Independance Day!!

Back on BLOGVILLE.....there has been a HUGE transformation since my last correspondence! I am developing my personal training business and completely simplifying my life. What an ideal situation....coaching soccer, personal training, and enjoying that much needed balance that I really thought I had before......BRING IT ON!!

Have a sensational day!!

Happy Holidays!!!

Happy Holidays and great health to all!! I have taken some time away to get realigned, refocused and recharged! I have gone through more "drama" this past year than I have in the past 48 years combined......WHEW!!
I am finally getting close to embarking on my new career....... close to getting my Xango business foundation formed properly............getting my personal transformation in line.......getting my perspective on reality back in order................
I am thankful for so much, grateful to have the special people in my life that truly make a difference, and have come to accept my reality of "being human" and all of the mistakes, lessons and growth that comes with it!!

Live,laugh and love!

The Xango Experience!

Back to reality.....the Annual Xango Convention was a HOMERUN!! 10,000 attendees, countless speakers, endless new faces and everyone was sensational!! Tons of great new information, updates, medical reports, training......talk about the best company on the planet!! If you are not lucky enough to be involved, change it!! I think the best thing about the event, was being able to put some faces together with the names and voices! It's a new "day one" for my business! Rock On!!

Xango Annual Convention!

It's finally here......the Annual Convention for Xango in Salt Lake City. I am leaving early in the morning tomorrow, taking a short 7 hour drive, and settling in for about 5 days. It will be great to finally put a face with all the names, meet a ton of new people, and get regenerated about the business. The Swedish crew is rolling in, and it'll be great to reconnect with them!!
I'll get back here upon my return, and get myself reorganized about writing daily......

Progress.........

Oops.....missed a few days here! I am concluding my local health club visitations, trying to get a feeling on the local training market and seeking employment opportunities! The best response for employment has come from my first choice, believe it or not, and looks very promising! It is the largest health club here, one that I previously belonged to for over 5 years, and one that potentially could be a "homerun" for my business and soccer ties! I'll keep you posted....I'll know a bunch more in about 2 weeks. I am sooooooooo ready to get back to being productive, at least measurable productivity.........

You Never Know!!

What a funny world.......I received an email back today from a 5-star fitness resort in Fiji that I had applied to back in August!! I am a finalist for a fitness instructor position there!! I had forgotten about it, and also didn't think for a second that is was a reality. Yeah, you never know...... The weather has changeed here, maybe for the season. We now have snow around us in the mountains and it's stunning! I am not ready for it, but, oh well!! Have a great month!! Live,laugh and love! http://mtoofit.discovermangosteen.com

Happy October!

OK!! I am back home after a little trip, and it's time to get back to a regular schedule.....no more studying! I am heading out today to visit a couple clubs, trying to find someone to become affiliated with. I am also starting a rough draft of my brochure this week, along with a basic business card and some ideas for a website. Starting over is great! It seems to scare most people, but the change is a wonderful and exciting new opportunity for me......stay tuned! Live, laugh and love! http://mtoofit.discovermangosteen.com

Personal Trainer Certified!!

Mission accomplished! I just returned from taking my other certification test for my personal trianing business and new career.......PASSED!!!!!! Yeehaw! I am going to get the exposure program ramped up; brochure, website, business cards, newspaper, and some serious word of mouth! Here we go......turn the page and get ready for the new life, new career, new outlook, new happiness, and new perspective!
Stay tuned, I'll keep things current here!

Time certainly does fly.....

WOW! Where did a week go? I can't believe how time carried on for the past 7 days!! I have had my head buried in a text book and my eyes stuck to my computer studying for my last certification....taking the test in a few short days. It has been really awesome these past few days, hearing from people who want to train, telling me about people who need to train, and getting tons of very positive feedback regarding my new endeavor! I can't wait.......and i am a terrible waiter, as my friends can attest to! Live,laugh and love! http://mtoofit.discovermangosteen.com

Personal Training Evolution!

I am finding out just how many friends and acquaintances are suddenly in need of fitness advice, knowing I have been involved personally for 30 years, but now with my certifications I seem to be in demand! HUH!!
The studying is coming along, my brain is getting a solid meal of information, and I am ready to bring this thing full circle and take the exam next week!
I have an opportunity to visit a health club owner in Nevada about the possibility of a great new career.....2 weeks away! Stay tuned!

Textbook Time!

This weekend signals the beginning of my next "chapter" in studying for my second personal training certification. Round one consists of a 675 page textbook, followed up by 3 video series and corresponding manuals for follow up! I am 500 pages into the textbook, finishing up Monday and getting into the video portion of my studying. I have always enjoyed "brain food", and I am getting a steady menu of it now.....what fun!! There's a whole lot to be said about acquired knowlege and new beginnings!!!

Another Training Thought.....

I had another training thought today.....what about the soccer club that I coach for? There are enough teams and players to keep me very busy, and at the same time strengthen the competitiveness of the local teams! I am also beginning to explore website design, taking a look around and gathering information. Change is incredible!! New thoughts, ideas, exposures, knowledge and windmills to chase!!

Myth Busters!!!!

Think about this......if you can have the best physical conditioning of your life, regardless of your age, would you take it? Yeah, it's a very silly question! This is one of the approaches I am going to pursue and promote with my new training. I might even call it Myth Busters, or something along those lines, and focus on the baby boomers......I am in the best shape of my life at 49 years young and I think it's time to share!!
The only boundaries we have internally are self imposed.......want to blast through them?

Good Morning and Happy September!!

Another month rolled by, and a new season is rapidly approaching......WHEW!!
I am getting ready to create a website for my new personal training business. It's going to be a combination referral/store front venue for the business, creating awareness for myself and my business along with training and related information that can be subscribed to on a monthly basis.

Finally I am getting to a place where I am totally content simply helping others, having a chance to give somethings back that I have accumulated over the past 30 plus years training myself and others!! Stay tuned, it's going to be off the charts!!

The Ability To Communicate!

How refreshing is it to have someone that you can talk to about anything? These people are very few and far between, and are to be cherished and never taken for granted!! When you think about it, simple communicating seems so easy, so simple, and yet so insanely difficult! What a paradigm! Are people hearing what you are saying, or what you are telling them? Is it really crystal clear, and if not, do they ask for clarification? Are things simply taken for face value, or maybe a bit overthought and misunderstood? Might we be reading too much into things at times?

All great things to ponder!! Live,laugh and love!

Make It Happen!

Another day......had a wonderful talk last night with a good friend who is active in the Bozeman personal training market, and it helped to answer some questions! I am going to stop by her club on Friday for a "look-see" . A voice from the past, planned of course, called yesterday and we had a super talk. She is still up in the air about a relationship.......funny, after she told me she is tired of being alone and of seeing her friends with their husbands, etc! A little mixed on the signals!! I am not sure how much longer I can wait....I care the world for her but it's getting close to maybe moving on, we'll see. Have a great day: live, laugh and love! http://mtoofit.discovermangosteen.com

A Day of Discovery!

Today is going to be a day of discovery.....I am going out to check the pulse of the local personal training market, make some contacts and get a gauge on the potential here for my new career. The weather is perfect, as it always is here this time of year, and it's going to be an exceptional day!! I'll let you know how things went tomorrow......live,laugh and love! http://mtoofit.discovermangosteen.com

Relax and Enjoy!

Today is day 2 of my relaxing weekend! After a long week of way too many hours on the computer sending out resumes, I am giving my mind and my eyes a little break! Next week will find me looking for local employment, training wise, and following up on some of the work from the previous week. Every day is a new adventure, a new smile to share, new people to meet, new opportunities!!! Live, laugh, and love! http://mtoofit.discovermangosteen.com

The Bud or the Blossom?

I had a close friend pose the question this morning: is it more painful to remain as a tight bud, or to allow yourself to blossom? Now, there's some excellent food for thought!! Another great couple days, seeing a fair amount of inquiries regarding my resume....nothing that makes me jump and shout yet!! I am going to look at a few resorts, Hawaii and the surrounding area, for fitness positions. I am ready for a radically new location, warm weather, and a simple and serene life! Share the day with a friend, share a laugh, and let everyone share your wonderful smile! Live, laugh and love! Http://mtoofit.discovermangosteen.com

Back On Board!

Well, it seems as though I have been a little sloppy with my attention to my morning blog! It's time to get back on board and return to consistency. I have had way too much on my mind, for the first time in many years, and needed to process some things and find a direction. We have always taken for granted some very basic elements of our existence, and until you actually call yourself on it, you'll always simply shrug it off!! The "new" train is getting ready to leave the station.....Get On Board!! Live,laugh and love!! http://mtoofit.discovermangosteen.com
