If I Had A Million Dollars…

Ok…I’m sorry…yes I just had to make the post title the name of Barenaked Ladies song. It’s in my head because we recently played that song in church as an opener. Wait that sounds weird…Barenaked Ladies in church? Let me explain…we run through different series on different topics and one was on money and…well…you get […]

A Faith Section?

As you can probably guess, I’m really excited about the new site. It’s been a long time coming (gosh if you only knew!!!). What I love about it though is that with the new format, I no longer feel limited to just talking about bodybuilding, training, and nutrition. The chains have been released! I know…Ut oh!  I absolutely […]

Self-Employed or Self-Enslaved?

A lot of people, after consulting with their vision and doing the schedule exercise, conclude that they just can’t work a normal 40-plus-hour workweek and still live the ideal life they desire.

That may seem like a bold statement, but it’s 1000% true. Yes…1000%! Let me tell you how I discovered this undeniable and under-appreciated truth… By word of mouth, my coaching services have exploded off the charts. I’ve been very blessed. I’m actually having to turn people down because I’m overloaded. This isn’t a complaint – […]

Excuses vs. Priorities

So which one is the reason why I haven’t posted on this blog as regularly as I’ve wanted to? Honestly it’s probably a bit of both…hmm…wait…is that just an excuse? (Yes that’s my split personality talking back to me again. Shush brain. 😉 To make sure we’re on the same page, let’s first define what the difference […]

Contest Presentation Like The Pros!

Not judging others is a great rule to follow for everyday life…but it would probably make bodybuilding shows (as well as figure, fitness, bikini, women’s physique, and of course…men’s physique) contests pretty boring, confusing, and…well…pointless! As a competitor, you WILL be judged – that’s the whole idea. That’s what most of us are there for […]
