As I sit here and map out the "goals" of our brand, I pause to reflect on what a powerful concept it is to empower someone.  

There is no better way to lift others up than to empower them to take action towards those things that bring them the most joy.

We are extremely excited as we continue to shape the direction of our future through what we believe in as a brand and how we plan to continue serving you.

Our hope is that we are able to empower you in some way to take action towards your goals and dreams.  That is the impact in our mission to directly impact 100,000 people and countless others as a result.

You’ve had a long day at work, come home, do the nightly routine thing, and it’s time to decide what to do next.  It’s 8:30 and you’ve finally got some time to yourself. 

You decide to get a few things done for work the next day and at 9:00 you’re feeling tired.  Your body is telling you it’s time to go to sleep for the night. 

At this moment, you’ve got two choices.  One, you can listen to your body and begin your pre bedtime routine.  Two, you can push through the yawning, trying to keep your eyes open to finish that one last thing. 

The problem with choosing option two is that once you get through that initial “sleep window”, it’s tough to wind down again. 

*Parents know exactly what I’m talking about.  You know that when your child signals you it’s time for bed (or even a nap), it’s time to drop everything to make it happen or you could be in for a long night.

You could become “overtired” and have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep if you push through that initial window.

Try these three strategies that can have you sleeping like a baby:

1.       Reserve your bed for sleeping.  Avoid screens or anything not related to sleep.  Don’t “hang out” in there.  If you create a relationship between bed and sleep, you’ll know that once you get in bed, it’s time to go to sleep.

2.       Have a pre bedtime routine.  One hour prior to bed, begin winding down and preparing for a good night rest. 

3.       Sleep in a dark room.  I mean very dark.  Studies have shown that even a little light can have a negative effect on the quality and quantity of our sleep.

These few tips have helped me and a number of my clients sleep like a baby and I know they can help you too.

If you do, maybe you should start drinking your juice!

Since I began juicing regularly a few months ago, one thing I've noticed is that my nails are growing faster, stronger and look healthier overall.  This is not something I anticipated or even hoped for but it is a nice benefit.

It just goes to show the impact nutrients found in veggies and fruits have on our entire being.  

Here's the juice I had this morning:

4 stalks kale
4 carrots
1 apple
5 strawberries
1/3 cucumber
36 ounces of water
3 handfuls of ice cubes

I split this one with my wife and still have some left over for a snack later today.  

I've found, drinking my veggies helps to ensure that I'm getting the essential nutrients for a highly functioning body and mind.  

What did you have for breakfast today?

My buddy Navid Moazzez threw this out there this morning and I had to jump on it.  The last three days I've done 7, 8.5, and 10.5 miles running and today was going to be a recovery day.  Instead I watched Navid in the park in Sweden doing his set of 100 burpees and I jumped on it!

He did it in a little over 8 minutes and it took me about 12 but what a great idea for a challenge Navid.  Learn more about what he is doing here:  https://www.facebook.com/NavidMoazzez

I accepted his challenge and now I challenge you to do 100 burpees today too!  

Navid, your impact is growing my friend.

February was a great month!  I turned 34, had the opportunity to connect with a number of amazing people, finished my first ultra skate ski event and began training for my next ultra running event - the Zumbro 50 mile.

Not only did I get to enjoy all of those wonderful things that happened in February, I also worked to bring our Empowering Commitment process to you!  The first few weeks of the month were dedicated to creative writing.  I spent my time reflecting on my 10 plus years in coaching and training and tried to package the strategies I've found have worked best for me and my clients.  

Then, on the 20th of February I took the day to record all of our 22 videos that are included in the 21 Day "Empowering Commitment" Challenge.  The last week of the month was spent on editing and March 1, we went live with our second online product.  The first being EDGE Training Group.

This product has been created to empower commitment in you.  I don't know what you'll commit to but the commitment you make will be to yourself.

You may know someone who is struggling with the commitment part of action, someone who is at a point in their life where they are looking for direction or a change of pace.  It could be someone who has been stuck in planning for the past 10 years of their life and need a little push to get uncomfortable and start pursuing their passions.  This challenge is perfect for them.  If you're fresh out of college and are trying to figure out what you want to do with you life, this challenge is perfect for you.  

It could be weight loss, business ownership, 5k, 10k, marathon, or ultra.  Maybe it's becoming stronger and healthier late in life, having more energy for your work and your family or maybe you're at the point in your life where you are eager to make an impact for a greater good in this life.  My mission is to directly impact 100,000 people and countless others as a result...  

What's yours?

My goal in providing this opportunity and call to action is to empower commitment in those who are seeking permission to dream big and pursue their goals and dreams.  I believe that dreams do come true and with hard work and a commitment in place first, action towards achievement will surely follow.  

Here is your call to action.  Check out the "commit" tab or click the link below to experience YOUR 21 Day "Empowering Commitment" Challenge.  It could be the most impactful $99 you'll spend.

One time price 

Only $99!

If this challenge does not empower commitment in you, I'm offering a 60 Day Money Back Guarantee.  All I ask is that you go through all 21 Days and give the information included 30 days to impact you.  I'm so confident in the value added within this challenge, if you're not fully satisfied, I'll give you a full refund.
