"This book is fantastic!!! Very solid strategies...I wish this book was available when I first got out of school!! Most health professionals, including myself, haven't had any business classes, so it's a guessing game as to where to turn! This definitely shortens the learning curve dramatically!! It's a MUST HAVE for anyone who wants to be a successful entrepreneur!"

I wish that I'd had Margie's book 15 years ago when I started my own private practice. Her guide is practical, refreshingly concise, and motivating. Margie gives us the tools to turn our dream into reality. Don't delay -- get your hands on "Just Jump" and start growing the business of your dreams.

Margie, this is JUST what I was looking for! Thank you and FANTASTIC job!!! ...this book is a MUST HAVE for fitness professionals who want to start their own business. I remember going to Borders and skimming the shelves but none of the business books really "spoke" to me. I do not consider myself a business savvy person so I needed something that was specific to the fitness industry. "Just Jump" is the roadmap that I have been looking for!

So many health and fitness professionals fantasize about quitting the daily grind and opening up their own businesses. This book helps you make that fantasy a reality by providing you with the tools you need to make it happen. If you lack the business confidence to go for your dream, then this is a must read. The thought provoking exercises will help you define your direction as you build a workable business plan. If you follow the steps outlined in this book, you will soon be on the road to a more purpose-driven, meaningful career!

Finally! A book written in plain English by someone who has successfully made the Jump to self employment and is willing to share her insights with the rest of us! This book is a must read for anyone in the health and fitness industry who ever considered being their own boss. Marjorie Geiser writes with passion and anticipates your questions in a way that makes you feel she's sitting just across the kitchen table with you, as your own personal coach.

Just Jump explores two essentials of any new business: the business plan and the marketing plan. Sound scary? Marjorie makes it manageable so you won't get stuck in the terminology - and instead begin to visualize its success.

In Just Jump, Marjorie Geiser gives us a specialized start up guide for anyone starting a health and fitness business or any new business. Though this book focuses on health and fitness professionals, much of the information can be applied to any new business start up. I found this book to be filled with great steps and tools to help you succeed, including information on finding your niche, your target audience and the importance of marketing and business plans.
