Mind Your Own Body Updates

Hello Health and Fitness Guru/Aficionado/Enthusiast/Slug:


My blogging has started out lame and continues to be...  I am still trying to get my footing with blogging and find the time to not only write something substantive, but make it relevant to your personal health and fitness.  And, in the process make it entertaining, cutting edge, sarcastic, motivational and inspirational ALL at the same time.  Did I mention worthy of national publication?  Don't you see the tall order I have created for myself and why I struggle with what to write and why I can't sleep and why I have no hair?


I thought I would update everyone on what I and Mind Your Own Body have been up to.  Basically relentless self promotion to garner more business and expand my business horizons.  OK, I know this is shameless self promotion, but because I am admitting this, it's OK right?


Truthfully business is slow and I am aspiring to influence a larger audience and spread my wealth of knowledge and experience to a broader market.  Essentially, I was feeling a bit stale after almost 20 years as a personal trainer and decided to up my game, take a few leaps of faith and have fun in the process.


The most exciting news is that here in 2012 I finally have a Mind Your Own Body web site - www.mindyourownbody.com


Also, I am now on Thumbtack, (www.thumbtack.com), a one-of-a-kind local and nationally based referral service and web site that can provide a resource for just about any type of service you can imagine.  There are no fees for the consumer/end user and all of the businesses listed on Thumbtack are legitimate and have been reviewed and approved exclusively by Thumbtack.


I spent several hours developing my listing by writing about the personal health and fitness services that MYOB offers by answering tons of questions.  I would love it if you would take a look.  If so inclined, you can even write a review if you are or were a client.

Finally, there is also a Linked In MYOB Company page that you can follow if you are a Linked In member.

And, the final drum roll please!  MYOB is now on Yelp, a web site for the people written by the people containing reviews and critiques of just about every business in Washington, DC and beyond.  Yelp was at one time dismissed of their impact, but now Yelp reviews can greatly impact the success of a business and their web site hosts opinions that are quite influential.

There are many other things in store for Mind Your Own Body that are a big secret, but I will say keep your eyes and e-mails open for the updated MYOB Newsletter coming soon and look for us on the top social media channels on the Internet.


As always I absolutely welcome and will only grow from your feedback.  Help me help you publish a better blog.  I would also love suggestions on any topics (related to health, fitness and wellness) that you wish discussed, dismissed, endorsed or joked about.  After all this is my Blog and I can say anything I wish, well almost.


Stay fit, sane and well,


Kevin
