I've been blogging about this trip and now it's finally here!

Thanks to my beautiful wife Belinda who will hold the fort down while I'm away for 2 weeks!

Have you ever thought about how you earn an income based on being a specialist in a particular field?

Take medicine for example.

If you're a GP which is a highly respected profession you have a lot of respect and value with the advice you give people.

But, if you see a specialist, automatically there advice (and invoice) will be far greater!

Why?

Because they specialise in a particular field!

What's your speciality?

To be honest I've felt strange ever since the passing of US rapper Nipsey Hussle.

He was building something great for his community before being gunned down tragically in front of his own clothing store amongst the commercial building site he owned.

More then just a rapper he was an entrepreneur trying to build things to help people.

Rest in Peace Nip.

I've mentioned before that I'm a big fan of 5th Element Wellness based in FItzroy Melbourne.

I've been to a yoga class plus I've read all their materials online - very impressed!

So much so that I'm giving them the absolute tip of the hat by modelling my own business after their example!

More on this to come!

ProPhysio+ is our flagship business right now and we have plans to grow our footprint across metro Melbourne Australia then eventually building supportive businesses to supplement each other.

It will include our ProTrainer+ program to help community clubs and University students needing practical experience, Wellness centres to drive community health and a unique online presence to help those in need of health improvements.

Watch this space!

When I refer to people that are working along side me - I have always preferred the term team mate.

Words like this matter to me because you can't build something special and sustainable unless you have team mates, not employees, team mates.

I like comparing this to a team sport where you might have the captain of the team but he plays right along side his team mates on the field.

That's how I view business.

In it together!

You may have heard of the 7 Deadly Sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride.

I'd like to present the 8th one: Instant Gratification.

Sometimes when we're hurt or injured we want instant results or improvement.

Sure, that can be achieved most of the time but sometimes our environment can change our expectations which warps our reality.

Instant messaging, Googling, Youtubing remedies, posting on social media. All these things are great for our society but be careful with how it may affect your beliefs especially with an injury!

Borrowed from Russell Brunson's podcast, Being Coachable, is an idea that resonates with me.

You see in the physiotherapy clinic we try and help people back to full health.

This is a two way street.

I need the patient to be coachable in terms of following instructions and allowing me to guide the management back to full health.

Conversely, I need to be coachable also and receive constructive feedback on how the patient feels with my management.

So a lot of my successes have inadvertently come from being coachable.

I took my daughter to her gymnastics class this morning.

It's nothing special - they're 4-5yo performing some specialised play where they incorporate some core gymnastics movements.

She's only been 'playing' for less then a year and I can see how much she's improved!

She did it by just showing up and training.

Something we can all learn from!

Listen to a story about my time as a young Rugby player and taking my health and team cohesion for granted.

In my first year in Seniors we made the Grand Final - we lost and I was shattered.

But, I didn't realise how long it would be until I see another GF.

Don't take things for granted!
