Prosperity Thinking
Last month I spent a night in New York City I was surrounded by 250 superstars, from TV show hosts to NY Times Best Selling authors (Tim Ferriss and Roman), and dozens and dozens of the world’s top fitness experts (like Jason Ferruggia and Isabel De Los Rios). It was such as amazing crowd I’m…

The old Ballantyne farm where I grew up lies in the fertile lands of Southwestern Ontario. On our property you’ll be treated to a great bounty of what Mother Nature has to offer. There are rolling hills where my father planted corn, flat stretches of fields where he grew his soybeans, a small bush of…
Read MoreFour Minute Abs Workout
This is perfect for your weekend. Yesterday I mentioned a 7-minute workout that Women’s Health magazine wanted me to review. The workout was truly terrible, using exercises like crunches (even if you had two hours to workout, you shouldn’t be doing crunches.) A much better 7-minute workout would be this: 1) Total Body Extensions –…

The subject line of this email might sound too good to be true, but my buddy Bedros Keuilian assures you that it’s not. He has a special article for you today…because after spending 9 days in America and getting home early yesterday morning, I have to turn around and head back to Denver today…big weekend…
Read MoreWhy We Fail
Why We Fail By Craig Ballantyne, MS, CTT with Jason Klein, CTT It was another one of those days. Stuck in traffic, with places to be and people to see. I was running late for my workout, and beings I only allot so much time for each activity during the week, I ended up having…
Read MoreMy Near Death Experience
There I was, out on an innocent dog walk, when I came about 50 feet (or what felt like a lot less) from death. It was one of those weird “sunny-rainy-snowy-back-to-sunny” days that only April can deliver. Around 4 p.m. the weather seemed fine, and so it was time to walk old Bally the Dog…

How to Defeat the Cardio LIE By Craig Ballantyne, MS, CTT With Jason Klein, CTT Mile marker number 23 of the Disney World Marathon was where the magic happened. I had been a very serious endurance athlete until this strange turn of events. It somehow hit me all at once. The thought that cardio was…
Read MoreWorkout Equipment RANT
It’s the worst piece of equipment in the gym. But, it’s also the most popular. And I understand why. Listen, it’s not your fault that you use it. After all, it’s easy on your brain, and you like that because of your crazy, busy, stressful life. Heck, this piece of equipment let’s you turn OFF…
Read MoreMake A Promise
It was one of the best pieces of business-building wisdom that I had ever heard. Short and sweet, this advice should be followed by every business owner, both online and offline. We were sitting in one of the first Mastermind meetings that Bedros Keuilian and I had ever done together, and Bedros had brought in…
Read MoreUnique Upper Body Workout Twist
The planes, (turbulence) trains, and automobiles tour continues for me today. I’m leaving Denver and heading off to Stamford, CT, for 2 days. The day started with a 3am alarm so that I could get up and do my morning reading, meditation and a quick workout. I always exercise before a flight. No excuses! And because…
Read MoreGet More From Less
Does this sound familiar? You hit the ground running at 6 a.m. (almost literally) and you don’t stop until midnight. That’s the prototypical busy executive’s schedule these days. And it’s virtually all wrong. Up at 6 a.m., they drag themselves out of bed to hit the road for an hour of jogging. That’s followed with…
Read MoreHow to Make More Sales
Last year at our September Mastermind, my business and Mastermind partner, Bedros Keuilian taught our group an incredible system. It showed us how he got a ton of sales, and over 60% were from people that had NEVER, ever bought a product from him before, even though they had been on his list a long…
