I love to tell you stories about when I was a waiter in Los Angeles. Here is one that really changed my life. This stunning lady with an unbelievable body came in for dinner. Her name was Gilda Marx. And she was with her husband who was the son of one of the Marx brothers.
As we chatted she asked me “Do you exercise?” And I said no. Gilda said, “I have a workout studio…would you like to come?” …and I said yes. So a few days later I went. It was so much fun! A man named Steven played the piano, and we all danced around the room. After class she called me over and said “I don’t want any men in my class so you can’t come back.” Well, I was a little taken back.
A few weeks later one of my other clients asked me what I want to do with my life. His name was David W. After the rejection from Gilda I said to him I want to open up an exercise studio and salad bar so they can eat after their workout.
He took out his checkbook and wrote me quite a big check. When my place opened up a lady came in. Her name was Nina Rhodes. She used to teach for Gilda, but wanted to work for me. Nina taught me how to warm up the body, do a cardio workout, and a cool down. Several other ladies came to teach for me too. The studio became a big success and I learned how to be a good teacher. I was sorry that Gilda said no to me. But the universe said, “Yes!” Hope you are working out every day.
Love,
Richard
