7/25/2023 My Shoulders Hurt All The Time
Because I'm noticing a constant "BURN" on both my shoulders I wonder if anyone else on my team does as well, so I am adding a few warm-up exercises based on some "therapy" gadgets I've seen recently. Holding the arms out to each side, do tiny arm circles from the shoulders (of course) both clockwise, […]
A tip in my Business eBook that I wish I had used
Location is crucial. As you often hear; location, location, location. The vast majority of your customers will come from within a five-mile radius.

7/24/2023 "Napalm Son. Nothing Else In The World Smells Like That...
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like VICTORY" ~ Col. William Kilgore Everyone knows that quote, but the clincher for me was when he turned to the young soldiers around him while he was in his squat position and then says remorsefully, "One day this war is going to end." […]

7/19/2023 We've Gotten Too Smart For Our Own Good
I was reading one of my favorite EliteFTS Coach's posts on the internet yesterday where he stated "The older I get the less I feel I know", and that triggered me into one of my unmedicated tirades. There seems to be an abundance of super mega-minded Exercise Specialists that can detail the fuck out of […]

Another back flare-up. What's new? Maybe, just maybe I can be smart enough not to blow it up.
7/14/2023 Your Impact On Others Is Bigger Than You Think.
Someone still laughs at the funny thing you might have said. Someone still smiles at the compliment you gave them. Someone quietly admires you and the way you get things done. That bit of advice you gave someone, changed their life. The support you offered made that person's day. Your opinion has made others think […]
