We are different from other weight loss places. They have a good sales model - help people lose weight....usually to gain it back again to lose it again. We want to help people lose weight PERMANENTLY - FOREVER! We do it through healthy food education, metabolism retraining, and motivation. Motivation is the biggest part of the solution - and is also the part that is missing from all the other programs out there.

Country Fest Parade
Today we teamed up with Erickson Enterprises Great Clips to help distribute coupons in the South Jordan Country Fest parade. Being this was my first parade, I definitely learned A LOT about how to improve the next time!
1. Separate the candy from the coupons - Kids want candy, the coupons are for the parents. It would be best if we had 1-2 people throwing candy and 1-2 people handing coupons. That way we could cover all the crowd spectrums.
2. Have a vehicle placed at the end of the route as well as the start of the route! This way it's quick and easy transporting the parade participants back to their vehicles and families. This also provides an easy way to have cold water accessible at the end of the parade.
3. Bring breakfast, sunscreen, and WATER! As participants are lining up, it's a great time to socialize and hand out cards and network. I had many marketing ideas pop into my mind as we were waiting for the parade to begin.
4. Parade spectators are touchy! As I was handing out Great Clips coupons I had a lot of them comment "Nothing Personal Right?" to the haircut coupons. They didn't know they were getting $30 for 30 day coupons too! I'm interested to hear what their response is to our tag line - "Do something sweet for yourself and lose your "rolls" this summer."
5. I wore our Total Solution Tee shirt - but would have felt more comfortable wearing one of the tee shirts we got from great clips. Since this was an event to support Great Clips, I should have had one of their tees on. I would have enjoyed myself more because I would have been more comfortable about fitting in!
All-in-all I thought it went well for the first one, but I would definitely want to tweak my approach for the next one. I enjoy working with Erikson Enterprises Great Clips so much and would like to have supported them better with better representation today. Any disappointment I may feel towards this event is geared towards my participation and support of them.
I learned a lot from how Tammy of Great Clips worked and marketed the entire day. Not only did she make the parade fun for the kids, she found marketing ideas and took pictures with the Real Bear Mascot and Miss Utah - and got permission to use them in her promotional material. Miss Utah also agreed to send her information about how she has help change the stereotype of beauty pageant women. That's great stuff for Great Clips to help promote! Way to go Tammy

Millcreek Venture Outdoors Festival
We participated in the Venture Outdoors Festival in Millcreek over the weekend and had a great time! I attempted my first teaming game with 2 other booths. I'd met Salt Lake County earlier that morning at the Slimdown Sandy weigh outs - so when I saw them again at the festival I wanted to create a competition to see how many people we could send to each other's booths. I met Stretch and Grow at the festival and liked what they had and attempted the same for them.
It made the day a lot more fun for me - but also distracted me from my main objective in going to the festival....and don't know how many referrals of mine actually remembered our name or mentioned it to the other booths.
I'm made it through calling the leads we collected at the event and have gotten a pretty good response so far. So far it seems like the I-215 barrier is a bit of a problem in getting people to cross, but I haven't had enough time to make a definitive assessment of our return on attending the event.
The highlight of the event was that I met Alie of moonvine organics and we are going to work on some cross marketing and drive traffic to each of our businesses. I'm totally excited about the possibilities and events we have planned so far.

Phone Call
I took a phone call today that made me think. The person on the other line said she watched our Life Success video on our corporate site after meeting us in the community. That evening, even though she was tired she got up and went for a walk! What was it that helped her find the motivation to do what she really needed to do, when in the past she would have given in to not getting off the couch because of being to tired and not having enough energy? It was the power of Life Success!
The power of Life Success is monumental! Its in the Life Success lessons where we learn how to address the real reasons we have weight to lose. Without identifying and changing our focus, belief, or habits we will be hard pressed to find permanent results.
Only 15% of weight loss has to do with the food! Advertising would like to have you think otherwise, but if you think about what has brought your weight on - or even taken it off, was it really a problem with food? I propose the answer will be NO! In most all cases the food was a symptom of bigger problems - time management, energy, social influences, job stress, stress in a relationship, etc.
Let's get off the diet roller coaster and yo-yo dieting and learn how to retrain your metabolism and fix the root causes of where the weight came from in the first place. Life Success is the answer - don't miss out on the cure! Stop treating the symptoms of weight gain, and identify the root causes. If you want something to change in your life, then YOU need to make it happen!

First Monday
Today's the first Monday of the Thin&Healthy Utah blog...just like most Americans start diets on Mondays, we're starting our blog (I thought it was fitting). I'm working on putting an introductory video together explaining more about who we are, where we're located, and what sets us apart from other locations. I can confidently say we have a very unique selling position in helping solve pandemic level obesity rates.
New diets and exercise routines come out every day - yet Americans are more over-weight now then we've ever been! Why hasn't a solution been implemented? The answer is: people have not found the total solution. The correct focus should not be just diet, or just exercise - or even diet and exercise combined! It's got to start with motivation and removing the road-blocks keeping us from sticking with the correct methods.
Weight loss takes place using many methods, systems, diets, surgeries, and/or theories - all of which have validity, but the long term ingredient that's missing is motivation!
Keep watching for updated images of our facility, calendar of events, locally produced sub-rated videos, and introductions to other team members.
