Years ago when my business took a massive nose dive, I ended up taking a part time job as a care worker
It was not long after I’d bought my house, and I needed the money
The first shifts I did, I worked in a very volatile secure unit
It was very very scary
A couple of months earlier, I’d had an article in men’s health magazine, and all of s sudden, I was working in a mental secure unit
I couldn’t believe it
I remember thinking to myself “what the fuck am I doing here”, to be precise
It was as if all my dreams had been taken away from me
Because I needed the money, I had to take on more challenging jobs, to make my money up
I worked with kids, with severe autism
I worked with kids and adults, with severe disabilities
I worked in mental health
I worked with challenging behaviour
I showered kids and adults, who were covered head to toe in faeces
I did personal care
I washed and bathed people
You name it, I did it, and I don’t know how looking back
I’ve even kept some of the time sheets from certain shifts
Sometimes I look back and think “how the feck did I do that”
This went on for a number of years
In the meantime, I still tried to get my personal training business going again
Other people were smashing it, and I was on the bones of my ass, struggling
I knew I needed help
I went back to basics, and did what I was great at
Teaching boxercise, weight training and setting goals
I hired a marketing coach and paid her quite a lot money ( money I didn’t have )
I knew my marketing was well behind the times
And since then,
I’ve doubled my income and working a third of the hours I used to work ( I was constantly working. 60 – 90 hrs a week )
How cool is that
And I only got into this position, because I got help, with the right person
Same can be said for losing weight, or trying to get our confidence back
We try and do things on our own
We think we’re ok and things will sort itself out
We cut out carbs
We buy exercise dvds and never follow them
We try and read the book ‘the secret’, and hope that visualising our selves being fitter, slimmer and more confident again, works
We buy the Joe Wicks ‘lean in 15’ books, thinking that we’ll start cooking healthy meals, but then don’t even pick them up and open them
Then we try on bigger clothes and think ‘oh, it’s ok, it’s only one size up’
Thing is, it’s not ok.
My advice – GET HELP – NOW
Don’t waste time trying to do things on your own ( like I did )
Seek help
Luckily for you, I’m still in business, and I am now regarded as the main man in Liverpool, to help women get their confidence back
I’ve had my own struggles
But from the experience, I can help you develop the mindset, to help you get to where you want to be, through my sessions
