Share A Little Fun and a Little Serious Today I’m wearing my fitness-industry, gym-owner, personal-trainer, exercise-scientist and career-advisor hat. And my baggy-arse army shorts, a flannel shirt and some Tiger Balm. The following advice is a little bit tongue-in-cheek, a little bit oh-my-God-do-people-really-do-that? and a little bit constructive advice (from twenty-eight years of industry experience). [...]

Share What Matters? A close friend of mine has an elderly father who is on the home stretch of his time down here on the big blue ball. And while I don’t know him well, he’s been on my mind lately. I worry about him and his family. For the last few days, I’ve wondered [...]
Share Reality-Shaping Questions If we’re serious about changing our reality then we must be serious about asking the best reality-shaping questions. Better questions produce a better mindset, decisions, actions, reactions and overall, better results.

Share Life: A Series of Decisions Among other things, it seems to me that life is largely a series of decisions. Big and small. Important and not-so-important. Painful and painless. Personal and professional. Monumental and incidental. Necessary and optional. Informed and ignorant. Selfless and selfish. Courageous and cowardly. And so on. Yep, it’s impossible to [...]
Share Hi Guys. So, it seems that Wednesday’s ‘Tough-Love Truths’ post resonated with many of you and created a life of its own in cyberspace, with nearly two-hundred Facebook shares as I write. Here are a few more truths to wrap up our week… 1. Marriage is not a solution to a problem. Marriage is marriage. [...]
Share Ripped Off Have you ever arrived at a destination – literally or metaphorically – only to discover that it wasn’t what you thought it would be? It didn’t live up to your expectations?
