March 17 | The Monday Report
Having a small, certain gain is more valuable than chasing after a larger, uncertain one. It's wiser to appreciate what I currently have instead of risking it for something that may never materialize.
FITLETE Professional Update
The Resource Nexus
— Event Updates: The new “fill in the blank” method of search filters previewed in The Monday Report on Feb. 24th is live on the Event Maps!! I believe it works swimmingly, and I hope you enjoy the way it guides you toward any future education opportunity that works for you. Any New filter options will amend this filter format like when I add price ranges, and whether it is an annual event or a course. I will continue to adjust all filtering options to be used in this way.
Equipment Updates: With the primary focus on the USA to start and then working outward from there, I have finally added Canadian companies to the directory. While they are in the database already, you won’t be able to interact with them until the next minor site update. A total of 21 new Canadian companies have been added, and a little over half of them have their product manufacturing and source their materials from within Canada! This brings the total directory to 200!

Personal Update
— Last week was pretty typical, and I tend to enjoy the status quo-type weeks more and more. Nothing too crazy or bland, the “Goldilocks” kind of week. It’s not that I don’t like “the grind” or problem-solving things for clients and for my own business, it’s just a nice little surprise when things just happen to fall into place without a struggle. They don’t happen often, and in reality, I don’t want them to happen all the time because it would be pretty boring to me, but every once in a while, a nice surprise easy week is welcomed. This past weekend was an exciting one, though. I went to see the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie in theaters on Saturday with my wife Nikki, followed by Pizza Saturday and a beer down the street. Sunday started with training clients and then turned into a fancy car show afternoon, food truck lunch, and Dance Performance showcase all in the neighborhood where I have my HQ! I picked a cool neighborhood to have my facility!
