Mediocrity is the Newest Profanity

 

Mediocrity:

Averageness: Ordinariness as a consequence

of being average and not outstanding

Second-rater: A person of second-rate ability

or value.        

                                              

A woman said to me today, “Mediocrity

should be a cuss word.”  I do not know

this woman very well but at that moment

I knew that she was someone I wanted

to be around.  Birds of a feather flock together.  

I want to constantly surround myself with

people that will challenge me and make me better.  

 

Along with surrounding myself with people that 

make me better, I want to be someone that makes 

others better as well.  I want to touch the lives of 

every person that I come across. 

 

My job involves encouraging people and helping

them realize how great they are.  I hope to help 

others see how far they can truly go, how high they 

can truly reach.  To assist them in finding that level 

above just average.  We all have such potential to be 

something great.  

 

Surround yourself with people that desire to be more 

than just average.  Come hang out at our gym and you 

will find those people.  We strive to be better than just

good enough!!!  We strive to be great and to live above 

mediocrity.

You Can’t Miss the Red Doors

It almost brings tears to my eyes when I sit back and think about the last 4 days.  I have a new gym that is ready to be opened I have four days to do it, and I own the business alone.  The most amazing thing happened; peopel came out of the woodwork to come out and help.  I worked at least 14 hours everyday and I was never in the gym alone for more than three hours total.  There were always people there lending a hand.  At one time there were 11 people there helping out.  It was truly amazing.  For those of you that helped thank you from the absolute bottom of my heart.  I couldn’t have done it without you.  If I can ever help you out please just ask.

I learned a very big thing this week, delegation.  I have always known what it was, but I never thought I could do it.  I felt bad if I ever asked for help or didn’t have my hand in everything.  YES I know I’m a control freak but this week taught me to trust everyone around me.  It was hard to be the one that everyone needed but I would just say yes, or no or give some directions or even ask for help.  I would have opened on Monday but CFA would look nothing like it does now.  So many people poured their time and sweat into this place and I again thank you so much.  I learned alot this last week and I am so greatful. 

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!  I love you all!!!

DON’T SET BIG GOALS…SET CRAZY BIG GOALS!!!

Success is simple

We just need to do a few simple things…Consistently 

Law of Certainty:

If you do certain things a certain way, certain things will happen in a certain way

You Matter….

I had the privilege of listening to billionaire Bill Bartmann speak last night.  He was a pretty amazing speaker and with the way he started off this seminar, I cannot wait to see what lies ahead in the week to come.  He spoke about how to be successful and it was pretty simple and I’m just going to share a teenie bit about what he shared….

DON GUY AND HIS FIRST DAY AT CFA, DOING AN RX’D RUNNING FRAN.

The only opinion of you that matters is YOU.  So whether you are a success or sometimes you fail, which we all do at some point; do not be awed by the success, but never also never be intimidated by the failure.  Bounce back and learn from it.  

I miss you guys but I will be coming back better than when I left!!!

Takin’ care of you!!!

We gotta make sure guys that we are working hard in the gym. This does not just mean moving through efficient ranges of motion with high intensity. We need to make sure we are taking care of our bodies from a therapeutic end.

We go hard everyday and yes we get stronger but our body still needs tough love and care. This means getting on the rollers before the workouts, getting on the rubber band and tennis balls. When we work like we do we create adhesions and places that need attention. We need to make sure we are getting “good” stretches in after WOD’s. If you take care of your body it will take care of you.
