Mindset Mastery with Jerome Lamarque

In Jerome's words

The client who couldn't afford to keep training

"I came to Australia in 2010, and by accident I was training someone who said to me, I can't carry on working with you. I asked why, and he said his business wasn't doing very well and he was really struggling financially.

He had a few sessions left, because he used to buy blocks. So I said, next time you come, we'll train in the park and then have a coffee. Can you bring your business plan? I was fascinated, because sports psychology taught me so much about planning and preparation. He said, I haven't got one.

That was really strange to me, that you'd start a business without a plan. So we had that coffee and I took him through some things. He went away, did them, and came back and said, I'm carrying on working with you, you can be my trainer. I asked why. He said, that stuff we did, I applied it and it worked."

Realising it was a gift

"I had that light bulb moment of why people make things complicated, when things are really simple. I thought that was common sense. I didn't realise it was my gift.

Studying sports psychology and working with elite athletes, you enter a world of focus, being organised and performing consistently, and you think that's normal. It was normal to me. I didn't realise most people weren't like that, and most business owners weren't like that."
