Muslim Personal Trainer Kicks Ass on Oprah…all by herself!

As you know one of my missions on this blog is to truly dispel all these PR-webinars, more-money-more-money folks who promise you the “secrets to getting on Oprah” and don’t ever really reveal them.

Hmm. Why don’t they reveal them? Perhaps because they themselves have not really ever had a client on Oprah? Or maybe it’s because if they did reveal them you wouldn’t keep buying the seminars?

Or maybe there really aren’t any secrets and all you need to do is work very hard at presenting yourself as authentically as possible, and have a new angle to a story that Oprah and her staff just might want.

Previously on this blog, we covered two other Oprah-stories of success, not created by a PR firm, publicist or viral marketer, but instead created by folks who were willing to get out there and really brainstorm their way to the Oprah show.

Here’s the third installment!

I cannot encourage you enough to study what Mubarakah Ibrahim of Balanced Fitness was willing to do and how it got her on Oprah. (Beware: this did not involve stalking Oprah’s BFF Gayle, or Oprah’s chef, or Oprah’s dog trainer, or even Oprah’s mailman!)

It simply involved Mubarakah having great faith and pride in herself and what she knew was her differentiator from other fitness trainers out there. Bravo!

In less than ten days after Mubarakah went to the Oprah website and emailed them a very brief pitch about herself and her fitness center, she was contacted by Oprah producers and subsequently on the show.

The Web and Web 2.0 offer you amazing abundance if you choose to be brave!

My favorite Rilke quote is, “Be brave and mighty forces will come to your aid,” in Mubarakah’s case, she was her own mighty force! Learn from it!
