Starting A Business

Dear Reader,


Welcome to my first blog post on my experience in starting a business, and quite frankly, something I should have done a while ago (starting a business I mean). One of the few goals behind this blog is to educate someone and possibly convince them to make that step forward and starting their own business. Obviously, it'll differ from person to person and business to business.

My story starts with a simple little idea that grew over the years and with the help of a friend of mine, we were able to take that dive into the deep end of the pool - literally, just to see what happens! If it works out, it works out! If not, then we learned something and we'll try again.

Everyone is into social media these days, not really much into reading. Especially not into blog posts. but surprisingly, I've learned a lot more from reading articles, websites and other people's experiences, than reading Instagram posts, through snaps, or Facebook posts. Oh sure, it checks out as clear and reliable, right? But do you ever click further and actually open up a new window to research a particular topic?

Join me on this small, maybe insignificant, journey through the thoughts, designs, investments, stress, financial difficulties, the rough world and harsh realities that are out there. My goal is to educate you, show you that some things are bad, others not so much, and even others, quite rewarding. you might ask, what is BBF, CO? Well, it's a fitness studio company I started with a friend of mine because we got tired of the nonsense behind personal training, chain gyms, and the b.s associated with low quality, uneducated places trying to rip you off, not care about your fitness progress, just your wallet. And trust me, I have plenty to say - you just might learn something new!

Stay tuned, and enjoy the ride.


Cheers!

The SMART Plan

Dear Reader, You've probably head this one before in school at some point: create a SMART goal. To break it down, here is what a SMART goal is: S: specific M: measurable A: attainable R: realistic T: timely My definitions might a bit different, but they work for me specifically. Put this in words that YOU can understand, remember, and in a way to help you stay on track. A specific goal you would want to reach, and since this will be fitness related, I'll stay to that tone and environment. A specific goal would be something like "I want to lose 30 pounds" - specific, right? There's a number, there's value to it to, might pose a few questions but its there. Measurable: self-explanatory. Something you can measure. Not just the 30 pounds by itself, but you can measure it in other ways like jeans for waist size. Or your favorite shirt but can't fit in it anymore. Maybe it doesn't have a value, but you can measure it by trying out clothes. Attaina...

First Things First

Dear Reader, "Who the heck is this guy writing blog posts about starting a business? What does he know?" You might be asking yourself a few questions, or perhaps, asking me or would like to know. Feel free to skip this post, I'll just give you a bit of a background on me, who I am, where I come from, some of my experiences, education, motives, and desires to pursue a career of my own - since there doesn't seem to be a job out there for me, nor do I feel like working as a corporate dog and waiting for my treat. Yes, definitely might not be as lucrative, but there's more to life than just money - and these are the words coming out from a twenty-eight-year-old who still lives with his parents and has three cents in his savings account. My great-grandmother was born in Chicagoland suburbs, somewhere. Not sure, never asked, never bothered, but would like to find out more. She moved out to Europe in the early 1900s, to Poland. My grandmother was born there and ca...
