Health Industry Building

“We’re in the same building but we got different views.”

-Drake



                What is the goal for any Health Professional? It should be to provide the best care possible for their clients or patients. Therefore everyone in the health profession is in the same building. They are in  the building of getting results for costumers. However, everyone in this building is not on the same floor. They all have different views and opinions on what works best. In this blog I will describe three types of people in this building: Basement People, Balcony People and Elevators.

                Basement people are your rookies, freshman, and inexperienced folks. They are not bad at what they do, they just lack experience and sometimes education. We were all at this point when we started. It is important to note that you can also be a basement person at a certain topic even if you have tons of experience in the field. For example, I had been in fitness for over 10 years before I learned about Fascia. It took two years to get the information I have now on the subject. I went from a basement person on the topic to a Balcony person.  But it took time, hard work, and the help of an elevator.

                Balcony people are your “experts” , veterans, gurus, etc. They are the ones who have been doing it for years and have all the experience.  They have all the information that the basement people need. Sometimes they are willing to share their experience and other times they hide what they know in hopes they could make a profit by selling it. What they do is up to them, but the point is they are the ones with the info. You can also be a balcony person on a subject and also be a basement person on a different subject, all within the same industry. 

                The third type of person is an elevator. These are your coaches, teachers, mentors, etc. They are the ones who help to elevate others to new heights and knowledge. They may not be a guru at something but they are willing to teach others what they know. They are the leaders that help others go from basement to balcony. Elevators are also connectors because they help link the two levels of people together.

                We are all one of these types of people on any given day. No one type is better than the other. The important thing to know is that they all exist in all of us. It is up to you which type you want to be and if you want to change or remain there. The health industry is constantly changing and we have to continue to adapt to it. Today’s balcony bunch can be tomorrow’s basement crew. So recognize where you are at this point and decide where you want to be. 
Here is our youtube video discussing this topic. http://youtu.be/PtK71upXk78

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

Positive Attracts Positive

Ever hang around some negative people or in a negative environment? How did you feel during and after you had left? Did you feel drained of energy and just not happy about the situation you were currently in? Guess what.. your attitude, drive and passion effects others around you. If you create that positive energy and always surround yourself with positive, upbeat, driven people, you can only find more success in life. Being surrounded by my Flo Family along with everyone else such as Patrick Lerouge (www.revivetm.com) or Paul Newell (www.balancedwellness.org), I started to see my true potential and what I am truly capable of. They bring out the best in me because of their positive energy. They believe I can do it and push me to my limits. Even when I feel so uncomfortable with doing something, such as speaking in front of a group... they pushed me knowing that I could do it. I would have never seen myself get this far into my career without the Flo Family. I have learned so much, m

Are you brave enough for a COLD SHOWER?

Why I Take Cold Showers And You Should Too For the past three years I’ve taken a cold shower almost every single day. You might think I’m crazy and at first; trust me, at first I thought I was too. But hold your judgment, hear me out, give it a try and then you can thank me. What are the benefits of cold showers? 1.     Improve Mood A 2007 study looked at how cold showers affected people with depression. Here is what the authors of the study hypothesized: “Exposure to cold is known to activate the sympathetic nervous system and increase the blood level of beta-endorphin and noradrenaline and to increase synaptic release of noradrenaline in the brain as well. Additionally, due to the high density of cold receptors in the skin, a cold shower is expected to send an overwhelming amount of electrical impulses from peripheral nerve endings to the brain, which could result in an anti-depressive effect.” The study ended up finding that cold showers of 2-3 minutes helpe
