Welcome :)

It never hit me that I would have to sit down and really think about where I want my career headed; I mean I know the answer to this but a couple of days ago an obstacle stood in my way -- sadly, this isn't an easy obstacle to overcome. I made this website in hopes my clients & the surrounding community would read my blogs, listen to my podcast (when they get posted), start my online business in hopes I would make it great by next year, etc. The overall goal was to have this be my new upcoming way of saying "I can do this, I can be successful in this profession with hard work and dedication" -- thus far, I haven't taken charge of this site the way I had hoped and I haven't marketed myself the way I had hoped, so I haven't been a good host to many of you. I suppose video games and laziness has gotten in the way of my goals and my drive has been slow. Now, I have taken more of a notice and I want to do something about it, because before too long, I will be 27 & I want to say I am a little further than I was at age 26. I don't want to be complacent anymore, I have said this many times over but still have done nothing about it -- well today I will. Before I can go any further with this website, the owner of the gym I work at told me, I will soon have to sign a "non compete" form -- which means I can't work at another fitness facility, can't have my own personal training business, and can't any way make my job secondary, it is not the primary; whom I represent and work for. I would say on one hand, I am excited but on the other hand, it will hinder me for sure with wanting to be my own contractor in the fitness industry and that's a hard pill to swallow. I love my job at the gym, although it could be better if I actually got along with my club director but besides that minor ache, I love my job, but I also want to flourish and do BIGGER THINGS! do things I dreamed about and things that are meaningful to me. I have yet to sign this form, but I know it will come soon, and I have to sit down and think this over, because if I don't sign, could mean my job. I am pretty sure other gyms would have me sign this as well, but sadly, box gyms I will never make an income worthy of what I want as far as success, but by eventually having my own business, the income and advantages can be awesome. I know it will come down to what is more important RIGHT now, but I wish I could have it my way, LOL.
On the positive side of things, I still plan on blogging, creating my own podcast, Q&A's ect, because those are outlets that allow me to meet and network and share with the world & community alike. If they become a valuable income, that is a bonus. So from today going forward my planner that has website listed as to-do will be taken more seriously & I will put forth a better effort in making this website one that I can be proud of. This post of course was a rant, but mostly an update on possible changes that could happen from this non compete form -- when it comes time to sign it, I hope I make a good decision either way.
