The Change...

If you follow my post on Facebook than some of you may have noticed a few days ago I announced that I will be moving to Seattle in this upcoming year. I know especially my clients why I choosing to do this and leaving Total Health and Fitness for now. So this blog post will explain why I am doing this and what lead up to it. I know I don't have to explain my self, but I feel like you should all know. First let me clear this up, I love the fitness industry! Fitness is and always will be my life! I will always be apart of fitness in some way or another. As I have thought about my future though, I've realized that there are a few things I need to do first before I can do what I really want to do in the Fitness industry. This job is more a means to an end. So that being said, here is what lead up to this change. A few months ago my friend approached me about going out and doing summer sales. That idea was something I really never had a huge desire to fulfill. I thought it couldn't hurt to venture out and try something challenging though. So I started to study out the summer sales in every aspect possible. As I found more and more info about it it became harder and harder not to want to do it, but still every other day it would feel like something like I would just hate doing. In the mean time I had been talking to some close friends from Seattle Washington, where I served my LDS mission. I had sarcastically suggested to them that they should hire me so I could come up there and work for them. Well little did I know they would really want me to come up there to be apart of their insurance company. 9 months ago they had opened this new office and have already become one of the fastest growing offices in Washington. Well I had so many different options after all this. I wanted to make a choice before the new year. So I started to consider all the out comes of each opportunity. Here's what I figured out. I want to start looking into having business as a big part of my career. I know that both summer sales and the insurance company would provide this. The summer sales would not be a long term thing though. As some of you may know me I need long term commitments when it comes to work. So I thought that doing the insurance company would open a lot more doors for me in the long term. The risk of both jobs were still there, but the long term benefits were huge when comparing. So I chose the insurance. With Total Health and Fitness, again I have loved this job more than any other job i've had. It really was the best thing for me. I have gotten so much out of that job knowledge, skills, and friends. I will miss working there, but I am sure I will always have a hand in that place one way or another. I feel like this will be the best thing for me right now in my life. The best part about being young and single is having these opportunities in life come your way and just being able to try new things. So for now Fitness world good-bye but I'll in the future.
