Back in December I wrote an email and blog post entitled “Milestone “about turning 30. In the post I reflected on the last 10 years of my life and how small simple decisions have lead me to where I am today. I received a lot of great feedback from that post and I would love to share with you another small decision that when I look back, changed everything.

One decision that has made an incredible impact on my life was hiring a business coach. Over three years ago now, I hired Debbie Cohen to help me get my sports training business off the ground and balance the work I was already doing with the health club. What I thought would be working on prioritization and having someone to be accountable to, quickly turned into a whole lot more about me personally.

Early on in the coaching Debbie recommended that I come down to Tampa to do a course. She didn’t really tell me much about it other than it would help me understand more about what we were trying to do. So I went.

The experience was amazing! Looking back now, this course created a huge shift in my life. Up until that point I had personal barriers holding me back. I had adopted belief systems that felt comfortable, but did not serve me and who I wanted to be.

I wanted to be a great leader and coach, but my nervousness and lack of confidence kept me playing small and not doing what I was meant to do.

I wanted to be successful, but all I did was work myself to the bone. This pretty much guaranteed that I would be spinning my wheels. I was putting my job first and not taking care of myself.

I wanted a great relationship, but my viewpoint was clouded by what I experienced growing up. My parents are divorced so I believed on a subconscious level that “relationships don’t work.

After the course, things started to happen.

Circumstances in my life began to change.

Out of nowhere, I stopped biting my nails. This may sound like a small thing but this was a habit I had for as long as I can remember! Along with the habit, I also lost that small anxious feeling that was constantly running in the background every day of my life.

I began to see changes in the way people responded to me at work, as well as being able to do things like write this newsletter, create those exercise video posts, and speak in front of large groups. Ultimately, be who I am and share what I want to share with the world. I would have never done these things!

I began to have more balance in my life which has helped me to be able to go out and enjoy activities without having to worry that I am not working. I stopped identifying myself by my job and started experiencing new things that at the time were completely out of the box for me.

And as far as relationships go, I have been in an amazing one with my girlfriend Lindsey for almost a year now. It has helped me to grow so much, and has shown me what relationships are really about. Believe me, I had no clue!

Things are not always perfect, but I will always stay committed to growth, to stay on the edge of where I want to go, and fulfill my impact on the world.

This is exciting for me. It makes me want to get out of bed in the morning and helps me to enjoy every moment of my day. And I owe all this to the course.

I believe so strongly in this program that I wanted to share this experience with our community. So what I did was speak with Mel, who is the co-creator of the course, about coming up to Long Island. Today, I am excited to announce that we will be hosting a course here at All 4 Sports and Fitness on March 20th just like the one I experienced down in Florida.

If you have been reading my newsletters or taking one of our programs you know that I am a big believer in the importance of mindset and how it relates to fitness and sports.

I could design you the best fitness and nutrition program in the world but without shifting your thinking, it will be near impossible for you to sustain any kind of long term result.

Ask yourself…

If you were to do a self improvement course like this one, what would you want to get out of it?

Would you like to improve:

• Your health?
• Your relationship with your family?
• Your marriage?
• Your relationship with your kids?
• Your work?
• Your financial situation?
• Anything you would like to change?

Thinking back to all the things I have done over the years, this one program tops them all and I am so happy and honored to be able to have it here to share with our community.

If you are interested in participating and would like more information, please contact me for more details.
