Friday

Friday today felt like at least a Saturday at the gym. So quiet when I had my clients. 

I haven't trained for a week and I feel pretty bad about it. I just can't seem to make myself do it. Yet I found myself admiring this girl last night being so focused and dedicated. I need to set up some real goals, and I'm actually thinking about signing up for a fitness competition. Not that I want to look like that all the time, but the amount of diciplin and dedication that's needed would probably do me good. I will have to have a think about it and look around first though. 

I'm just heading off meeting my band mates to go over a few graphic design things that we need for our BIG project. The sooner that can be done, be sooner I can start having a structured design for everything I have to market in my fitness business. 

pjuuh

I even forgot to send my last post away.... 

I took some time doing "nothing", speaking to Perea and having a few mini talks with Kay. I feel better, and I think I need to go to the gym to fully relax, but I will do a little bit of reading and focus on ONLY ONE thing for now. Tomorrow is a new day and I just got to keep on reminding myself it's for a good turn out AND I'm doing what I love = music and fitness. 

Oh life..

so much to do

I feel extremely busy, or unefficient at the moment. There are so many things I want to do in a day but I never feel that I get the chance to finish them all. I need to find a way to maximize my work.

I know it's all a bit messy at the moment because I'm trying to PROPERLY start up my business, implementing all the thing I'm still trying to learn and figure out from NPE, the marketing thing I invested in. It's helpful, but it's overwhelming at the same time.

And then with Arkestry... practice, writing and even trying to be creative. It doesn't seem to want to come out at the moment. And we have another project we're trying to develope and I just can't seem to cope with everything at once.

I don't know the last time I spent my evening / day off just chilling watching a film, an episode of something, or even a proper skype call home.

Today I managed to put in two loads of washing, call up HMRC for a tax letter, call our agency because a window handle came off (long time ago), pracitse vocals, chase down information from NPE so I can move forward with the process.

post DAM

Amsterdam was amazing! Such a nice and unique city, and the weather was great! I tried some space cake, but nothing major happened to me. Others got pretty high on the other hand... 

I'm picking up with clients again, yesterday I had 5, today 4 and still good for the rest of the week. I can't book much in this week anyways and we are recording demos for the EP with Arkestry. I'm so excited, and today I am off from now until 6pm, so loads of practicing is gonna be done! 

So yes... until next time.

böaze

The end of this week has been quite intense, but I guess that's good. I want to be busy. 

Tomorrow I'm going to Amsterdam with K, and some of his family and friends. I'm excited, but I'm tired as well. And we have so much to do with the band and going away is not making it any easier. But oh well. Just work harder when I come back. 

I need a proper holiday so the sun soon, but for now Amsterdam will do!

stress....

I went to Notting Hill for a writing sessions with my band. This amazing HUGHE house that Perea is dog sitting in... 

Oh well... I was so hungry on my way back that I didn't know what to do. Perea was cooking ribs, and of course in the end there was no time to eat before I had to rush back to the gym and teach Metafit. On the way the carrige got really packed, and then these two women walked on and ate Mc Donalds, litterally 10 cm from my face. I was about to die. 

And today I logged onto my internet bank to pay rent and my bills and check my balance. I just realise I don't even have enough money to pay the bills. The funny part is that I have about 17 clients, and I'm as broke as I've every been before.... something isn't right. 

I think and pray I get paid by one client tomorrow, because I know my phone bill is due in a couple of days as well... oh and I*m going Amsterdam next weekend. eeeeeeeh? Maybe I'll work on Redlight Distict for a night?

thursday eve!

Hey everyone.. 

It's been a quite long day, and it's soon over. I'm feeling quite tired at the moment, and I'm not even that busy at work. 

The new system hasn't really kicked in yet and I'm sitting here trying to write a marketing campaign for when I go to the new gym next week. Still a lot to learn. But I promise myself that I will have it done by Sunday eve! 

Other that that.... training is going well. I feel pretty strong and motivated to hit it in the gym. I'm on a program, which only gives me one day off, and I will follow this through these 4 weeks that it's on! I'm also trying to eat more like a cave man. Boring as fuck, but you get used to it. 

work

Sitting in the reception feeling pretty happy. 

The last 2-3 months has been pretty stressful at work with having loads of clients but no one is training - which means I just don't get paid. But I have put on a new system that should by next month be completely in action and I should get to stress less about "the money issue". 

But I was just sitting here reminising about reasons to be happy, instead of focusing on "bad" things. And I refuse to be that person that is happy WITH money and unhappy WITHOUT money. Obviously, there is a line. But as long as I have enough money to pay rent and eat food I will be happy. Everything extra is just extra.

On that note, I am still very exciting to start working at another gym next week. New people, new area and a place to REALLY get started with this new system and just go out of my comfort zone!

studying..

I just passed level 1 with NPE. It wasn't that hard, but I know that I need to keep practicing the scripts, so that I become a great sales person without having to think. 

So I'm looking forward to go on with level 2, but for today I'm giving myself a break. 


I was gonna say I am off for the rest of the day, but I just realised that would be a lie. I have to teach MetaFit at the gym and then I have one client. 

This past month has been really shit for me, but after implementing the new system I have a feeling there will be no more stressful months for me. And by starting at another gym next week I'm hoping that it will go even better. Time will tell. 

Cold and Work

I have a freaking cold. I can't breathe through my nose and my head fills full of nastyness. On top of that I have a toot ache that keeps coming back. Had it checked about 3 weeks ago and everything was fine.. 

Today I went to the GP to take a blood sample to see what's up with my enlarged lymph notes. Thought that could be good, since they are ALWAYS kind of big, so when then swell up they are gigantic. 

And tomorrow I'm going to the hospital to do another blood test (I think). Apparently I might have a mutation in a gene. Sounds pretty cool, but yeah.. More about that tomorrow. 

As for the past hour... I'm trying to compose a professional letter that I will send out to my current clients. I have a new sales system with new terms and conditions, and basically... I am gonna get rid of all te people that doesn't take the personal training serious. I know it might sound stupid, because that means that I may have no clients by next week. But I honestly feel that I'm raping my own believes and what I stand for by keep playing around with the people that buys session but keeps on cancelling or postponing all the time. I just don't get it? You say you want to get fitter and healthier, but you don't want to follow the program on a regular basis? 

Oh yeah.... I'm starting working in another gym from next Wednesday as well. New system and everything will be solid by then. So I can focus on the people that doesn't fuck about from the start! 

Anyways... I'm knackered. Late nights and early mornings every day this week. So I'm gonna try finish this letter so that I can send it out tomorrow!
