Change Maker: Turn Your Passion for Health and Fitness into a Powerful Purpose and a Wildly Successful Career

I tried going into this with an unbiased opinion but really knew that I couldn’t since John Berardi, Ph.D., is the co-creator of the very program I use with my nutrition clients, Precision Nutrition. To top it off, the Foreward in this book is written by non-other than Jon Goodman, who is one of the top fitness gurus in the world, in my opinion, and whose books I’ve read and courses I have taken and apply every day in my work. Grabbing a copy of this book made me jump up and down and I started reading it as soon as I received it. I would expect no less than the well-organized chapters the book is laid out in. With colorful chapter dividers with words of wisdom and questions for thought, this book is interactive and makes the reader step out of his or her comfort zone. Being in the health and fitness industry for over eight years now, being a successful entrepreneur is a whole other topic. In Change Maker, John gives the reader ways to separate him or her from the pack, to figure out his or her own special abilities (strengths and weaknesses other than the regular personality test would dictate), to understand clients from the client perspective and not the professional’s perspective, and how to build your business and keep it going. Some of the tips I’ve heard of before, which was fine, but the takeaways and the questions I left asking myself were many. This is a book that can be gone back to many times for direction.
