PHYSIO-ism

Never a great feeling when team members leave but that's life. I've learnt lessons on how to best manage this situation and how to move forward positively.

Staying over my parents place for the weekend was a great chance to revisit some old favourites. My Mum's sweet and sour pork takes me back to my childhood :)

We finished high school in 2002! Good friends Shek, Mitch and I caught up after almost 18 years of being apart. Great chat. 

Check out the reason why I commit to my ice bath efforts... even in winter!

It's been over 15 years since we last caught up! My high school friends Mitch (also a physio ) and Shek have been busy building their businesses and it was great to compare notes from the trenches. In 2022 we celebrate our 20 year high school reunion! How time flies!

As our Health Company grows, we are evolving. At the leader of the movement I am looking to move from being the Bus Driver to the Traffic Controller of the traffic. Come with systems and processes. Slowly, slowly.

My mother-in-law Lia was able to stay over for a couple of days during the week. It was welcome help for my wife Belinda! I thought about new Australians who have their whole support network overseas. Grateful that we can tap into friends and family in Australia!

Physio Ben has given us his 2 weeks notice. This is the first time that I've had to deal with someone leaving our Health Company and it can be taken 2 ways... as I see it. Good or Bad. I prefer to get on the front foot and be open and transparent. Honesty is the best policy. 

Remember you must die! Mortality has been the theme of the week after challenging times with BLM, a teen death in Melbourne and COVID19. This has been a helpful tool in navigating life... and death!

Tough week with a stabbing death in Melbourne - poor Solomone was only 15yo! Leki left some thoughts on Instagram about it all and leans a lot on Stoicism. How do you deal with death?

Listening to a Tim Ferriss podcast a theme of 'being first' was discussed. This resonated very strongly with me especially with a lot of the apprehension with BLM in 2020. Big old smile will disarm most people!  

Turning 6yo, losing more teeth, primary school and learning to read write is what Neriah is looking forward to! How time flies!

One of the boys I grew up with is turning the big 4-0! The first one to cross that gate it's funny to observe how we saw 40 as being so far away and now it's here!

The only way to be successful is to plow ahead and learn from your mistakes. Here we go! 

When talking to a lot of different stakeholders in Business it's important to be open and transparent. I take full responsibility.

If there is anything that goes wrong in the Company. It's completely my fault! That's what Gary Vee says and I completely agree!

Sickness ------------------------> Wellness. That's what it is! That's what we're about.

Learning from Russell Brunson - a Value Ladder is important to to help people through their health journey.

Blue ocean = low competition. Red ocean = high competition. Swim in a purple ocean!

What would be the Top 3 priorities that you would ask of yourself and your family? 1. Safety 2. Stability 3. Longevity That's my list for you!

There are common conditions that develop with growing athletes. Sever's ankle and Sever's heel. Not fun!

My little niece turned 12yo and is looking forward to getting into high school next year. How quickly has time gone by? Crazy!

Not sure what's the latest developments with Victorian Premier Dan Andrews deciding to return to a form of lock down. It may push back our Rugby season again for 2020. No joy!

We really enjoy the Big 4 caravan parks and a lot of it comes from accommodating families and kids. Until the lock down lifts we will have to pause these plans until 2021.

Try and think about everything in abundance. It will open up your thinking!
