Wow life has been crazy. I got my cert 2 weeks ago and all the sudden my days start at 4 am and go until 10 pm. Its stressful and crazy but surprisingly I love it, I feel like I have found my thing. Ya know the thing that you spend your whole life looking for that your really good at, enjoy, and could do it the rest of your life. (I may just be really excited because its the only new thing in my life right now), but its been so fun to build these relationships with people where they put all their trust in you to help them change their lives. They call and text you at all hours of the day asking for questions on what to eat, and what shoes to buy. I love feeling appreciated and on a side note I am damn good at personal training!

Im still looking for new clients so if anyone knows anyone that may be interested please let me know, and we can come do a free assessment for them!!

New Gig

So life has been insanely crazy. About a week before school started I decided to change my schedule from 15 credits to 3 credits because Keaton approached Jake and I about a new idea he had for a company called MoFit which is short for mobile fitness. The company is in home fitness training where the trainers bring all the equipment and the fitness plan to the clients home. Its been so exciting for Jake and I because we are getting ownership in the company for doing all of the marketing and I am going to be one of the trainers. I am so so excited. Fitness has been such a huge part of my life over the last 2 years and I have grown such a love and desire to learn. So I shortened my schedule and for the last three weeks I have been working on my NASM Cert which is one of the hardest personal training certifications you can get. I plan to take my test the 1st week in October and have seriously been cramming my brain with as much information as it can hold. But I love It. I am so excited for this new opportunity and to help people change their lives.

Its been crazy the response we have gotten from this program its almost like people have been dying for someone to come up with this idea so they could receive all the benefits of training but not have to suffer embarrassment from the gym, or try and find a baby sitter, but best of all this program has been motivating for people to get in shape knowing once they set the appointment there will be a trainer at their door and ready to inspect their cupboards for any junk that doesnt allow for their fitness plan.

So friends and family spread the word and if you come across anyone who is interested please let me know. Pricing is really inexpensive for training and we do a free first assessment.

Seriously made my day

Oh my gosh I have been crying of laughter all day long, and those of you who are family and know my grandparents I hope will be also.

So this is a screen shot of a pic the D'ettes took at a football game and posted it in their albums on facebook. I love how my very supportive grandparents showing up to all of our activities ended up being tagged as "cute old couple" on the D'ettes profile.



All they wanted to do was watch Carter play football... I think this will be in our family forever!! I need to get this printed and put in our family album.

GO UTES!!!

Holy Cow I have no clue how I am at work right now, I am so stoked about the game today and my mind is only focused on 1 thing. I love the Utah Games and I am so excited to see how this season will turn out being in the Pac 12. Good things are about to come our way. I put on my facebook page this morning and its so true ever since I put my new shirt on this morning I have been singing the Utah song in my head haha . My dad would be so proud. Him and my family are all leaving at 3:30 to go tailgating.. is that dedication or what.

Have a great day everyone!

Cubicles

Agh... Can I just tell you how much I hate cubicles. Right now our sales office is in a entrepreneur launch office and I am in a cubicle along with 40 other new businesses and it is so distracting listening to other peoples conversations when they have nothing to do with what you are trying to work on. The worst is when they have a conference call on the speaker phone. Its 10:16 and the head phones are already on.

I know all I do is blog about work, I guess its because I kinda feel confused and not sure where this job is going to take me. If only I had the glass globe to show me what I am supposed to be doing. When I first started at Sage Displays the whole idea was that I would help Dave and Tammi run and build this company. Well business has been SO SLOW and now all the sudden I have become the Project Manager instead of just doing everything. So the things that were keeping me busy all day is not part of my responsibilities, and I have nothing to do because there aren't enough jobs coming in to keep me busy. I guess only time will tell until I know what I really need to be doing.

On a side note thanks Whit and Chels for your suggestions, we actually just went to Loews about the concrete stain and they told us everything we needed to get the job done. We are going to start it this weekend so ill have to post some picture.

PS I am really starting to dread Tuesdays: Leg Day! I seriously almost puked at the gym today. Stupid Keaton taught me not to stop doing legs until 1 you collapse, or 2 puke. Mission accomplished.

So today it is now 12:08, Tammi called me at 8:00 to say that they were shipping a clients display and will be in shortly.... hmm still not here. My computer is a P.O.S and wont start so here I am on my laptop full of frustrations and desperately feeling like its time for a change. How do you grow a small business when your resources are limited and the only one motivated.

This is to hope of better days!

We are finally finishing my parents basement and walls are up and ready to paint but the next step is the floor. We are going to stain the concrete which will look so awesome but we do have a problem of not knowing where to start.. Any ideas??

PS Im not trying to complain... just extremely bored!

Meeting last week was very interesting and not so much what I had expected. Looking at my last post and then reliving the actual experience its quite comical. Picture 250 completely wasted women in mini skirts, and music. Haha not quite the environment I was expecting and really quite a waste of time. What I was expecting was completely based off of Tammi's experience last year and after the drastic change of this year I think we both decided that it is really not worth our time or money next year. I did however make some new friends the hope is that they will remember me next time I see them.

The last two weekends we have been up at my grandparents cabin. Can I just tell you how beautiful and green it is up there is Heber City. It still amazes me that there is still snow up on the very top of the mountains and summer is almost over.

Today is my non-motivating day, and my bosses are driving me crazy. I think sometimes its unhealthy to spend this much time with a married couple that are always HAPPY... and I could be slightly tired and cranky...

Have a great day!!

Bad Blogger

I cant believe it has been an entire year since I have last blogged. Jake always tells me I need to take pictures more often which is probably one of the main reasons I stopped blogging, and because life has changed so much I just didnt think to stop and document. But really life is great, Jake and I have changed so much in the last year its crazy to look back and think what last summer was like. We each have new jobs and actually feel like we are starting a career, which is exciting, but also kinda intimidating.

Tonight my boss and I are attending a banquet for the Salt Lake Chamber where there are going to be over 300 successful women, to be completely honest I am freaked out. I have never been very good with girls and I am noticing more often the more events I attend people give me the look like "what is this teenager doing at an event like this" I feel like my drive and motivation is so much more advance than my looks and the only time I really get intimidated is when I have to network with these wise and advanced successful women who often look at me like a child. I need to find a way tonight to show that I may be young but I am smart and educated, and have a drive and potential to be successful that most people my age never have. One day I will be that hot shot business woman I just really need to get over the fear of how people judge my appearance. I want to be taken seriously, and I want to get a ton of business out of tonight's event.

Well I guess I will let my nerves to keep taking a toll on me. Wish me luck.

By the way hope everyone is doing well. And I will try and do better. School starts soon, 15 credits and working full time might take over my life.
