Essential #4
Leading with Attention

This to me is the hardest part of business. This is ALL the details of the business. This is the numbers, profit, income statement, etc. This is where most business owners FAIL. I personally have hired a business coach to get me on track with this part of my business. Many people open a business because they have a passion for something. They do it out of love, but this does not always conquer all. If you want to lead people they must have a path to follow. If the path is just filled with love and passion they may not be able to follow. You need to give them some kind of detailed direction on where to go and which steps to take to get there. I personally have done a poor job in leading my people with details. I have guided with passion and love but have missed the detail boat. Because of this my business has not grown to where it can go. I recognize this and understand that if we are to grow we must map out our path. Once the process is mapped out we can then help others to follow our path to success. That is the ultimate goal. Map out a plan for others so that they to can enjoy success as well.

Taking the NEXT STEP

Taking the NEXT STEP!! Im sure we have all reached a point in our lives where we know its time to take that next step, next level, begin the next chapter in our life. It is by far one of the scariest times for all of us. The point where we realize everything we have ever done has led us to THIS! This is our moment to shine and like Eminem says, " You only get one shot, do not miss your chance blow. Opportunity comes once in a life.". The one scary thing is, you know after THIS moment, nothing will ever be the same. Once you cross THIS line, you can not go back. THIS is it and the pressure is on. They say, "Pressure bust pipes, but It can also make diamonds.", only you can decide what it does to you. We all get to THIS moment, but few rise to the occasion. Few feel the fear and keep walking forward. You can either step into greatness or step back into comfort. Many will choose to step down and let THIS moment pass them by. Once they do that, the rest of t...

Quad & Hip Flexor Mobility & Flexibility

Why is it important to include mobility work for the quads and hip flexors? Tight muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg can cause a number of problems, two of which I will discuss in this blog. 1. Tight quadriceps and hip flexors can put you at an increased risk for a hamstring injury. When people say that a muscle is “tight,” they are essentially saying that the muscle is chronically shortened. Without getting too much into the anatomical specifics, when the hip flexors are “tight,” or shortened, they pull on the lumbar spine. This pull on the lumbar spine increases the curve of the lumbar spine (excessive lordosis) and in turn causes an anterior pelvic tilt. When the pelvis tilts anteriorly, the hamstrings (attached to the ischial tuberosity) can become excessively stretched/lengthened, which can lead to a strain. Therefore, by keeping the hip flexors and quadriceps at proper length, we can keep our ...
