OML! Yes, that’s right. Outsource my life! I’ve been working a lot on growing my business and took a trip back to the east coast. Little do any of my employees or clients know I was even gone. I’ve been working a few years to get my business to this point. The business now runs itself regardless if I’m in the picture and I really think this is what any business owner should strive for.
But OML! I’ve been hiring people from China, India, Africa, and now the Phillippines to help in a variety of areas. After a few programmers from India & Africa failed me, I finally found a really good computer programmer in New York of all places who has been helping a ton on our site. Really thankful for that! We have moved our company into a new era where the employees have their own interns and they get trained all from our website. It’s revolutionary.
We’re breaking new ground for what companies should be expected to offer their employees and the resources they make use of. You can see a lot of what we use in our staff training video.
That isn’t for clients to see, but I want to share it with everyone anyway just to show you how incredible our system is. I absolutely love it. And that was taken over a month ago before much of it was implemented. Now that the employees have seen all of that, they are making use of it and things are growing even faster.
I have also hired a few ghostwriters. I know, some of you bookworms think this is unethical but c’mon! I have a lot of books to publish and I really want to get my message out – that is my ultimate goal. In addition to the ghostwriters we have a few full time personal assistants now. I have one assistant, Jane, who’s job is to hire people only. No, not fire them, just hiring. We are hiring soooo many people I had to get an employee just for this. What’s even better? We’re moving away from traditional forms of hiring. In order to work with us, you must do a few things:
- Create a profile on our site like facebook
- Read our books and pass our tests
- Enroll in our internship program and study with us for 6 months
You must do all of those before even having a chance to come on board this ship that is moving at lightning speed. We are that competitive and that elite. I really think this is the future of business and other businesses should jump on board.
So instead of just gloating about what we are doing, I have decided to do something about it. A few years back I was a personal trainer to CEOs and they always complained about having too little time on their hands to take care of their health. Well, I now manage over 50 employees… I do it all from a coffee shop, bed, the beach.. or wherever I feel like being at the time. I’m usually wearing a fitness outfit and have a Naked Juice sitting beside me. And what else? I still have enough time to spend with my lovely girlfriend, go out dancing a few hours a day, workout at least 1 hour a day, write more in my books, and I’m even knitting a new project (which I’ll reveal soon!). So, what is this BS about not having enough time to workout and take care of your health just because you’re a CEO? I don’t sympathize with them at all. I plan on being the living example of what the perfect CEO should be.
Ok, so I said I wasn’t going to gloat. So on one level, I’m going to be a role model to these CEOs and what they should be doing for their businesses. But if you notice my entrepreneur division of the site you’ll see that I also have a tour coming up. On this tour, I will be traveling around to Fortune 500s nationwide in 2010 teaching businesses how to free the minds, bodies, and souls of their employees. MOVFitness is the perfect example of what I think all Fortune 500s should strive for. We mandate great health in our company just as the Lakers mandate it. Our employees are our team and we must give them the tools and motivation to take great care of themselves which will in turn push forward our incredible company. What does this mean? They work when they want to work. They have projects, not hourly duties. They all work where they want to work – in their pajamas if they want, at midnight, or while rocking their baby to sleep. We’re global and make use of resources everywhere. We require all employees to be part of our social network, upload a photo, and participate in our online classes. They further their education with health tools like “The Fire Within” and business tools like “The Summit of Success.”
Once they have learned quite a bit, we apply the SHEEPP-C principle to their work and make them managers. Even if it is just managing interns. This means everyone who is with us for 6 months or longer is a manager. This is constant progression in the company and relieves people of mundane tasks and puts them in positions of authority and provides the satisfaction of teaching others that our hearts yearn. My tour around the country teaches these philosophies and shows how MOVFitness has employees who are well rounded in their mind, body, and soul. And how other companies should listen up – start hiring employees who are balanced in these areas and do what they can to train their current employees to come into balance.
I hope this helps you in your business. We are currently talking with private investors. Feel free to message me if you’d like to invest into our company. We don’t plan on going public as we believe our shareholders are also a reflection of who we are and we want to make sure they are also in balance of mind, body, and soul.
God Bless,
Matt

I haven’t quite decided if this is a good move for our business or not, but we now have FitMatt the Bot on the MOVFitness site. If you pull up the chatbar, you can ask FitMatt all types of questions. He’s not yet as smart as me, but he really fills in the gap for the beginners to our site who don’t really know how to navigate and have a lot of questions but don’t really want to bug an actual staff member.
