I have to be honest, I was a terrible student in High School. That is ofcourse when I even went to school. It’s not that I wasn’t capable of learning, I just had no interest in what I was learning and therefore never took the time to apply myself in order to reach my true academic potential. Being a rebellious teenager only amplified my reasons to “go against the grain” by skipping classes, paying others to complete homework assignments, and cheating on exams whenever possible. And even though I was a bad student, I wasn’t necessarily a bad kid. Yes, I did get suspended a few times, and sure there was even an expulsion or two (we can save those stories for another blog) however for the most part, I always knew that no matter what I did in life, I was going to become successful.

God Damn Motherf#cking COVID-19!!!!!!!

Ugh......We have been living through this Global Pandemic for two years now!

People have lost their lives.

Employees have lost their jobs.

Employers have lost their businesses.

The Stock Market is tanking.

Interest Rates are rising.

Inflation appears to be occurring.

And a potential recession looms on the horizon.......

I like to view myself as a expert in my field. I always try my absolute best to provide the ultimate training experience to each and every client that I work with. Whether a client is working with me on the floor at our training facility here in Vancouver, British Columbia, or Online from their home, I have always strived to provide the absolute best customer service to anyone who chooses to work with me as their Trainer/Coach. In an industry in which you are selling a service, your reputation really does mean everything. And in my opinion, this is why it's so incredibly important to not only practice what you preach on a daily basis, but also to portray yourself as a professional in every setting you can. Ofcourse there is a time for fun and a time for play. But what happens when you start mixing your personal life with your professional life both in person, and online? It is possible for the two to coexist simultaneously without causing conflict and creating turmoil in one's life?

Happy New Year!

Personally, I've never been much of one when it comes to New Year Resolutions. I've always believed that if I want to make a change in my life, whether it be on a professional level or a personal level, to just rip the bandage and make that change right away. The idea of waiting for a new calendar year to begin in order to make a positive change has always perplexed me. Ofcourse I do understand as to why some people might feel that a fresh new year provides them with a fresh new start in life. It's almost as if we can wipe the slate clean and leave all the drama, misfortunes and bullshit behind in the previous year. But in my opinion life doesn't work like that. Problems from our past can still have an impact on our present and our future unless we deal with them accordingly. If there is anything that 2021 taught me, it's that you really can't sweep your problems under the rug and hope that they will just simply disappear. And as uncomfortable, painful and/or terrifying as it may be, I feel that we have to confront these issues before leaving them in the past for good.
