Sometimes it's not teaching the technique, Sometimes it's not teaching the program I asked a group once what the"product" we were selling was. They told me that they were coaches and not salespeople. I returned with, "No...when you have an idea or a concept that you want people to take on, you are definitely "Selling" […]

As Deebo would say, "Stop being a little bitch and c'mon!" When lifting heavy, there are times when you throw caution to the wind and you just have to get after it. At 66 years of age, I can come up with a lot of reasons not to add more weight to an already heavy […]

After 10 years in the private sector and 25 as a teacher, the time has come. I am officially retired! I'm 54 and the possibilities are endless.

Pain builds character, laugh at it. Instead of allowing pain to defeat you, use it as a personal growth and development catalyst.
