GB Athlete is the ranking achieved by attending a GB seminar.
Starting in 2015, GB Seminars will be divided into Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 Seminars.
- Level 1 Seminars are open to all GB students.
- Level 2 seminars are open to those students who have completed a Level 1 Seminar and also meet the following physical prerequisites; pancake, 10 second straddle L, 30 second handstand, chest roll to handstand, rope climb, muscle up.
- Level 3 seminars are open to those students who have completed Level 1, Level 2 seminars and also meet the following physical prerequisites; muscle limber (forwards and backwards), 10 second straddle planche, stalder press (press handstand that begins and ends in a straddle L), 10 second ring handstand, lock arm press handstand on the rings
GB Certification applies to the individual. The level of certification achieved reflects their degree of mastery of the Foundation 1-4 course materials; . GB Certification levels are L0.5, L1.0, L1.5, L2.0, L2.5, L3.0, L3.5 and L4.0.
GB Affiliation applies to a facility and requires that the owner/head instructor has completed two GB Seminars and a work/study at the GB Master Affiliate Awaken in Denver, Colorado. It means that I promote that particular facility heavily worldwide and in turn know that when customers visit that facility on my recommendation that they are going to experience high quality training.
- a basic affiliate website is provided to those affiliates who require it.
- basic business development is provided
- GB Affiliates may earn commissions on GB online course purchases that link thru to our store from their website. (Do not be overly concerned about the technical side of this. My staff sets everything up for the affiliate) The commission rate is tied to the affiliate's level of certification. A major priority for me is that affiliates do not rest on their laurels, but rather continue to increase their GST education. To achieve that, I reward their GST educational achievements with ever increasing commission rates.
- Commission Rates; L0.5 = 5%, L1.0 = 10%, L1.5 = 15%, L2.0 = 20%, L2.5 = 25%, L3.0 = 30%, L3.5 = 35%, L4.0 = 40%.
- Notice that it is possible to be a GB Affiliate and have not yet achieved a L0.5 certification, in which case that particular affiliate would be at a 0% commission rate. The lesson that I want to emphasize is that the more affiliates learn, the more they earn.
- It is important to understand also, that while GB promotes our affiliates heavily; we can not make the affiliate successful on our own; the affiliate still need to have an effective web/internet strategy and presence in order to have enough daily visitors/customers involved in their website/affiliate to generate a reasonable total of commissions.
- There are currently approximately 10 potential GB Affiliates around the world in various stages of development/training (Australia, England, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, USA).
The GB Master Affiliate ranking is very difficult to complete. This is GB's premier level of affiliation and most who attempt it will fall short; not through any real fault of their own, but simply because the standard of excellence is so very high. All of the previous requirements are required, in addition to obtaining L.05, L1.0, L1.5 and L2.0 certifications. There are also multiple work/study visits required that focus on an even deeper level of athletic/instructor/business development. Awaken is an example of a GB Master Affiliate.
