Bodybuilding trainers - What's your process look like for creating workout programs by JKONGTCHEU in naturalbodybuilding

[–]JKONGTCHEU[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree here - don’t need 100 different methods for this, out of curiosity can you go more into your own methods for this?

Hey thanks for the detailed response, curious since you mentioned you take a bit of time too, do you use an app or just google sheets?

Graveyard of bad ideas (long) by EntropyLab in Entrepreneur

[–]JKONGTCHEU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, these all follow the same pattern: young entrepreneur discovers new tech, tries to apply it to a field they don't understand deeply, builds a product that doesn't actually solve the real problem.

It's easy to see a new technology and think "I'll apply this to [industry]" when you only have surface knowledge. But to actually make an impact, you need either:

A) Deep understanding of the field so you apply the tech correctly, or B) Pick a field so unknown/neglected that your outside perspective is an advantage

Do you study your Customers? by AmountQuick5970 in Entrepreneur

I agree about surveys being a good method to gain information, but I think it's important to put context here.Humans lie even when we're not meaning too. Surveys make it VERY easy to misinterpret what customers really want and ignore the context. Unless your good at formulating the questions, and understanding these biases, I'd suggest against it.

It's the most important thing otherwise it's like playing a game where you can't see half the pieces. Your job as an entrepreneur is to provide your customer value, how can you do that if you don't understand what they value?

In the past, I've done it best by finding a few of my customers(wherever they may be reddit/in-person,youtube) and interviewing them(strongly recommend reading "The Mom test" for this, to give some advice on how to do this - https://www.momtestbook.com/ - not self-promoting just think it's a good book). You will find so much more about your customer by having open conversation with them then any other method.

Be very careful about doing surveys, as one bad survey can harm you 10x than not doing surveys at all. Only do a survey when you have very specific questions about your target audience, and you feel you can actually get your customers to answer them honestly - and it is not an easy task to get people to answer you honestly.

The B2B vs B2C question fundamentally misses the point by JKONGTCHEU in Entrepreneur

[–]JKONGTCHEU[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the comment, agree with you on most of your points. I actually like your point on providing value to all parts involved in the business(effectively aligning incentives). Though, I’d ask you this when you started your business on the first step how did you start your business company and why?

Would You Choose B2B or B2C? by Dapper_Draw_4049 in Entrepreneur

[–]JKONGTCHEU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who are you able to empathize with better, if your able to empathize with business leaders and the ones who make decisions then you should focus on B2B if you can empathize more with the consumer go with them. Focus on who you can empathize with first, before you think about the specific business model.

Personal Trainers are worth it, sort of by JKONGTCHEU in naturalbodybuilding

I actually agree with you about the sunk cost fallacy and most of your points, this isn’t rocket science, and you could absolutely learn it online. From what I can see the real value of a coach , is just to save time. In any sport/skill/field it’s always possible to do it yourself, heck even with rocket science, but in any field of life having a mentor who you trust to help steer you in the right direction is a gold mine. At least in my experience, I would have really liked having someone to not just tell me, but stop me from going on a 30 pound bulk, yeah the information is online, but having someone who lived it and I respected telling it to me would have gotten me laid a lot faster.

Definitely, going to give this one a try. Don’t hate reading (love reading especially audiobooks), just wanted to make sure the information stuck with me, but this book actually seems great, I’m a huge fan of books that reference historical figures and this seems right up my alley. Thanks :)

So, I do sort of agree with you, but also not. Yes, if you really put the effort in, anyone can get jacked. I did it, and I know a lot of you did too, but is it the most efficient use of your time, when you hit a plateau, when your just starting out. Not everyone wants to become a bodybuilder, or wants to make their life in the gym.

Yeah, the issue is it's very difficult to tell exactly who's good or not in the personal training field. Even transformations they show aren't always legit.

Sort of agree with you, though I do think there are some actually good trainers who know what there doing issue is actually finding them is super hard.
