Holistic Lifestyle Coach talks about How to be Successful in Your Business

Over the years I have read numerous amounts of success books 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Listen to Anthony Robbins…etc.  Each time I was able to move my knowledge up to the next level but it only lasted for so long. Then I had to review it again. I found most of these books were talking about one part of success, be it personal or business but they were talking about the whole package.

I was still over weight but making $70,000 a year doing IT work (Information Technology) which was part of my success that I wanted. I was able to apply the recommendations these books provided me to be successful and obtain it but still was not happy emotionally or physically.  I was having back problems, getting sick but the money was increasing.  I see this time and time again with facebook posts, webinars, groups…etc all talking about the money aspects, How to get more prospects ? How to make more money? The list goes on and on. The challenge is really more serious than people think, most people do not even realize there is a bigger issue.  They do not even know themselves.

I have coach numerous amounts of people trying to become successful from all different countries. Each and every time I have to work on them first personally, nutrition, sleep, core values, legacy..etc
before I worked on their business each and everyone saw success just with those fundamental changes.

I am sure you are saying why would I have to work on these areas first before I work on my business or career success?  Think of it this way if you do not have a strong foundation how are you going to build a high rise that can reach as high as you can imagine?  If your core values, legacy, breathing, hydration, exercise, nutrition and thoughts are not at their optimal how are you going to be able to build on top of it? Business or career is secondary to these main foundational principals.  If they are not strong when you add more pressure your success will crumble to the bottom and you will be wondering why.

I am telling you here today, it is because you did not have a strong foundation to be able to build on.  Before you try making your millions make sure your foundation is strong. Nothing sucks more then spending a lot of your hard earned money, your time and heart into something that crumbles underneath you.

Why is healing yourself so Important?

Why is healing yourself so Important?

Many of us focus including me when times get tough we focus on money, debit, our wants vs want we truly need. This has lead into colds, flues, feeling emotionally down and over time if not dealt with can lead into a disease.

When you look out our primal instincts the order of importance for our survival is

1)      Safety

2)      Security

3)      Substance

4)      Sex

If these are not met in this order our body starts to try to control this order. If you do not feel safe at your work then your sex drive goes, then challenges with eating and it works back to safety and security until you start to heal.

I see and talk to people all over the world about their personal or professional challenges.   Each and every time I have worked with someone I had to start from the foundation of safety and security. Then work on substance and the rest comes.

Now I write this article today because more and more people are getting sick, having financial problems, going to pharmaceuticals to help and are finding themselves in the rat race.  We need to educate on self care how to take care of our own well being first and then deal with the other challenges. If your stressed, not sleeping well, not eating properly how are you going to solve any problems.  Think of it this way say you are a builder and you are going to build a house. You see a lot open that you can see an beautiful house being built in. You design the plan and start getting to work, as you start building you run out of supplies and challenges start to come up. You have 2 choices one you take a break sit back and get the right supplies for the job and go maybe a little slower. Or you push through using rusty nails, rotten wood, you are tired, stressed and just do not care.

Now here is 2 questions for you

1 Which house would you want to live in?

2 What do you think the health is going to be of the builder after he is finished?

What is Reiki?

Looking back a few years ago if someone would have told me about Reiki and how it can heal someone I would have laughed in their face. Having an analytical mind being in IT (Information Technology) if I could not see it, touch it or feel it was not real.   As well being in Go Ju Ryu Karate for 13 years I understood Chi and depending how you stood and breath through a technique you would get more power.  That was tangible for me, but to have someone just put their hands on me and flow energy through me that could heal me was something I could not believe.

Most books you read will talk about Reiki starting in the late 1800 by Mikao Usui  from Japan and developed from there.  I am going to tell you a story which I want you to take it as just that if you want to believe it as a true story or just a fairy tale that is up to you.

Energy healing as we call it has been around BC (Before Christ). Any history book that talks about leaders and kings always talk about having great healers with them using aromas, oils, toning and energy healing to help the sick.  This has been going on for hundreds of years and being passed down to people who were open to learn and wanted to help people. I’m not going to go into any specifics that is up to you to find out for yourself. Today when a healing happens that no one can explain they call it a medical miracle. Be it the body naturally healing itself through reducing stress, eating the right foods, exercising, resting, and treatments like Reiki.

I am sure you are asking at this point what is Reiki. Reiki is the act of laying hands on the human or animal body to comfort and relieve pain. Through this process if you are more attuned to heal energy could flow through you. This energy is in all of us, think of it as an electromagnetic energy that connects as all too all things. This has been called the Universal Energy or Chi or Ki depending on your background and beliefs.  This energy flows in all living things with a DNA  and works through us to develop our existence. Now with Reiki people who have learned this style of treatment work to balance out the energies in the body by placing their hands on certain areas of the body to help calm and balance the energies.

Does this work? I have read all different posts, comments, reviews as well started treating clients myself just for me to see if it really works. I can honestly say every person I have treated so far has felt something happen and have felt benefits from a Reiki treatment with me.  I have heard that this could be a placebo effect.  I thought that as well working in a clinic with people with real pain and injuries. I have seen things so far that I am still trying to get me head around.

I had one person I was asked to treat who was kicked in the leg training in Muay Thai and ended up with a deep contusion on the outside of his left leg. The Athletic Therapist and hospital both assessed him and told him it would be 3 to 6 weeks to heal.  I treated him once for a 60min treatment and the contusion was gone in 48 hours.  He was back working out within a couple of days.

I had another dancer who was not able to touch her hands to the ground doing a hamstring stretch. She said her calves were just too tight. She has been doing treatment with a massage therapist and stretching daily but it was not helping. I did a 30min Reiki treatment with her and she got off the table as was able to touch her hands right to the floor.  We were both shocked to say the least.

I can go on and on about the stories I have of people I have treated and the results they have found which has really made me a believer.

If you are having any emotional, physical or psychological challenges that you are going through and are not seeing any improvement. As well are not currently working with a Reiki practitioner I would highly recommend you try a few session with one and see how you feel.

If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me

Why Am I Not Seeing Success?

This question I get asked numerous times in regards to health, weight loss, career, finances, relationships, people read all these success books, watch videos, talk to mentors, friends and family but find a hard time implementing these systems. Or they just can not figure out why it is not working.

I have followed many of the great motivational speakers like Tony Robbins,  Byron Katie, John C. Maxwell, Stephen Covey, the list goes on and on. What I have found is that all their information works if you are just are able focus and not listen to your negative ego. The Negative Ego will tell you it does not work, it is way too hard, you are not seeing success so it does not work, it is taking too long to see results. All this negative thinking hinders you from your success. Plus you are not doing it for you, it is to prove something to false ideal vs achieving success for you.  Setting out an action plan that really works.

I had to first work on myself to really get down my core needs and wants to find out who I was as a person. What I really needed to be me and what I really wanted in my life and set the foundation.  This is what I call finding your Core Values and Legacy. This foundation is what I used to set my goals for me to achieve so I was able to live my Legacy.

Most of us including me before I learned this key point, I was setting goals that were not aligned with me. They were material goals that I really did not want to work for or want in my life. When I really figured out what I was willing to do and what my core values where success was easy because I enjoyed it.

Remember if you want to achieve success you have to first look after You and build that strong foundation before you can start achieving your dreams.

Break Through with Tony Robbins

It’s interesting I watch all 6 shows of Break Through with Tony Robbins.  To be honest each show choked me up to watch the show and really relate to the people and see the challenges they have overcome to have their limiting beliefs challenged. Then see them excel to achieve their dreams.

Looking a back at my life and going back through all the challenges I had from at 2 years old my mom was having grand mal seizure’s to the point she had to let me Grandmother raise me because she would have seizures that she wasn’t able to take care of.  Having father around to raise me and teach me. My Grandmother living with her own pain which she turned to alcohol as her support which was our families way of dealing with stress. My Grandfather never around because he was always at the race track and eventually left my Grandmother. Which left her to raise me on her one.  One of my Grandmother’s brothers took the time to teach me how to play pool and would take me out when he came to town just so I would have a male figure in my life. But he died all of the sudden of a heart attack on a baseball field in Acton. Then a family friend my Grandmother knew stepped up and started to take me out and teach me about shooting hand guns in a gun rang. Which my Mom was terrified off but when she learned all the safety steps and how I learned to respect guns she was actually was grateful that I learned how to handle them properly. Especially at 14 years old one of the schools I went too hand some kids from a rough area and I was very street smart because of this. That family friend passed away when I was 18 years old which was hard.

I dropped out of school at 18 to go work in warehousing because I felt I needed money and I wasn’t really good at school. So why not make money.

So at this point you can understand I grew up as a angry child/teenager/young adult. I never was in trouble with the law but had a big chip on my shoulder. I started Karate with a great instructor who to this day I really respect because he saw that I was an angry kid and just wanted to learn to fight. But he say deeper than that and taught me what the true meaning of Martial arts is.

At 21 years old I got a young women pregnant and in the shock of everything I got married and went through 2 years of a truly bad marriage, working 3 jobs trying to make ends meet, not know the person I married as well not really having anything in common with her. This lead into a 4 year long divorce and me not being able to see my son because of a long custody battle.

Then I got into a relationship with a great girl but ended up helping her out financially through school which she ended up not completely and lead to me getting a second job as a bouncer to make ends meet.  Which I ended up getting into a situation at a club which lead to me getting peppered sprayed and falsely arrested for something I didn’t do. After a long court case all charges were dropped and my record was cleared.

I also was in a motorcycle accident where I flipped my motorcycle (CBR 600 F4i) up in Orangeville doing the twisties. Ended up with a concussion and short term amnesia which took me about 3 months to remember the accident.

I injured my lower back and had a herniated disc at L5 S1 to the point I was bed ridden for 6 weeks to the longest episode I think was 4 months.  I went through very low points that I didn’t think I was going to be able to walk.   I finally had the choice to either have my spine fused or find another way to heal my back. Which I was able to heal my back thanks to Carolyn within 3 months.

which leads us up to today

Now I am not telling you this stuff to say oh poor Brandon, I watch shows like “Break Through with Tony Robbins” and I get all choked up because I really can understand what these people are going through and how hard it can be.  How when we are in that situation we can’t see there is a way out and we can do it. When you are dealing with whatever challenge we have a choice to either stay in it and fester in it or make a change to do what we can to get out of it.

I have always fought my way out of challenges because I personally felt that I can do it no matter how bad it gets I never gave up. To the point now I have left all pain and am so grateful that I have gone through the challenges that I have gone through. I’m a true Holistic Lifestyle Coach because over the last 4 years I have healed myself Holistically which is an ongoing process and will never end.

Never give up no matter how bad things may seem.

Love and Chi

How to Live Your Dreams!

Hi Everyone,

It’s been a while since I wrote an post here but the universe has been helping me live my dreams.  If you don’t know I am currently working 4 jobs at the moment which all tie in together.  First I have my main company KNSS Consulting “Keeping Nutrition & Success Simple” which goes with Carolyn Zepf’s company Ultimate Sports Therapy www.ultimatesportstherapy.com where I do local consultations with people in the GTA.  Now recently I have a amazing position with Vividlife.me which is the North American Editor which is really exciting to me.  Last but not least I work for GoodLife Fitness www.goodlifefitness.com doing personal training for people in the local Toronto, Etobicoke and Mississauga area.

Now I’m sure you are asking which I have been over the past few weeks why do I have so many jobs/business’s on the go.  My legacy I’m trying to live is to have the ability to educate people worldwide about their health and wellness using these 6 basic principals as guides to optimal health.

1) Thoughts- What you think can affect how healthy your body is. Negative thoughts causes the body to work harder, become more toxic and develops tension in certain areas of the body depending on what your thinking.

2) Breathing – Breathing is essential for life, helps oxygenate the cells, detoxes the body and so much more

3) Drinking – Are bodies are roughly 65% water. We need to drink good quality water to help support our cells so that they can function properly.

4) Eating – Eating Whole foods, the right proteins, carbohydrates, fats for our unique metabolism so that we can help repair damage cells, be active and love life

5) Movement- Knowing How to move is so important to many people in North America are so stressed and working themselves to fatigue because they don’t know how to work out properly. We need movement but have to know what our bodies needs. Working out – Breaks the body down, Working In- Builds up energy, recharges the body. To many people are constantly tired, exhausted from their day and go work out.  It’s important to learn how to exercise properly for your unique lifestyle

6) Sleeping – Last but not least sleep. Sleep is when you repair, if you’re not sleeping properly then your not giving your body the rest it needs to repair from the day and/or any health issues you might be dealing with.

I know people who are building their business’s and are going through the same and this is what I am doing. I went back through my Values, my Legacy and my Goals. Over the next 3 months I am going to start narrow my focus down so I can work on developing myself and giving back.

Love & Chi,

To Fix or not to Fix that is the question

The cliche about you learn something new every day is so true. Working with people I keep learning different things. How to work with clients better, what works and what doesn’t.  This last week I connected with a client that had some challenges and I felt really bad for them. I felt this urge to help them and I started to take on their problem like it was my own. On Tuesday I spoke to Josh Rubin from East West healing about what I was going through and learned that if we are trying to fix someone issue it means I have some issues of  my own I need to fix.

Being a Holistic Practitioner one thing I have been taught and try to do is practice what I breach. Everything I do with my clients I have tried first with myself.

Speaking with Josh he reminded me that our job is to educate people and not fix people or take their situation on personally because it’s their journey.  My job is to educate people how to overcome challenges and achieve success Personally, Professionally and Spiritually.

We all go through different life challenges be it a loss of a loved one, divorce, beak-up, challenges as of relationships, loss of jobs…etc what ever you are going through there is always a lesson to be learned. Sometimes we are deep in the challenge so we can see it while it’s going on but trust me when everything is done there was a lesson to be learned.  When I went through my divorce I learned the hard way that I was not treating women with the respect they deserve. It helped me learn that I needed to change and I learn where I had to develop as a person.

With what ever challenge you are going through right now see if you can take sometime to disconnect from it and see what lesson there’s to be learned.  Take sometime for yourself in the morning to start your day, workout, read, what ever makes you feel good. Then at night disconnect from everything, read a relaxing book, meditation, write a journal to release all the challenges you have dealt with through the day. This will help you balance out from today’s hectic lifestyle.

Love & Chi

Warm Weather is here…

It’s been a few a while since I posted. I have been busy working with people over the last few weeks and my business has been picking up fast. I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to help so many people.

I have a few things coming up in the next month.

1) I’m going to start doing video’s again on Thursday. I will be live on Thursday at 1pm so people can ask me questions for FREE. Plus I will be doing 1 recording on Thursday as well.
2) I’m going to get back to writing articles. I’ve been so busy I forgot to get back to what I enjoy which is sharing information and helping people.
3) I just finished my new website and am really happy with the comments I’m getting back from people.

Business has been a good challenge for me, it has taught me how I didn’t want to be in business. How some companies put money first, then themselves, then the client. My strategy is my energy first, then the person I’m working with, then the business.

Let me explain this in more detail

Me First— I schedule my time now that I have time to workout, eat right and study to keep developing. I don’t work with people that I can’t help I refer them to other people. I have also set my hours that I have time to recharge and be present with the next person.

People I work with– Because of the above I am able to put more energy and be present with the people I am working with. I am able to design and action plan and coach them through it. I am able to assess constantly and make sure the program is adjusted as need be. This way the people I work with are happy and are able to reach their goals.

Business- I have systems in place that help me run my business and take only a few hours a day to manage. I’m also working with business friends who constantly help me develop. Now don’t get me wrong I had to but the systems in place before I started my business but this is dynamic and is always developing. But it’s because I have the energy, then the people to be able to build my business.

I will being doing a live talk at Planet Organic in Port Credit on April 29th at 7pm click here for directions

Thank you everyone for all your help and guidance.

Love & Chi

The Circle of Business Life

I know it’s been a while since wrote on the blog.  I’ve been busy rebuilding my business the website, marketing, my vision…etc. I was finding that my business model wasn’t attracting the right people who need my help and was not clear about my vision.

There are so many of us that are out there trying to build our business and career but don’t have direction. When we find that we are not on track the best thing to due is go back to the drawing board and design an action plan. Life is a journey and we all need a map to show us where we are going.   For example I had to go back to my value tree over the past week because I lost focus on why I was in business and why I want to help people. I was getting caught up with the business politics itself and not keeping on track of my values and legacy.

my values are clearly posted on Chekkies tab on the blog here.  I have to first look after me which is my “I” Values then work on “We” which is my family, relationships..etc then everyone else.  I’m going to get back to my foundation.

with that being said how many of you reading this take time for yourself each and every day? at least 1 hour of relax time where you unplug from everything. How many of you exercise at least 30 minutes per day? Work on exercising the mind?

For the next week I ask that you pick one of these and apply it to your life. Changes in your lifestyle should be slow and progressive not all at once.

If you need help with this let me know, you can e-mail me at  info@knssconsulting.com

Balance comes from the ROOT

Working with people all over the world, it becomes more and more obvious that the Chakra energy system relates to everyone.  I have used this as a tool for assessing the people I work with and helping them overcome their life challenges. I also use other tools, but I really want to discuss the Chakra system because it seems increasingly important for people in our society to know more about it.

There are 7 main Chakras and many systems that work with them.  Below is information about each, in order from bottom to top.

First Chakra “Root” – Located between the genitals and anus. The colour associated with this Chakra is RED. This Chakra is the growth stage of standing up for yourself between of the ages of 0 and 7 years old.

Second Chakra “Sacral” – Located at the lower abdomen, between navel and genitals. The colour associated with this Chakra is ORANGE. This Chakra is the growth stage of challenging motivations based on social conditioning between of the ages of 7 and 14 years old.

Third Chakra “Solar Plexus” – Located between the navel and base of the sternum. The colour associated with this Chakra is YELLOW. This Chakra is the growth stage of self-esteem/self-confidence between of the ages of 14 and 21 years old.

Fourth Chakra “Heart” – Located at the centre of the chest. The colour associated with this Chakra is GREEN. This Chakra is the growth stage of forgiveness and compassion between of the ages of 21 and 28 years old.

Fifth Chakra “Throat” – Located centrally, at the base of the throat. The colour associated with this Chakra is Blue. This Chakra is the growth stage of personal expression between of the ages of 28 and 35 years old

Sixth Chakra “Third Eye” – Located above and between the eyebrows. The colour associated with this Chakra is Indigo. This Chakra is the growth stage of emotional intelligence above the age of 35.

Seventh Chakra “Crown” – Located on the top of the head. The colour associated with this Chaka is violet, gold, white. This Chakra is the growth stage of selflessness above the age of 35.

want to give you this so you get a base of knowledge of what the chakras represent. If you are having a challenge in life, you can see if it relates to a chakra.  If it does, it could be manifesting itself physically, causing pain in that area.  For example, if you’re having pain in the neck or shoulder area, it could be related to communication issues, be it at work, family, relationship, etc. Knowing the cause can help you to start working towards a solution.

There are different ways to balance out the Chakras (depending on what the challenge is):  crystals, incense, oils, exercises or drills. Whatever area you are trying to balance out in your life, take your time and enjoy the process. Each person’s situation is different, and what works for one person might not work for another.  Try a few different ways to balance out yourself and your Chakras. If you don’t feel a difference, I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. E-mail me at info@knssconsulting.com with your questions and I will personally answer them.

Balancing out your Chakras/lifestyle is extremely beneficial. By having your nutrition, relationships, finances, exercise and spirituality in harmony, you can enjoy the journey of life by living your legacy each and every day.

Learn 4 FREE Easy Steps to Overcoming Stress

Good morning everyone,

It’s been a little while since I posted last. I’ve been working on doing some market research trying to find out how I can better serve people.  The funny thing is this, I’ve been getting little to no feed back or I get people thinking I’m trying to sell them something right of the bat. Which is not the case, if people did the research about me I’m truly about helping people first. To the point that where people who haven’t been able to afford my services I have bartered with them just to keep that exchange of energy. Every relationship, partnership, business relationship should be a 50/50 split. If your are going to take more then the other person, that person isn’t going to feel valued. Now that’s just my value on how I want to live my life and run my business I’m not saying you should do it yourself. I want to enjoy what I do and see people succeed with out becoming a corporate model where it’s all about the selling, profit margins…etc. Then you lose sight of what is truly important, that is why my business value is help people first.  Don’t get me wrong like all of us in today’s society we need to make money so we can pay the bills, put food on our plate and for me keep educating myself so I can keep helping people.

With that being said I need your help I want to learn what people are most concerned about, be it business, health, stress, weight loss, relationships…etc I want to hear from you. I have taken courses and know how to help people in all different areas in life. But if I’m not directly speaking to you and directly addressing a challenge that you might have. I’m just ranting to the internet.  I don’t want to do that I want to make a difference in peoples lives even if it’s just one thing I recommend you do and you feel better, I would be full filling my legacy.

What I need from you is this, Please ask people you know to come to my blog and answer these questions below. Ask them to e-mail me there answers to iwant@knssconsulting.com .

This way I can really see how I can best serve our family, friends and our community.

Questions:

1. What are the biggest challenges you’re dealing with Today?

Put My System to the Test!

I have been doing talks and presentation more frequently over the past few  months.  One question keeps coming up which is really made me think.

“Show me your system works!”

That has really got me thinking I have some great testimonials on my website. Worked with a few clients to really help me build my programs to where they are today.  But I have not shown  the results other then with myself.

I have recently decided I want to work with 1 person and 1 person only who is willing to make the lifestyle changes (nutrition, exercise, sleep, hydration…etc) to help them reach their health goal. The person who is selected will go through a full assessment, given a baseline on where their health is at the start and we will track their progress all the way through. As well I will be posting it on this blog so people can track the progress.

If you know someone who has health issues, would like to lose weight (more then 20lbs of weight loss), has type 2 diabetes, digestive issues…etc

Have them e-mail me their story and why they would like me to help them. The person who needs benefit the most and is willing to make the changes, as well have their information posted(their name, story, weight, measurements and before and after picture)  on this blog. I will contact them directly.

This is not a gimmick to sell a supplement…etc I am going to work with this person on how to change their eating habits, sleeping, lifestyle changes, build energy, reduce stress, teach them how to exercise properly, work with food sensitivities…etc.  To be 100% honest with you my goal is to prove that the system I use of Metabolic Typing, Exercise Program Design and Lifestyle Changes can really change someone’s health. That’s my goal

If you know someone who will benefit from this and is willing to be 100% committed

Have them e-mail me their story to  Iwanthealth@knssconsultling.com

Why is Business so Hard!

Being in business can be challenging for anyone. You have to wear so many hats if your just getting started out, business planner, accountant, marketer, researcher,  developer, web master, service and/or product developer, visionary…etc.  If you don’t have these skills people always recommend you outsource, contract some one or hire an employee. Where are you suppose to get the money? Yeah business planners talk about loans, business plans…etc but that is in theory you still have to test the market, see if your product or service is going to work and is profitable so you can keep the doors open.

For me I have and still do wear multiple hats as I develop my business and try to help people. I have made several changes through my business and number of mistakes. I have changed my rates, marketing, services, research…etc and I will keep making changes to my business until I can find how I can help the most people.

When you decide to go into business you have to decide really2 main things is it about the money or is it about the service/product that will help the people who purchase it.

When people make it about the money and not helping people their business becomes a lot harder because we all have an internal alarm system that tells us to stay away. When it becomes about the people and helping them better their lives. That’s when money is not an issue,  people will really appreciate you and your product/service because it has helped them.  We have all invested money into items, services, books..etc that we felt would better our lives. When we see results we feel great.

That’s why I am working so hard right now as a Holistic Lifestyle Coach to help educate the people I come in contact with, why it’s so important to look after their health.  The ones who really need my service I do my best to work with them by either giving them free tips to use, books/resources to read, movies to watch and if they need it work directly with me so I can coach them. Be it nutrition, exercise, lifestyle coaching…etc whatever it may be I really want to help.

If you’re in business think about how you’re servicing the people you are working with. Make it about them and really helping them with no expectations on return. You will see the rewards.

7 Easy Steps to Increase your Energy

Meeting people all over the world and discussing their challenges I find one issue keeps standing out, lack of energy. I can sympathize with these people because I use to work in IT and found myself tired all the time. I would workout, train in Martial Arts but still was not feeling energetic.

Taking courses learning about health and wellness I was able to understand how our bodies work. I was able to change my nutrition, exercise, sleep, reduce my stress levels right away. I was able to see my energy increase in the matter of a couple of days.  I’m sure you’re asking how did I do it, I’m going to give you 7 Easy Steps on How to Increase Your Energy.

1)      Sleep – go to bed at 10:30pm in your local time zone. This way you get your proper sleep and if there are no other blocking factors or health issues you will start to build energy.

2)      Nutrition- Make sure you are eating Certified Organic Whole Foods (Proteins, Carbohydrates, and Fats) in the right ratio for you unique Metabolic Type.

3)      Hydration – Makes sure you are drinking good quality water Evian, Fuji…etc ½ your body weight in pounds in ounces per day

4)      Exercise – Make sure you have a properly designed exercise program that meets with your lifestyle and fitness goals. Remember train don’t drain

5)      Harmony – Your life should be in Harmony, don’t take on what you can’t handle. We all have 24 hours in a day 8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for work (most of us) and 8 hours left over.

6)      Stinken thinken – Too many of us get caught up in what is going on in our lives. We keep going over and over situations that consume us. These thoughts can manifest physically over time if not dealt with.

7)      Have Fun – Last but not least have fun and take time each day to have fun.

These are just simple steps you can start implementing in your life immediately. There are more advance techniques that I do recommend to people. For those of you who want more information sign up for my e-letter which gives more advance techniques at http://www.knssconsulting.com

Business Development

Sitting here on Sunday January 24th, just finished reviewing a marketing course that I completed  6 months ago.  I realized that my website and marketing was not following my dreams of how I want to help people.  I realized that when I first initially setup my website  it was all about me and what I can provide.

After going back through my website a few times I have updated the content but today I noticed that my menu’s where still corporate terms, very business like.  When I was in IT (Computers) I was very formal and technical. Now being in Holistic Lifestyle Coaching I’m connecting to people on a personal level. As well connecting to my core values of meeting great people and business friendships all over the world.  I have met people from the UK, Mexico, all across Canada and the United States. The way I want to run my business and meet people it becomes challenging especially because I still have IT in my blood. When I see a new application, website or gadget I just want to play with it like a little kid.  Up until a few weeks ago I had 2 separate blogs (Ning & WordPress) 2 Facebook accounts, 2 Youtube accounts, 2 Twitter accounts, numerous amount of tools and applications.  So you can see how my old IT habits and joy can become time consuming.

Plus, because I’ve learned all my marketing, website development and business strategies on my own as I’ve developed my business. I’ve had to use market research to see how I can best serve the people I work with.  This is one of the strategies I coach my business friends.

I’m currently going to do the same for the next few months because I see that people are having more challenges in their lives because of the economy and I want to know how I can better serve our community.  I have heard from a few people about some challenges they are having, but I want to hear from you.  This way I don’t make my service about what I can offer, I make it about you and what you need.  What ever it may be, how to improve your health, exercise, nutrition, relationships, career, business…etc. I want to know how I can help you.

Trust me I can ramble on and on about what I think you want to hear, but I’m not going to know for sure unless I ask you. So here it goes I’m asking you, letting me know what’s on your mind, what area’s in your life or the people around you are finding.

How to Take on 2010 Holistically

How many of us look over the past year and say “I wish I could have done… ” or as the New Year approaches you are thinking, “This year I’m going too…”

I have been in the same situation numerous of times, recapping the years that have past and coming up with “New Year Resolutions” to achieve in the up coming year. I can honestly say that each year I have personally made a laundry list of goals I wanted to accomplish and have been able to fully complete only a few. There are people out there that are able to write out their list of 5, 10, 20…etc goals to achieve in the New Year and are able to complete them. But, like myself there are so many people that can not do it because life seems to throw us challenges.

Three years ago, I learned a way to setup realistic holistic goals that not only was I able to accomplish them, but I was also able to enjoy the journey. The system that I learned is detailed and takes sometime to get it down. I want to give you the overview and a few tips so you can start working on your Holistic New Years Resolutions.

1)      Understand and live your Core Values.

2)      Know your Legacy and live it daily.

3)      Do not set more then 3 Goals at a time.

4)      Draw out a mind map on how you are going to accomplish each goal.

5)      Figure out how you are going to do 1 action per day to work towards each of your goals.

Here are some tips that are very helpful for setting goals. Think of goals like children; you have to care, feed, play with and love them. If you can only handle taking care of one child then do not set yourself up for caring for 3 children. I use this analogy because it is so true when it comes to goals. If you can not spend the time, feed, nurture, and love your goal(s) how are you going to be able to accomplish them? That is why when I teach people about goal setting I teach them how to properly manage their expectation and how to set realistic goals. This way they can accomplish their goals without getting overwhelmed and quitting.

Once you have this foundation down you can easily set S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measureable, Action Oriented, Realistic, Timed) Goals and have a successful New Year!

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year.
