Putting In The SWEAT Equity VS Complainers
It's shocking how many people only want the FREE things. Not just free in regards to money, but also free in regards to effort. It's a sign of the times and as a Strength Coach, I feel it's my duty to change this. If you're a Strength Coach, you should feel the same obligation. You should be inspired and motivated to create change, especially among the weak and timid souls who think they are entitled to everything.
