			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-853 alignleft" style="margin-left: 4px; margin-right: 4px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; border: 2px solid black;" title="fitness-toolbox-1" src="http://ashleymahaffey.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/fitness-toolbox-1-150x113.jpg" alt="fitness-toolbox-1" width="150" height="113" />Your physical fitness is <em>not</em> an accessory, but a necessary tool in your outrageously successful business.</p>
<p>Being maximally productive to crank out products and services of tremendous value requires energy, and lots of it!  However, many people choose to invest in the accessories &#8211; website make-over, flashy power point slides, software, another training seminar, a posh outfit, etc &#8211; before considering to invest in their physical fitness.</p>
<p>Hey, clients aren&#8217;t buying your stuff (website, powerpoint slide, elevator speech)&#8230;<em>really</em>.  They are buying what you are able to uniquely serve up that impacts their lives.  How about offering them your best?  Which begs the question:  Are you truly giving from your best position?<span id="more-839"></span></p>
<h3>Leaders Who Are <em>Smashing</em> it!</h3>
<p>I work with many successful speakers and trainers.  They are all passionate about their work and their commitment to physical fitness increases their energy to blow away the competition.</p>
<p>What is clear to me is that after investing in their physical fitness my clients&#8217; specific content doesn&#8217;t change.  They don&#8217;t all of a sudden get more knowledge to pass on to their customers.  However, the energy around delivering their message does increase.</p>
<h3>Cost of Your Handicap</h3>
<p>If you&#8217;re not making time for personal care and creating a holy hour  it is not only hurting your optimal health but your ability to serve your customers and get paid for doing it well.</p>
<p>Holding space for regular exercise will raise your game.  The truth is that if you are educated, disciplined and focused on the goal of being physically fit the end result will be that you look and feel dynamic.</p>
<h3>After the Honeymoon</h3>
<p>After, the courting phase with your fitness wanes and the lusty newness wears off the real challenges set in.  Travel, family and work obligations look more attractive.  But, mastery over your weight, strength and energy are achievable.</p>
<p>I encourage you to get a mentor or buddy to hold you accountable.</p>
<p>And, I&#8217;m in the business of building champions.  What I know for sure is that everyone has a champion inside.  But the champion inside of each one of us requires that we make the choice to step into our big girl shoes each day.</p>
<p>Step up!</p>

<p><span><span style="color: #808000;"><strong>Successful</strong> in your mindset.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808000;">a <strong>Respected</strong> and <strong>Disciplined</strong> physical presence in your business.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808000;">intimately <strong>Confident</strong> with your spouse.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808000;">living <strong>Fully</strong>. </span></p>
<p><span><span style="color: #808000;"><strong>Honoring</strong> <em>all</em> that you were created to be.</span></span></p>
<p>The above is an excerpt from a past post.  It reminds me that I need to implement my clearly defined fitness strategy to maintain excellent fitness habits in 2009.  I am equiped to overcome the bumps in the road that are sure to come up regularly, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>overcoming scheduling obstacles</li>
<li>mastering a workout for travel</li>
<li>nutrition insurance during and after dining out/special events</li>
<li>mindset keys to overcome distraction from family and friends</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Top 3 Areas Influenced by Your Physical Fitness</strong></p>
<p>Achieving the image you have for your fitness success will positively impact your relationships, health and wealth.  These three are woven together.  A powerful physical presence is not only respected by you, but by those that love you, buy from you, and joint venture with you.</p>
<p>The physical is impressionable.  When you cross over the chasm of where your body is now up to where others have successfully gone before then you change your mindset.  And, limiting beliefs are shattered in all three areas.   </p>
<p>So, what could that mean for you in this new year?</p>
