Last night was Melinda and my date night, and usually we go to a movie, so we decided to go see Mission Impossible: Ghost Recon. First of all, it was an excellent movie, but for some reason my mind started going in a hundred different directions (like it normally does) towards the end of the movie. There was a part in the end where one of the actors said that...

First of all, I have to apologize about not putting a new post up during the past few days, but things have been crazy hectic around here because of the launch of the new P90X2 program. For those of you who don’t know, P90X2 pre-order just started yesterday, and will be going on for the next 4 days. Anyways, P90X2 has absolutely nothing to do with the...

Most of you know I’m a firm believer in personal development books. In fact, I feel that everyone should spend at least 20 minutes reading a personal development book every single day. When I think about how far I’ve come in life in terms of success with my relationships, career, my health, one of the biggest factors in helping me get to this point...

Yesterday while holding my team call, I got on the subject of visualizing goals and the importance of doing so. What inspired me to talk about that was because earlier in the day I decided to create a new goal, to fill a stadium with Team Next Level (my Top Beachbody Coach team) coaches in 5 years. Will it be a tough goal? Of course, but if you know me, when I...

I believe that God has a plan for each and every one of us, and I don’t think that it’s just a mere coincidence that I was introduced to baseball at such a young age. Looking back, everything that I learned from baseball has allowed me to progress to where I’m currently at in life. For example, with me being a business owner, it would have...

Last night I was sitting outside talking to one of my best friends, letting him know how proud I was of him for really taking the steps necessary to change his life for the better. It’s been a long process, but what impresses me so much is that he has never stopped, even when things have gotten tough, especially in a time when Americans are accustomed to...

Last year I had an eye opening experience. I will never forget the moment at the Beachbody Coach’s Summit where they were recognizing all the top Beachbody coaches in the company on stage, and instead of being up there with them, I was sitting at the table eating dinner with Tommy Mygrant. Well, we were eating dinner until the point where shame and...

Yesterday was just one of those days that I had absolutely no desire to work out. I had worked on the computer all morning, and then decided to clean out my closet and drawers, which was no easy feat, and it ended up taking about 4 hours to do so. Melinda and I are both working on putting a ton of clothes together to donate to both Goodwill and for the tornado...

I was just recently asked, “What’s your favorite quote?” and after thinking about it for a while, I have to go with one from one of my favorite personal development authors, Jim Rohn. The quote is “If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree.” Those are some powerful words because every day I come...

When I was very young, one of the first things I remember my parents teaching me is to always think before you act. So many times people get so caught up in emotion that they completely forget about the thinking part, and just act immediately. Of course this isn’t the right way to approach it, because what ends up happening is people get hurt, and in the...

It’s been a while since I’ve written a motivational post, and I thought now is a great time to write one about taking action. How many of you said you were going to do something, and then ended up either forgetting about it or just thought that there was no way you could accomplish it, so you just gave it up? I would be a part of that group, and can...

People fascinate me. Every day I hear someone complaining about their life and how they wish they could do this and that, and how they are so tired of being out of shape and unhealthy, but have every single excuse in the book as to why nothing ever works out. It’s interesting. I was talking to a potential Beachbody coach the other day, telling him how my...

It takes a lot for me to get upset. The more I have succeeded in life, the more people want to try to tear me down. They will do whatever it takes to make themselves feel better about what they have accomplished in life, which usually is nothing if all they do is spend time making negative comments about others. However, no matter how hard people try, and...

I decided to write a post on resisting temptations because it’s one of the hardest trials that you’ll go through when trying to commit to a workout program. In fact, it just plain sucks. There’s really no other way to put it because it’s very tough to go from eating like crap every single day to eating 100% clean without cheating on your...

I figured now would be a good time to make a P90X motivation post because there are so many people who started their new fitness journey on Jan. 1, and now is about the time when they will start slacking on the diet, missing a workout here and there, and then finally get to the point where they go back to their old lifestyle. I’ve seen it happen hundreds...
