Are You Just Busy Or Actually Productive?

Are You Just Busy Or Actually Productive?

A woman is sitting at a table with two children and talking on a cell phone.

10 years ago I won a special business coaching weekend down in Orlando, Florida.


I had the privilege of being one of four people who got to work with some top business coaches on how to grow my personal training business.


One of the assignments before the weekend was to do a thorough presentation of my business.


We had to bare it all.


Our marketing, our systems, our customer service plan....EVERYTHING.


I thought mine was pretty well done and felt confident going before the coaches who would then critique my business.


I remember laying out my presentation explaining everything in great detail. 


Upon completion, the owner of the coaching company told me "you are really busy but not productive. That's why your business is not growing."


Ouch! It was like a slap to the face when he basically told me my current plan was worthless.


However, when the sting settled I realized he was right.


I was filling time with activities that were producing NO RESULTS. 


It was the wake up call I needed to start looking at how I was spending my time and where I was placing my effort.


BUSY is the enemy of progress.


Every week people reach out expressing interest in improving their health and fitness. But when I try to get them in, they are "too busy." 


I wonder if all that "busy" is really productive stuff or if it's mostly meaningless "to dos" that don't fulfill passions and dreams.


Considering the state of emotional, physical and mental health in this country, I'm guessing it's meaningless tasks.


Will this be the year you finally breakthrough and start putting time into things that really matter?


Or will it be another year of hoping for a breakthrough that never comes because once again "you're too busy?"


I can help.


My plans fit your lifestyle and get results guaranteed without spending countless hours in the gym.


Let's work together to make 2023 your breakthrough year.

Dedicated to your 2023 breakthrough,

A group of people are running a marathon on a city street.

Yesterday was the 40th running of the Twin Cities Marathon - The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America! If you are like me, you stop everything to take it all in. Marathon Day is one of my favorite days of the year! A happy place! So much goodness packed into one perfect fall day! And yesterday was no exception! 34 years ago my friend and I were curious. What is the marathon anyway? It was hard to visualize people running 26.2 miles from the Metrodome in Minneapolis to the Capitol in St. Paul. So without the assistance of Google maps, runner tracking apps or cell phones, we headed to St. Paul to "find the marathon." We rolled down our windows, drove up the Snelling Avenue hill and listened for people cheering. Sure enough we found it!

This is a sign that hung in my college football weight room. It meant a lot to me. It's what motivated me to put in extra work and ultimately become a scholarship athlete and starting offensive guard on the football team. It wasn't always like that though. My life could have been drastically different - and not for the better.
