I’ve Been MIA for a long while – way MIA …

A combination of factors have led to longest period of neglect on Super-Trainer in history …

The fact that it’s Summer, I’ve got a ton of projects going on, and we’re in a period of transition on Super-Trainer, back to our DUMP THE GYM roots (you’ll see some changes on the blog soon).

Super-Trainer is always a fun project for me, not my primary business, so if you’re not hearing from here, you know I’ve probably got my hands tied …

But not this week, I’m down in Ft. Lauderdale getting some sun and just relaxing. Coming down to Florida was one of my favorite things to do back in my training days – I purposefully sought more freedom in my career so I could come down here even more frequently – that was one of my primary drivers …

Although back then it was Miami I would hit – I purposefully stayed away from Miami this time, so I could actually get some rest, and not have my inner party freak woken up by accident.

Getting R&R is one of the best things you can do for your career.  Just like with your body, growth happens during periods of recovery.  This is when you get to put things back in perspective, clarify what you want, and go back and tackle what you do with a brand new focus.

And something I’ve talked about a lot on this blog is how training isn’t your typical career. Your responsibilities are different, what you stand for is different, and how you live is different.

And that doesn’t involved being a follower, thinking only about money (although that’s very important), and having the same problems as everyone else.

As trainers we’re different people, doing important work, having our cake and eating it to, and headed someplace different.

This is always the way I’ve thought and what I’ve lived by, and being here at the beach has gotten me to focus and put things back in perspective again myself.

So look out for the changes very soon, and I’ll come back with more of the most effective real-world strategies in making money in fitness out there.   And I’ll look to bring you some pics from out here too.  Talk soon!
