My 4 Year Old’s Shaving Schedule and Quick Success
To find success quickly, it is easiest done by laying a firm foundation with the help of someone who has been where you are at. Disclaimer: My parents are in town today so this is going to be short and sweet I promise : ). To illustrate what I mean from the quote above, I'm going to tell a story about Axel, my four-year-old son. Since before Axel was born, I always shave in the morning. So, throughout his entire four-year-old existence, he has seen me get up, go to the bathroom, splash water on my face, get my shaving cream,...
My Baby Girl Got A Knot On Her Head ?
“I get knocked down…” This morning I was able to go on a walk inside the mall with my family. I normally don’t get to do this, because I am too busy making people awesome inside my studio : ). My wife goes to the mall 3- 5 times a week and walks. This is her way of staying fit and not going insane because of the kids. As I said, I was able to go with her. The plan was I would keep the children entertained. I won’t lie, I was doing a fantastic job of it too! I was chasing...
Change your “Self-Talk” to Transform Your Body.
As I sit outside writing this, my kids are using their "Self-Talk" to do great things. Axel is saying, "Axel is a good raker of leafs." Kenna is saying, "Axel! That is MINE! Mine leaf, mine job! Kenna's job!" Yes, they may be fighting but they have 100% confidence in their abilities : ). What about you? Is your Self-Talk confident, strong, and encouraging? There are three ways most people talk about themselves in regards to fat-loss. Their body - I will never have the body of my dream, I just don’t have the dedication required. Their food - I just...
Lessons We Should ALL Learn From The Grinch
At Least Three Lessons Over the weekend my family and I were at my mom and dad's, and we were blessed with opportunity to watch a renowned film and documentary called, “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.” As I watched this inspiring movie. I was ah struck and believe here are at least three things we should all learn from The Grinch who stole Christmas. Those three things are Passion, Drive, and Work Ethic. I have rarely, if ever seen an individual work so hard for a singular goal in my life. To say the Grinch has impacted my life, would be...
How 5 Minutes A Day Can Dramatically Help You Reach Your Goals
Visualization Before you shake your head and roll your eyes regarding visualization I want to let you know, that I too once was kind of a hater when it came to visualization. But I then began to look into who practiced visualization….Arnold Schwarzenegger, Oprah, Lindsey Vonn (Olympic Gold medalist), I could go on and on. All those people mentioned above use visualization and give visualization a lot of credit for the success that they've had. In and of itself, visualization is a simple yet powerful technique for growth and self-improvement. Now that being said, this isn't like some magic potion. It's not, you think...
My Best Successes Came On The Heels Of Failures – Barbara Corcoran
When I read that quote, so many stories come to mind. I'm sure a lot of stories come to your mind as well. On this Thanksgiving Day, I am thankful for what Jesus Christ has done for me. I'm also extremely grateful of the family he has provided me despite my many failures and efforts to try to make our lives “better” by “working.” He has saved us, from me :-). This is probably one area where I struggle the most, but I'm finally seeing some success in it. To truly know if I’m being successful you'd have to ask Beth, but...
The dream is becoming a reality…it only took 20 years : ).
Good Morning, I was going through old posts and I found this one. I won’t lie, I am still amazed it happened. If you continuously pursue your goal, it's crazy what can happen. Goals and continuous effort! When I think about where I began (Chapada Dos Guimaraes, Brazil) and where I am going (Opening a Private Personal Training Studio) I still can’t believe. If I could go back in time and tell my 13 year old self this was going to be a reality I would have said, “That is awesome, but there is no way that will happen.” But as...
