dale shares 6 amazing high quality questions he asks himself each day.We then finish off the pod by answering a bunch of common questions so that you don't have to spend lots of time thinking about them: How long is the best session? 45 minutes or 60 minutes or another time? (thanks Peter from Wales) [skip to 14:40] What is the best course to do for trainers? (Or place to get qualified as a trainer?) [skip to 18:20] What is a good system/software for tracking my clients? [skip to 21:00] Should I offer a free trial? [skip to 22:50] After this is all over, what is a good way to set up a hybrid offering for my sessions (virtual sessions and face to face)? [skip to 26:30] What is a good formula for a 12-week challenge? [skip to 29:45] How do I get noticed? [skip to 34:05] How can I help clients with their nutrition?

Two statements that have been haunting me a little the last few months and how this topic came about. In my particular situation of the pandemic and being in a hot spot, I am happy to be able to stay afloat with my modest community of around 50. Is that just a way to let myself off the hook for not growing?This question lead Dale and Kyle on a 30 minute conversation about success, poor marketing techniques, B.S. and comparing yourselves to others.Links and timestamps are below. 0:45 – Quick update on how some state’s are letting face to face group fitness sessions resume 4:00 – Are the terms ‘grow or die’ and ‘maintenance is a myth’ true?

Starting A Bootcamp Business With $100 [Best Of]

Jase Butty

Today’s episode is one I have been planning for about six months. Jase is a great friend of mine and we have worked very closely over the years, firstly as PE teachers and most recently through building both of our businesses. Jase’s story is one that all trainers will be able to relate to, juggling two full time jobs, whilst trying to keep a young family in tow and still managing to find the time to enjoy his own hobbies (such as footy and basketball).Jase talks about his passion for fitness and the steps he has taken to become a leader in the fitness industry.Jase covers his top advice for trainers who are starting out. Having started with a morning bootcamp of just four people, to now running a training facility in one of Melbourne’s busiest suburbs with over 70 members, this is an episode worth listening too. In addition to the day to day management of Firm Butt Fitness which Jase runs with his partner, Jase also talks of other exciting projects on the go, including an upcoming health and fitness retreat in Bali.

Stick atit and you’ll get better as you practice.People like seeing themselves on social media so sharing pics of your clients is great (with their permission).Dale’s tips for posting: Best time of day: 6-9pm at night for morning clients #hashtags to include: location, city, type of training, business name, fitness, fiffam, outdoor training, bootcamps Best things to post: A mix of group shots (popular) and promotions Social media is great for helping clients keep their finger on the pulse and engaged between sessions andwhile they’re on holiday.If you want to take things to the next level, set up a private community like a private Facebook Group.If you’re unsure whether to have a group that’s open to everyone or just existing clients, answer thisquestion: Are you using this to deepen what you have or just give people a taste?If you want to do both you could always have 2 groups, one for clients and one for everyone.One thing you must do is be clear about the purpose of the group. What is this group for? Why does it exist?How will it help it’s members? If you don’t have one people that’s clear people won’t engage.Links: Facebook Insights – check when your clients are on social media Adobe Spark Post (iTunes) for photo editing Canva.com for making awesome images

S02E04 - Using Social Media To Build Your Business

We kick off today's episode by talking about the relationships we have with our clients. When you attract like-minded people (see last episode) you’ll inevitably end up being friends with some people and that’s OK. This will also create an environment where clients will become friends with them. One thing to be wary of is inner circles or ‘cliques’ that may form in your group. Make sure you’re still trying to make everyone feel included. Keep moving your attention around the group.Dale has found friendships have been a huge part of the success of his group.Dale Tip: Learn as much as you can about your client. Get to know them.Find out things like their partner name, favourite sporting team, kids names, birthdays, what they did on theweekend. Write it down at first and over time you’ll remember these things.We also discuss the topic of Wellbeing ie. someone’s base level of how OK they feel.Fitness is just one aspect of Wellbeing, Nutrition is another, but there is also Mental Health (handling stress,how do you feel when you wake up in the morning?). Meditation has come back to help with this.Spirituality is another big aspect.Kyle defines spirituality as the understanding of yourself and what you want. It’s also the understanding thatyour actions impact the world around you.If someone isn’t coming to our sessions the problem might not be that your workout isn’t good enough oryou’re doing something wrong. It could be in one of these other areas.We need to meet people where they are at. For example: Don’t smash someone in a workout who has lowWellbeing. On the other hand if someone is feeling great, let’s help push them.Links: Brené Brown – Listening To Shame Chris Neason – Better Exercise Physiology

S02E03 - Helping Your Clients To Feel  Successful

In this episode we're talking about marketing. The first thing we want to highlight is that there is no one formula for marketing your business. You need to work out what works best for you. Dale has tried a ton of different things: letterbox drops, Facebook promos, flyers up in cafes, etc. What he's found that's worked best for him is Google Ads. Dale pays an expert to manage all of his Google Ads, it's expensive but he still get's a good return on investment. It takes up no extra time for him so he can focus on running great sessions and his business.This is what work's best for Dale. How can you get leads in your area? Use trial and error.Take some time to learn basic marketing skills instead of just following a step by step process in thelatest fad.Being able to write good copy translates across all different kinds of marketing so it’s a great skill to have.Some tips: Ugly gets attention. You don’t need a graphic designer for your marketing flyers. Less is better. Just share enough to get people contacting you. Don’t overwhelm them. This seems counter intuitive we know. The best marketing is usually from work of mouth. See last episode. Now on to the main part of today’s episode, are you marketing too much? Are you just spamming people?Check out Simon Sinek’s talk or book below and get really clear about Why you are running your business.When you know what you stand for, like-minded people will be attracted to your business and will bewanting to sign up.Do this by: Soft selling (inviting people to join you) instead of hard selling (limited-time, heavy discount, sign up now) Avoiding heavy discounts just to get people to sign up. You’ll attract the wrong kind of person. Letting go of leads that aren’t ready to sign up. Be understanding. Avoid quick fix tactics that boost you short term but hurt you long term. Get help, read books and learn about marketing in general. It will help you either do it yourself orcommunicate with someone who can do it on your behalf.Links: Start with Why – Simon Sinek (I did the audio version and loved it) Start with Why – TED (for those who want the short version)
