Share Hi Everyone. Sorry I’ve been a little absent this week. It’s been a busy one and I haven’t found myself near the keyboard too often. How dare life get in the way of my blog and our relationship… Getting the Job Done Are you one of those people with a history of ‘almost’ doing [...]

Share A New Direction Hi Team, as I promised in my first post for the year, 2010 at me-dot-com will see the introduction of some different types of articles. Today’s post is the first ever article (published on this site) written specifically for Personal Trainers (PTs), PT students, PT managers, centre managers and health club [...]
Share Happy Teaching Day Groovers! As usual here at me-dot-com, Thursday is the day of the week when I pass the teaching reins to you. It’s the day when I sit at the back of our cyber class room – cheesecake in hand, Ugg boots on feet – and hand over my white board, my special markers, my flip [...]
Share *Before today’s post….. geeeeeze you guys, our forum’s goin’ off like a frog in a sock! You all rock. It’s still early days but it looks like it might just turn into something of cyber-communal (made that up) value. Nice. If you haven’t checked it out yet, take a peek here. And for future [...]

It was a massive affair(!) …I was doing a lecture to twelve students who were completing their fitness instructor accreditation.I had to talk for one hour.I spent two weeks preparing.Every day for those two weeks I wrote notes, re-wrote notes, planned, visualised, rehearsed [...]
Share *Before we get started….. I was hesitant to write this article the way I have because I know that some people may mis-interpret my intentions … so I will clarify them before we begin so there is no mis-understanding. My reason for writing about parts of my professional journey is not to impress you, [...]
Share Following on from Part One, here’s part two……. 21. Don’t be short-sighted. Be less concerned with ‘how much money you make to today’ and more concerned with the business you’re growing to support you in the long-term. Next month I’m opening the doors of my first kid’s gym.
