What is my business & why do I have it? After years of wrestling with this, I may have clarity: 1. To steward the gifts God gave me through coaching 2. To generate income to help support God's people – my family & tithing 3. To use the gym as a platform to point people toward God

Kevin James fasted for 40 days straight for his daughter. She was on the spectrum, struggling badly with tics and sleep. Nothing was working. So he made a commitment: pray and fast. One day at a time. He was ready to quit multiple times, hungry, doubting, over it. Then one morning he knocked on her door and she said she finally slept well. He kept going. The prayers got answered, just not on his timeline. Raw, real, and a little “jokey” in how God works sometimes. Sometimes the breakthrough comes the exact day you’re about to stop pushing.

This experiment is the best reminder that most of what we worry about never actually happens.

Why should business owners make more money than their employees? A friend of mine pointed something blatantly obvious to me that I honestly never considered. As a (Small) business owner, I sometimes feel guilty that I make more money than my employees. My friend told me that I deserve it because I take on risk. And I've heard that before but it actually never resonated with me until he put it this way. "It takes balls to do what you did. They don't have the balls to start something up like you did." "You put down the money to start it, jumped through the hoops, and pulled the f***ing trigger when 99% of people don't have the balls to do it." When my landlord was looking for new tenants in our building i was helping him filter people out. And he made a comment that also works here about one possible tenant that I was pretty high on. "Some people like the idea of starting a business. They will do all the due diligence, all the bs, but when it's time to pull the trigger, they just delay delay delay." And that's just it. They don't have the balls. I got rewarded for having the balls to pull the trigger on taking risk. Most of us are terrified to do that. For whatever reason I wasn't. And because of that, I get rewarded. If one trainer gets sued, I get sued, if a trainer makes less money, I make less money, if a trainer leaves, i'm still stuck with the bills, when they leave the gym they can go home and think about nothing and I still have to think about everything. It takes balls to invest all your money and headspace into a project. And the truth is, most people aren't willing to do it - which is totally fine. And I recommend that to most people. It takes a certain personality to be able to deal with that, and that's why there are more employees than business owners. It's not for everyone.

“Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.” Philippians 2:14-16 ESV bible.com/bible/59/php.2.14-…

Where in your life are you cultivating, investing in, and experiencing God's word, God's people and God's presence—privately and corporately?

"We need to be reminded more than we need to be taught"

During the start, the eyes should point wherever the sternum points. Head posture in any other position is inefficient.

Don't Cue "look down" during the start for team sport athletes - especially football. It's insane. If you get them in that habit, they will get murdered on the field.
