Wishing a Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife.

There is no one more important in your life than your partner or spouse.

They are your rock.
They are your support.
They are your advocate.
They are your friend.

There is nothing that will determine the success or failure of your life more than this person.

And I can without a doubt say that I would not be able to do what I do or make my way through life without her.

She is the best mother and wife I could ask for.

Thanks for being amazing baby.

Hopefully Santa got our letter asking for razors this year 🤞Merry Christmas from the Kotkas crew!🎄🎅

What people think running a fitness business is like VS. What is it actually.

This is also the reason why I think most people should NOT start their own companies.

How many small business owners and entrepreneurs do you know that started a business simply because they LOVE what they do.

We see and hear about this all the time....

The personal trainer that wants to start their own gym.

The baker who wants to open up their own bakery.

The plumber who wants to launch a large scale plumbing enterprise.

Usually only to hear that they hate their new jobs.

Why?

Because the skill that you loved is not the same as running a business.

Those are completely different skills and passions.

It's like telling a hairdresser to go to IT work.

The truth is, running a business is often much different then you think.

No longer are you just a trainer, plumber, hairdresser, or baker.

Now you are a marketer, sales person, financial analysts, manager, HR professional and so much more.

I am not saying don't do it. But make sure you are doing it because BUSINESS excites you, not the thing the business is made to produce or deliver.

Your team is your company and I couldn't ask for a better group of leaders to be on this mission with!!

I know this team is going to do big things in the years to come.

I couldn't be more grateful for each of them.

Now time to execute.

Most people use December as an excuse to coast into the New Year, where then, they try to utilize new years resolutions to motivate them into action.

If you want to be successful, there are no times of "coasting".

There is only go and go harder.

And for me, when the majority of other people slow down, that is when I try to speed up.

As Ed Mylett says, it's separation season.

Let's go!!

The most recent easing of restrictions was a small win for our industry.

It shows us that the government is starting to hear the people's plea that fitness is a major factor in improving and maintaining good mental and physical health

Unfortunately, the new regulations do not help the majority of Albertans or fitness studios.

We can help people and stop the spread of Covid.

It does not need to be an either or discussion.

If you feel like you are hanging on by a thread, I feel you!

But I am here to tell you that you can do it.
You can get through it.
We can get through it!

There will be days where you feel like the thread turns into heavy chains that are dragging you down into the deep black abyss.

Sink your feet in.
Grab those chains.
And battle back.

The battle won't be easy.
But it will be worth it.

You have a lot to fight for.

You don't have control over every aspect of your life, but you do have control over who you surround yourself with!

In fact, one of the biggest predictors of your life is the 5 people you spend the most time with.

Think about it even in your own life....

I know for me, when I used to hang around people who partied more, drank more, at more crap....I did more of those things too.

If the people that you surround yourself with are not lifting you up, encouraging you, believing in you, and helping you, why are you spending time with them?

Hell, this may even be family members!!

So, you have 2 options:

1. Eliminate them from your life

This does not mean you need to go send them a text and say, "I am sorry but you are no good for me. You do nothing but bring me down so I am going to have to eliminate you from my social sphere. This will be the end, goodbye"

No, just stopping texting them.
When they reach out to you and say, let's go for a drink, respond with "sorry I can't tonight"

After doing that a few times, you will be amazed at how quickly they stopping texting you. (probably another good indicator they are not in the relationship for you).

2. Modify the relationship

We don't necessarily want to just cut everyone from our lives...especially if the people bringing us down is our own family.

But that also doesn't mean that we have to accept defeat and tolerate them tearing us apart.

Instead, control the situation more.

If you have a friend that always wants you to go out drinking. Instead, invite them to go for coffee.

If you have a father that always belittles you when it is just the 2 of you, then only get together at big family functions or go for dinner at a public restaurant.

YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO CUT PEOPLE FROM YOUR LIFE.

IT IS YOUR LIFE!

STOPPING LIVING IT BY OTHER PEOPLES STANDARDS.

It is human nature to identify our problems!

In fact, in my opinion, we are TOO good at it.

But, if you want to see success, you need to become good at identifying solutions.

You need to get "I CANT" out of your vocabulary.

Replace it with "How can I?"

I am not naive enough to believe that "anything is possible". You cannot magically grow a foot, lose 100lbs in a month, or build a trillion-dollar business in a year without any work.

But, if you start to ask the right questions, you can start to come up with an action plan.

Rather than saying, "I can't work out because my gym is closed", ask yourself how can I?

Rather than saying "I cannot eat that many calories in a day", ask yourself how can I?

Rather than saying "I don't have time to workout", ask yourself how can I?

Rather than saying "I can't afford that", ask yourself how can I?

Rather than saying.....FILL IN THE BLANK....ask yourself HOW CAN I!

ONE CHANGE IN THOUGHT might just mean a COMPLETE CHANGE OF SITUATION.
