OK guys what follows is from a post from Dax Moy on what I want to happen in 2009 (original post here); it will be my business, life, health, fitness, everything as I believe in the holistic model I will focus on the whole
1. What Do You Want In 2009?
Get my backpain2leanframe site up finished,dusted and selling; ask Jamie to marry me as I feel our relationship is going in the right direction; to develop the possibility of opening a studio with a good friend of mine; to habitually live my EXCELLENCE daily in all areas of my life. I would also like to develop the financial freedom that will allow me to enjoy what i have so i can eventually spend more time being a dad as well as still coaching to as many people as possible; I’d also like to set up the foundations for my idea of producing a new instructor qualification that encompasses UK level 1-4 and possibly even up to degree level.
2. WHY Do You Want Those Things?
I have been a back pain sufferer my self, constantly waking up with a pain that never goes away and some days is beyond describable is agony; I want NO ONE to suffer that if they don’t have to, at the very least i will lay the possibility before them.Trust me it bleeping hurts, if i can spare 1 person that pain then so be it! Married, well i have finally found a lady that blew my word to dust, she has been one of the most wonderful, amazing, compassionate and honest people i have ever encountered. She does this not out of any agenda, just simply because that’s who she is. From those actions has emerged a new me, one who wants that lady as part of my life and at a fundamental level thinks that it would be a missed opportunity if i didn’t!
To open my own place with my friend Kyle is a simple one: who doesn’t want to be the master of their own destiny and to influence and change as many lives as possible, what better way but to do it with people who you know like and trust so you can then get people to know like and trust you. The coaching is simple, i think the industry can be a f**king shambles, no one acceptable standard, no one agreeable level, some trainers that are amazing, other that frankly it scares me… If we want to be taken seriously as a profession and as an industry then as Anthony Robbins says we need to raise our game, get the fundamentals sorted to one level, then we can worry about any add on’s.
3. What are you willing to do differently to achieve them?
Change how I think, change me beliefs around what I’m doing, even to a fundamental level change my identity around what I’m doing. I also need to accept a few things that I’ve screwed up in my past both professionally and personally, get over it, stuff happens, now I’m willing to focus on getting the job done. Like any good scientist my approach will be flexible, my result, without compromise.
4. What are you willing to give up?
Old beliefs, old identity, things that hold me back, procrastination, getting bored of not making decisions now. Old friends, hey things happen and sorry but negativity is like a black hole, it sucks the life out of you, I will do his in such a way that iit will not sacrifice my compassion. Rather than abandoning them i will instead become the light to inspire them..
Time, things take time to develop, I also prey that I’ll be wise enough to chose the activities that I fill my time with wisely..
5. Who have you shared your dreams with?
This has gone out on my blogs as well as everyone on here, all my friends, clients and work colleagues have been e-mailed the link asking them to comment, scary stuff!!!
6. What’s the reward for achieving them?
Time off with my friends and family, they get to see me and i get to see them, all the financial goals allow me to provide for myself, friends and my family, if i don’t spend time with them it defeats the object of what i do and why I do it! Plus a holiday round Australia would be nice too!
7. What’s the consequence for not achieving your goal?
Not changing or going forwards, letting the same BS attitude creep back into my life and becoming the same person I was a year ago. That [person did some horrible s**te and I DO NOT EVER want to become that again. back pedaling into that well of negativity is a no go; I’d rather die than do that! (yes I feel that strongly)
Also that impending feeling of doom or dread that will be less than i actually think and believe that i am. Sorry i am a good person and am looking to become an “instrument of change” in peoples lives, if i don’t at least do my best towards achieving this then that is true failure after all a great man once said “try or try not, do or do not, there is no try” Master Yoda to Luke Skywalker, now go and achieve!
Thanks for reading what has now become a rant rather than a comment, hope you’re all still with me.
