A New Mantra For Toyota, and a lesson about Your Personal Brand

Toyota’s in big trouble – no doubt about it! I read an article in The New York Times over the weekend that went into detail about why they’re in so much trouble and what they will need to do about it.

Fitness Career Growth Does Not Come from Being Passive…

I had an employee barge into my studio this past Tuesday morning and quit.  He walked right in, placed some training materials and his key on my reception desk and said, “I’m done.”  “That’s it?”  I said.  “You have clients in your schedule this evening.”  “Did you get my email?”  He asked.  As if this [...]

It’s YOU!

meet the demands of clearing 18 inches of snow
from my grounds as quickly and efficiently as
possible.
If you’ve never had the chance to experience 18

YOU Are The CEO of YOUR Life…

There is a long list right now of projects I’ve

fact that it’s Sunday evening and there’s just no

One of those projects is my new fitness blog

YOU are The Brand…

YOU are The Brand
Over the weekend, my son Carl pulled out an old briefcase that contained a very special certificate.  He didn’t know what he was looking at until I informed him, and when I did you should have seen the look on his face.

How My Fitness Blog Saved the Day…

It’s Friday again (already), and while usually I’d be in preparation for my usual TV segment, that is not the case today.
Why?
Well, for starters it was almost canceled.  Luckily my blog saved the day and we will re-start on December 11th.

This is Gonna Be Fun – Check it out…

I actually drafted this blog post late on Monday night…
It’s time for bed and I have a very busy day with clients
all day tomorrow. So, I’m just taking a quick moment
