Across the country, businesses are struggling to get people back to work. The will to work is weak! It can’t be taught in schools, and it most certainly can’t be trained on the job. No, the will to work is born in us and fostered by our parents. We are paying the price for a […]
Sorry to Interrupt…
Avoid Codependent Coaches
As a personal trainer, I have always prided myself on saying goodbye to clients. When I’ve done my job right, they are empowered to live a healthy lifestyle on their own.

Not only does this destroy morale, but […]
