Been a while but that means that lots has happened. Unfortunately, I only get the chance to blog when when I don’t have a 13 hour day and there haven’t been too many of those lately. We moved my training center in to our new bigger and better location in Cary, NC and are loving(…)

The Move to our 1st Business Home…Part 1
So 2 weeks ago my lease agreement was finally executed by all three necessary parties which meant it was only a matter of time before we’d be able to move my company in to our new business home. We were supposed to have already moved in on July 1 but the current tenant (the group(…)
Overloaded
The last couple days I’ve been teaching at a USATF Coaches Education school and I’m exhausted. Day 1 had me teaching for 3.5 hours; Day 2 for 7 hours; and Day 3 for 3.5 hours. It worked out to 14 hours of speaking in a 44 hour period. Needless to say I’m sick of hearing(…)
A Business Update
Sorry it’s been a while. Infrequent blog posting on my part means that I’ve been overwhelmed with work. The good part is that it looks like things are all finally starting to fall in to place with HPC. I found a great facility that’s actually two to three times as large as I was originally(…)
Full Circle Again
My last blog post was about how things seem to go in cycles. Well today, I had another experience of this happening. 4 months ago I moved to Cary, NC from NY (by way of a short stop in OH) with the idea that I’d be moving in to what is at the time a(…)
Property Hunting Update
The last 2 weeks I’ve devoted much of my time to nailing down a place to set up my training facility for my business. I’ve got about a 7 mile radius that I’m looking in that encompasses most of Cary, NC and some of Morrisville and Apex, NC. I’ve scoured craigslist, loopnet and all the(…)
Startup tips from My Last 3 Months
Ok…picking up where I left off, when the opportunity to operate my business out of the Impact Athletics center fell through I was scrambling to find another place. Mind you, I had had back ups all the while (tip 1). Number 1 backup, if you can even call it that, was the original warehouse I(…)
More Waiting
So to continue where I left off yesterday, much has happened in the last month or so. First the Impact facility opportunity fell through due to a complete staff overhaul from the ground up. Then things quickly picked up as the very people who had brought me in to that deal (only to later be(…)
Expecting the Unexpected
Well, I’ve had a whirlwind couple weeks since my last post. In many ways it’s been painfully slow waiting to hear back on things. In other cases things have changed fast and furious. I’ll lay out the developments over a series of shorter posts. The quick low-down is that my situation with the Impact facility(…)
Still Waiting on Facility
Conspicuously absent from my last mega update post was any new news on opening my training facility. The reason for that is that there is no update. In fact, things are exactly the same as they were 2-3 weeks ago. I’ve actually been through enough of these things to realize that I tend to be(…)
