Are You Tired of Not Having Your Degree?

By Jim Bell, PhD, President IFPA

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of the state of your mind."

- Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

New study just out reports that workers who do not have a high school diploma have average earnings of approximately $19,000 per year; with a high school diploma $28,000 per year; with a bachelors degree (B.A. or B.S.) $51,000 and someone with advanced degrees Masters, PhD, MD, etc. have average earnings of $78,000 per year. Considering the difference between a high school diploma and an advanced degree is $50,000 per year and that our working lives can be 45 years or more, the difference in earnings, over your lifetime, can be well over $2 Million Dollars!

That’s like winning the lottery!

$2 Million Dollars buys a lot of fun and a lot of freedom!

Considering those facts, why would anyone not get all the education they could possibly manage?

Of course there are numerous valid, realistic excuses why certain individuals don’t explore their educational opportunities, but be advised, the IFPA has been working hard, along with the Fitness Institute of Technology to eliminate those excuses.

If your excuse is “I don’t have the time or the flexibility to attend a typical University or College degree program.”

Then be advised, that excuse has been satisfied. The Fitness Institute of Technology is a self-study program. You receive all the course materials you need, for each course that is painstakingly designed to make your self-study efficient and effective, and helps you through the learning process at your own pace. You work at your own pace, within the confines of your own schedule, providing you the maximum degree of flexibility you need to earn your degree.

If your excuse is: “I’ve never been a fan of, or good at “Academic pursuits”. Then be advised, that excuse has been satisfied. There are two separate schools within the Fitness Institute of Technology:

1. The School of Medical Fitness Specialization

2. The School of Fitness Training

You have the flexibility to attend either school or both schools through the combined degree program. You also have the flexibility to go as far as your desires and ambitions allow to earn an Associates Degree (A.S.), Bachelors Degree (B.S.), Masters Degree (M.S.) or Doctor of Philosophy Degree (PhD) in either Medical Fitness Specialization, Fitness Training or BOTH! And while each course, in every program, fully educates you in the requisite sciences you must know to attain your goal of mastery, these programs are truly unique from any University or College you have researched before. The Fitness Institute of Technology incorporates the highest level of TRAINING in the form of required INTERNSHIPS within each program and each degree level to ensure you graduate with the necessary knowledge, skills and abilities to perform with an exceptional level of professionalism at a far superior level of competency and scope of practice, far beyond anything available within either the fitness or medical industries.

If your excuse is “I don’t have the energy to take all those courses.” Then be advised, that excuse has been satisfied. The Fitness Institute of Technology is going to help you. If you are already working in the fitness industry, you are already expending enormous energy in an attempt to help your clients. The course work you will take in your program will teach you to work smarter, safer, more efficient and effective than you ever have before, enabling you to work several levels above your current level, all the while expending less energy.

If you are not currently full-time in the fitness industry, are you expending your energy WISELY? Do you ENJOY what you doing? Is your current career moving you TOWARD YOUR GOALS or are you STANDING STILL IN A SELF-MADE RUT?

The programs offered by the Fitness Institute of Technology are the answer to your dreams. Your dreams for much higher income, your dreams for a wonderfully fulfilling career, your dreams for providing for your family, your dreams for transforming your body and your clients’ bodies into works of art, your dreams for helping everyone achieve their health and fitness goals, your dreams to have more freedom and more fun out of life, your dreams to maximize your potential and become a true MASTER OF YOUR CRAFT!

If your excuse is “I don’t have the money, I can’t afford it.” Then be advised, that excuse has been satisfied.

You are right in assuming that most University or College degree programs cost you one arm and two legs. You can easily spend well over $100,000 to earn a Bachelor’s Degree these days, but the Fitness Institute of Technology degree programs are a fraction of that price, and with scholarships and financing available there is NO EXCUSE for anyone not to earn a degree and achieve their dreams.

It is up to you, it has always been up to you! 2006 will soon be coming to a close, what have you done this year to put you in a position where you will do more, earn more, achieve more and be more than you were last year? The wise man once said… “insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” You can decide, right now, to take the steps you must take to ensure a better future for yourself, your loved ones and your clients, IT’S UP TO YOU!
