      About Me
      I'm Mike, the owner of an athletic development company called HPC. I recently quit my financially secure day job to 1) finish my PhD and 2) take my business full time. It's a risky venture and a major redirection (hence the blog name) in my life. I love food, hate sleep, and want to be my own boss. I have mild OCD and ADD but I will always post, so please come back if you are interested in following this venture and maybe picking up some random bits along the way.

    5 Things I’m Thankful For

    What a Week!

    I’ve had an incredibly busy and exhausting past couple weeks. Especially the last 2 weeks or so. Don’t get me wrong though…I’m not complaining. I figure if a small business owner isn’t overworked... More »

    Working In or Working On Your Business

    Over the past month one of the realizations I’ve made is that I’m spending too much time working IN my business and not enough time working ON my business. Part of this is to be expected being a small business... More »

    Reluctant Marketing

    As I’ve mentioned a couple times before in this blog I’m basically a do-it-myself startup. I have quite a few people around me who are very helpful (and I’m very grateful for their help!) but for the most... More »

    Know Your Limits

    I’m generally the kind of guy who tries to do everything themselves. If given a task I’ll generally try to figure out how to do it myself and take care of it. This ensures quality control and allows me to continually... More »

    Fitting in Fitness

    Sometimes my schedule is so tight that despite owning a training center with more weights than I know what to do with, I find it hard to fit in time to workout. In fact, there are some days when I’ve spent most of the... More »
