FitnessPreneur's Life July / August 2017

We do not need to wait for it to come from on high, or to be ordained. We can choose to be a voice all on our own. Social media has given every human being the same ability to create a platform and amplify their voice. Only the visionaries whose souls are stirring for more will do it. There are people who are content to stay right where they are. They are the excuse makers, the people who play scared and lack vision, and years later are still cemented in the repeating story they tell themselves. The government isn’t coming around to fix your world. Religion is not coming around to fix your world. Your boss isn’t coming around to fix your world. Only you can fix your world. Our industry, and industries all over the world, will be going through a radical change in the next five years that will be owned by those brave enough to step up and announce themselves as visionaries. Visionaries will not play by the old set of rules. They will write new ones. They will not be shackled by the old models of how we did things. They will define, create, and open new ones. Industry platforms are mature. The visionaries and renegades are already on them, speaking, sharing, messaging, creating, rebelling against the norm. You will not survive the next five years in your industry doing more of what you’re already doing. You will be required to think radically different. Elon Musk different. You will have to endure the side glances, the whispers about you, the slander, the misunderstandings — all the while believing in your course of action. Being a visionary is not something you are born with, it’s something you train for, learn how to do, and practice daily. I’m in the business now of training future visionaries. Right now, there are 35 up-and-coming visionaries in my training who are working against the grain to develop their voices, mapping out the treasures they will share with their audience, developing their teaching maps, and being willing to lead from the front. We choose to live by a credo, knowing full well that creating just one visionary brand that allows us to live into our passions, feel in control of our Are you equipped for this?

destiny, and have the reigns of our lives fully in our hands is all it takes to live a life full of dreams, legacy, and significance.

Join us. THE VISIONARY MANIFESTO I AM a visionary.

I CREATE my own way. I IMAGINE a better world. I SHARE my message. I LIVE my mission. I BUILD my own success. I ILLUMINATE the way for others. I’m one VISIONARY BRAND away … How are you creating your own Visionary Guide to the Universe? Sit down and create yours today or this week. Fill in the blanks, get out there with your fist in the air, and stand up for what you believe in. You’re not alone, my friend. Get out here. I used to be a , that grew into a . I was a , that grew into a . I was a , that grew into a . I’ve become a . This is like your Mad Libs version of your life’s mission. I had my assistant, Kim, do it to see what it sparked with her. When you do this, share it on your social media and tag me: Vito Lafata – Fitnesspreneur’s Life and #VisionariesGuidetotheUniverse. I look forward to seeing this from you!

It’s been brewing. For the last three years, things have been shifting. I felt it. I was just not unleashing it fully yet. Then, like all great things, it came first like a quiet evolution, barely noticed, but taking shape planning for the survival of the fittest. And then it came with a giant shove, like a mother bird pushing her baby out of the nest to go fly on its own. I USED to be a trainer; I GREW into a studio owner. I WAS a studio owner; I GREW into a fitnesspreneur. Yes, I’m still a fitnesspreneur, but now I see a wider world than just the fitness industry. I started in one place and have moved to another. You will do the same. If you don’t, you will slowly wither. Nothing survives if you do the same thing forever without a new challenge. Doing the same thing without challenge or skill growth leads to boredom and frustration — a slow killing of your soul, because you lose your sense of flow. People who are not given the chance to grow, spread their wings, and evolve get restless, stir-crazy. We know through history, sociology, and science that the human being who cannot express their personal freedom dies or revolts. I believe the future of our world will belong to the visionaries! These are the people who see that the world can be shaped in a new way. That it can become something better than what it is right now. Flip on any news channel, and you can plainly see that right now, the world needs NEW voices and leaders rising up. I AM a fitnesspreneur; I EVOLVED into a visionary. I’ve become a visionary.

Kim’s Visionary Guide to The Universe:

I used to be an event planner who grew into a trainer.

I was a trainer who grew into an entrepreneur.

I was an entrepreneur who grew into a visionary.

I’ve become a visionary.

Get after it, visionaries.
