Choosing a Certification Program
There are very few reputable Certification Programs
available that don't require years of study.
If you're going to spend the time
and the money to become certified, it is vitally important that you choose the
best and most effective program -- a program that will fit your needs.
Here are a few thoughts that may
help with your decision. Click on any of the questions below.
* How
successful is the person offering Certification?
What would you be certified to
teach?
What is your income potential?
What is the market potential?
What are you getting in your
package?
How are you certified?
Are your manuals Web Based, rather
than outdated books?
Are there participant
testimonials?
How does price come into play?
Call the Instructor?
How successful is the person offering certification?
This is such an important
question - there is no point in studying a program or method that hasn't been proven
effective.
And there's no point in studying
from a person who has not reached a significant level of success offering the very
programs being offered for certification. See "income potential" below.
I dedicate all my working time to
Easy Tai Chi and 4 Minute Fitness, and am completely dedicated to the students within
my Certification Program.
Besides teaching for
30 years, I
have taught Easy Tai Chi and 4 Minute Fitness in many major North American centers -- New
York City, Boston, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Montréal, Hawaii, Vancouver, Seattle,
Portland, San Francisco, Tampa, Winnipeg, Miami, Philadelphia, Phoenix and many more, as
well as many smaller centers.
As well, I've taught in several
times in Tokyo, and in Guam and Okinawa.
Over the years I've had many
failures and many successes within my business. My goal, my responsibility is to
help Certification participants avoid as many pitfalls as possible and move toward success
with greater ease.
What would you be certified to teach?
Another important question. Our
Certification Program not only certifies you to teach Easy Tai Chi™, but you will also be certified to teach one of the most
powerful mind and body wellness techniques ever developed -- 4 Minute Fitness™.
Easy Tai Chi™ and 4 Minute Fitness™ are two totally different methods that work beautifully
alone or in combination.
4 Minute Fitness™ has huge potential within the business world!
What
is the income potential?
My main goal in my business is to
help people move, breathe and think positive thoughts. Most of the team of people I work
with have the same goal.
That said -- I am in a position
that allows me to help other people while making an excellent income in the
process. There are many people on my team who will make less money than I do, and
I suspect there are many who will do much better than I do over the years as they become
more experienced in teaching and marketing.
It is important for you to know
some of the income possibilities. I teach part time and can generate
$80,000 and - some years - much more annually from speaking fees and
seminar sales. Much will depend on your skill level, your commitment and
your patience. In business - there are no guarantees. But often there is
no limit to your success potential!
Additionally, I also offer weekly
Easy Tai Chi™ classes locally and often at conventions or
seminars.
Of course it's exciting to generate
enough income to live well -- but it is more important to me to know that over the last
few years, I have taught almost thousands of people how to significantly improve their life
potential by practicing 4 Minute Fitness™
each day.
What
is the market potential?
Remember -- if you're going to make
a difference in peoples' lives while at the same time earning additional income -- you
must have a huge market potential.
There are many forms and variations
of tai chi offered these days, but your market potential is dramatically increased
when you are authorized to use the terms Easy Tai Chi™, Tai Chi for Busy People™ and 4 Minute Fitness™.
There is no point in learning a
program that has limited reach within the population.
My Ready-to-Go Business Manual™ is filled with ways and ideas to maximize your reach into
the community and, even more importantly -- into the business world.
Tai Chi for Busy People™ and 4 Minute Fitness™ are best selling video tapes - proven effective and
popular.

What are you getting in your package?
Our Easy Tai Chi™ and 4 Minute Fitness™ certification package offers:
1. Over five hours of training video tapes (or DVD's)
2. Two complete Web Based manuals
- "Be the Best You Can Be™" - designed to maximize your personal development and
results
- The "Ready to Go" Business Manual™ - designed to maximize your business and income potential
3. Video clips available on the Web Based Manuals - added regularly
4. Continual upgrades and updates
5. Continual support in person and by e-mail - designed to help you meet your
personal and business goals.
How
are you certified?
Choose a program that
includes detailed analysis of your movement offered in a permanent and reviewable manner
We
now use a Script based method of learning. Students learn from DVDS and our
Web Based manuals and video clips, memorize lessons and movements and then
do one of two things.
Many
students who are particularly serious about teaching professionally will
attend a Symposium for more personal one-on-one
training.
And
any student may choose to be Certified at a distance by sending me a video
or DVD of their teaching and movement techniques - and I analyze the video.
Choose a Web Based manual, rather than a book
Once you purchase a training book, it becomes
out dated almost immediately.
The advantage of a Web based manual is
twofold.
1. You can access this manual anywhere,
anytime. The web training format allows easy and effective navigation.
2. Both my "Be the Best You Can Be™" and Ready-to-Go™"
manuals are continually updated, with an easy to navigate table of contents.
Often we post new content and new ideas for you to review.
Read
comments from actual users.

How
does price come into play.
Don't just look at price. Often
less expensive programs offer much less value! And more expensive programs may offer much
less value.
They may use teaching videos that
are ineffective, or worse -- you may become certified to teach programs that are
ineffective both in providing benefits to your new students and in creating income for
you.
Although my certification program
is reasonably priced, the content is effective, thorough and all encompassing.
Call the Instructor of the Certification Program if you
have any remaining questions.
There is nothing better than
talking to the person who created the DVD. (If you are calling me, please call toll free
(866) 682-4244 after 9 Pacific.)
