With a Master's degree in Counseling and as a former career counselor, Andre shares his insights in a thorough, easy-to-understand way that will empower fitness models to create business careers that are both profitable and personally meaningful.

Year after year, so many people aspire to make a business career in the fitness/bodybuilding industry, yet, so few of them ever succeed, despite their hard work, great ideas, and best intentions.
