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.

Day 2 of our annual meeting with the OPS leadership team is done and in the books.

We even even pulled of jazz hands photo just for

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.

LFG

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!!

This little girl already has my heart!

I am going to do everything in my power to give this girl the world and be the best father I can be.

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.

Cindy is such an incredible client.

She and her husband have been with us for years now and they always bring a smile to my face...especially when I get to read their hilarious check-in posts!
