Fitstylers 5 year anniversary – launched Melbourne Cup day 2006
Tuesday, November 1st, 2011Well, we beat the odds.
We made our Fitstyler 5 year anniversary.
It’s been an amazing journey helping hundreds of people improve their health and fitness. And we’ve made some awesome friends in the process.
We officially launched the Fitstyler website on Melbourne Cup day, 2006 and, as the race was run, we were doing some last-minute tinkering to get it perfect before going live.
The folks at Acorn Web worked tirelessly to bring Fitstyler to fruition. However, none of this would have been possible without the support, belief and commitment to the new business from my amazing wife, Sue. She not only gave her personal time to develop the graphics but helped with all of the other stuff that happens behind the scenes that people rarely see.
The majority will probably spend a big portion of this day working, whether it’s for an employer or in their own business. It’s worth noting that, apart from sleeping, there’s no other activity we engage in for 8 to 10 hours per day.
It just goes to show – anything is possible in life when you put your mind to it. Whether it’s working in your chosen profession or on a new business idea, make sure it’s something that brings you joy and happiness.
You can quickly become unmotivated and find that the daily grind affects other parts of your life and those you care about.
I am very fortunate that we have a fantastic team that helps make the business a very special part of my life. Add the mix of amazing people who’ve become part of the Fitstyler ecosystem - our clients and suppliers – and we have the perfect recipe for happiness.
We can choose to be happy or unhappy in our lives. I can testify that happiness perpetuates more happiness.
Ultimately, what makes an awesome life are experiences and people. When these two essential elements are in place, the sky’s the limit.
I look forward to what the next 5 years will bring.
