Not only am I a trainer, fitness instructor, successful webmaster and blogger, but I also used to fight competitively. Before fitness, I also ran my own successful clothing business. All of these pursuits require having a strong sense of self, an incredible amount of confidence, and the ability to face your fears and overcome all of life's obstacles.
I recall a time way back when I was walking down the street with nothing left to my name but 50 cents in my pocket. I had gotten fired from my job at a bank (one you all know the name of!) and the little money I had from my last paycheck was now completely gone. In searching for new work, I was having a hard time finding something. I was on the verge of getting kicked out of my apartment and losing everything. Instead of despairing, I walked the streets that entire day, inquiring in every single store and business I came across to see if they needed someone to do some work.
By the end of the day, just before I was damn near ready to give up, I walked into this little diner and said "I'm looking for work, and I am willing to do anything. Sweep floors, wash dishes, bus tables, but I do know how to waitress. Could you please hire me?" Well, guess what? I got lucky, and they did.
The rent was still a bit late, some bills went unpaid, but after a while, I finally got myself back on my feet. I decided then that I needed a better life plan, and worked hard on creating it. A few years later, after taking advantage of my talent for making clothing, I started my own clothing business, which I ran out of my apartment for 4 years. Towards the end of that, I began my career in fitness. I was getting fat sitting behind a sewing machine all day, and had started going to the gym to knock off some of those pounds!
It was there that my fitness career was born, and I have been on a roll ever since!
I know what it takes to succeed in life, and to still find some hope and optimism even in the worst of times. I'm a big fan of the "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" mentality. I know what it takes to take a concept and turn in into a reality. I know how to motivate myself to succeed.
I know that I can do that for others, too.
I love to help others harness that power within themselves and take it to the ultimate level. There's nothing to it but to do it! I've been there, done it, and I can show you how!
-self empowerment
-determination
-refusal to fail
-complete and total belief in myself
That is what fuels me. If you don't have it, I can show you how to get it!
I will come to your facility and discuss self empowerment strategies, how to dig yourself out of a hole, and how to take your dream and turn it into reality.
Also, how to focus and work on being the best you that you can possibly be!
I try to live up to my own high expectations every single day. I will fulfill all of my destinies, God willing, before I leave this planet. So can you!
My book, "Strong Body, Strong Mind" is a good blueprint for how this is done. I will also go over some of the techniques I discuss in my book, which is not just about weight loss, but about self empowerment, self determination and how to achieve that success!
--- I will speak for any group, large or small. My fee is negotiable, depending on the size of the audience.
