Time for the last leg of the journey…

Here we go….just got done with some Amazing Praise & Worship & Sermon at the local downtown coffee house in Wichita, Kansas:) http://www.meadscorner.com/meads Been an AWESOME week of reflection and checking of my motivations and my Heart to see what is at the core of me and my reasoning in doing what I am doing. I got to have some time where I was stripped of all my “normal” activities, which apparently aren’t that normal after all…haha! But seriously I got to have some great gut-check time and some time to really dig into what I am doing here. For those of you that don’t know my background this is my second business related to Fitness. I opened up a 1,200 square foot personal training studio in the heart of Seattle, Washington about 6 six years ago. It was called “Animal Fitness Systems” and it was a Blast and it did Awesome for about 2 years. It ultimately failed due to a combination of my laziness/inept at business and the economy in 2009 in the Northwest (which was straight horrible!) I started that company with a dream, credit cards, and some of the best friends/clients/AFS ButtKickers a person could be Blessed with. It was the Best learning experience for “how to start and fail” at a new business….hahaha! It was a whirlwind, I tell you that much:) I got to train and get to know some of the most Amazing people on this planet and got paid to do it so I was one happy Animal:) I write this b/c I want people to know that I am familiar with the ups and downs of business and the pro’s and con’s of what I am doing right now. This week has been one of those “gut-check” times where I sat back and really really reevaluated what I was doing and ultimately if I was ready to do this crazy entrepreneurship thing again! I will detail later in this Blog how and why I literally have no choice but to do what I am doing…NOT to be confused with “I am doing this b/c I don’t want to” BUT the truth is that I am doing this b/c it is literally in my blood/DNA and my Calling in this life is to “go forth and create” something from nothing:)!!! I just happen to like fighting and intense exercise/sport so here I go… I want to Thank everyone sooooooooo much for Helping & Supporting me on this path b/c without you I would not be able to do any of this! You know who you are out there:) Please feel free to comment on this Blog and also tell a friend about what I am doing here so we can get more peps on board this crazy thing called “American Entrepreneurship”….Thanks Again!!!
