How Failure Saved My Life.

I'll never forget my First Solo Flight. This picture was taken while doing my solo flight before my final approach to the runway. Soon after this picture was taken, I found myself experiencing one of the most traumatic moments of my life. I found myself utilizing all my past experience and training when another Pilot had decided to fly a reverse pattern in unauthorized airspace. The Pilot had met up with me on final approach was about to land on top of me! I could have easily panicked and made the wrong move which would probably have killed me. I instead remembered the things I was taught and kept my cool and thought out my next action. My lessons in Pilot training, life, and business, taught me that there is always time to make the right decision. It's so easy in life  to hurry up and make a quick decision. Don't feel bad if that is you, many people operate that way, I was one of them. You see, It actually saves time or maybe years if you take the time to make the right decisions. How do you know what is the right decision? Your past, that's right rely on your past!  You should be drawing from all the bad decisions and good decisions you have made in life. How? Remember what factors caused your bad decisions and figure out what you could have done to change the outcome! Good decisions are easy, just remember what factors caused you to make the right decisions! Those factors are what I like to call THE FACTORS OF LIFE LESSONS! This is what makes you who you are today. Ok, on with the story. I had to make the decision to do what many of you would think is the last thing anyone should do in this situation. Yep, I pulled all power off! I know it sounds crazy but it was my well thought out decision. The plane was directly above me, I did not have enough time to go faster since he was descending on top of me. I could not turn left or right because I would have clipped his wings. I did have enough time to go slow enough to let him fly down and in front of me to make his landing. After he was clear from me I pushed full power and flew out of the pattern.After the incident I realized how fortunate I was. I thank God that I had the training I had and the life lessons to reflect on. I drew from one particular failure in my life when I made a decision to quickly with better options available. In this situation I took the time to explore all my options. Always let something from every failure become a life lesson. Failure is not a reason to quit, It is an opportunity to learn. I am alive today because I choose to learn from mine.

Making it Happen!

I needed to improve my life, Plain and Simple!

You see, at the time I needed two things in my life,1.) My health back.
2.) I needed financial freedom.
Yes I bought into the whole thing about how P90X was going to get me ripped, healthy, and get my high school body back.
I watched the commercials over and over again until finally I knew it was my time to get what I wanted out of life.. This P90X was going to fulfill the # 1 on my list but little did I know # 2 was going to happen as well. Four years fast forward and not only has P90X improved my body, health, and life, but my lifestyle as well! Because of my transformation, I wanted others to experience what I had experienced. I educated myself on what was necessary to become a P90X coach! It was a lot simpler than I thought and before you know it, I was signed up! The extra income has enabled me to do things with my family that I could not have done.  P90X has changed My Way of Life in so many ways that living it is the only way to experience it. I have helped hundreds of people set life goals, get in shape, and earn extra income by becoming a coach themselves. 

So with that being said, I am looking for 2 proteges to take under my wing as a coach. Because of my busy schedule I am only able to effectively train a couple of coaches at a time. No experience is required, just a desire to change the life you are living.  To be a coach is to have your own low overhead business. For aprox $40.00 you will get your own websites, training, and the satisfaction of working for yourself. Remember, to get different results you have to change what you do on a daily basis.

God Bless!

Since I am a Veteran of P90X and it is my Vette, I had to buy the appropriate plates!

Enjoying Life

Recently a new life was brought into this family. It is a true gift from God. I feel compelled to teach every and all things that I have learned to my family. Thus is the cycle of life. As different as all our lives seem, they are so very identical. Life and death are inevitable. All of us have a choice no matter what environment we were brought into. The beautiful thing about life is that you can change the direction that you are headed at any time. To many times I am approached by people who have accepted the bad hand that they have been dealt in life. Those people have ether blamed their situation on someone or a situation. You see, life has options and you have one chance to live your passion. I have many people that I give advice to that have started with the attitude that they have to many things that they can't change. When I ask them to give me an example they almost always have the same answer; "I don't have enough money to change my life" or "anyways it's to late for me". Let's address the first response. When I first started out I didn't know what I was going to do. I did not go to college until I was in my 30's but I knew that at a young age I was going to be successful no matter what it took! I had no money to speak of but had tons of ambition. What I found out was, that life is tough! I never gave up, made my mistakes, but found a way to succeed! You will make many mistakes but YOU MUST LEARN from them. DO NOT LET your failures destroy the rest of your life. YOU MUST brush off the dust and get back on the horse! If you do not act on your failures, they will consume you like a cancer. Make things happen and all other things find a way to fit in. I think we put that to rest! On to the second comment. The truth is it's not to late for most people! Let me give an example; the average life expectancy of a male in the USA is 76 and 81 for all females! The average range of people I talk to are about 30 to 50 years old. Lets do some math. 30 year old people have 61 % of their life left if they are male and 63% of their life left if they are female. They have not even lived half their lives but are willing to give up already and live the life that they are unhappy with! Once the facts are laid out it doesn't make much of an argument does it? Now, lets take a look at the 50 year old. They have 34 % of their life left if they are male and 38% of their life left if they are a female. I am 52 years old and I am taking advantage of the full 31.6 % of life that I have left! How? I am keeping myself in shape, changing it up everyday, taking myself out of my comfort zone, and never giving up!
I want to encourage you to live this one life with the passion that consumes you. Act on it and become it! Life is short and should be enjoyed with the ones you love. But remember to make others happy, you must be happy with yourself.

God Bless,

Terry Spencer

Do You Deserve Happiness?

I have so many people that I come in contact with on a daily basis that seem to be so unhappy. Is there anything I can do to help? I am a person who never quits until I accomplish something so why can’t I help these people! After trying to help these people find happiness I soon found that there was nothing that I could do. So where does the help come from? Help comes from within ourselves. Where do you start? First we have to examine consistency. I found that consistency can be an asset and a destroyer. For example, if you have a successful life and you don’t want your lifestyle to change then you are not going to do anything to disrupt it. On the other hand if you are in a daily routine that brings the same unhappy outcome day after day then you should change it right? Almost in all situations I witnessed I found that the most miserable or unhappy people never change their habit or routines. Without change, things never change! Makes sense right? So why if these people are so unhappy do they never change their day to day routine? After talking to some of these people I came back with the same general answer, “no I can’t do that”. People “can’t do that” because they choose not to. The comfort zone they are accustomed to gives them a false security that it won’t get worse, the truth is it will never get better ether! The question that needs to be asked is, do you deserve to be happy? If the answer is yes, then why? If you can answer why you deserve to be happy then you have just given yourself the motivation to get out of your comfort zone. Change is not easy, but with the right motivation you can propel yourself to a happy lifestyle. Find out your “whys” and then make a plan to give yourself the happiness you deserve, NO EXCUSES! Remember that we mostly use excuses to make it alright not to finish something. When you don’t finish something it creates a sense of failure. Failure loves excuses. Excuses allow failure to grow until you are beat down and just submit to it or most commonly put “quit”. Once you quit on something you always wonder if you could have succeeded if you would have kept going. How many of you have thought, I wish I would have done this or maybe that! The fact is this, life is short and you have one life to achieve happiness. If you are reading this then you care enough about yourself to make a change.
Teresa and I needed to make a change in our life. We wanted something that would give us some additional income in just a couple hours a day. We also agreed that we would make a list of what this venture had to involve. The list went like this; 1.) Since we owned other businesses it could not take up all of our time,  2.)We had to enjoy and have a passion for it,  3.) It had to be something we could do together, 4.) We wanted to create more friendships, 5.)We wanted to do it from our home with minimal investment and overhead, and 6.) We needed to have fun doing it.
 After checking into many things, the answer was right in front of us! We had started working out to P90X and got our (older) bodies back into shape. We felt much better, looked better, and changed our lifestyle by getting into shape. We still workout almost daily! We were having people always asking us how we stay in shape. After giving advice to so many people we decided to become coaches!
We were already helping people but becoming a coach could give us some extra income. We have been coaches for over 4 years now and love what it brings to the table! We met all of our criteria's of what we were looking for and coaching introduced us to many new friends! Not to mention it surpased the amount of income we were hoping to accomplish.
Never give up on your happiness, you deserve it. Start your change today by setting a goal, putting a plan together, and following thru. Don’t let anything or anyone stand in the way of the happiness you deserve to have.   CLICK one of the buttons below to learn more about The Coaching Business and why we choose to do it in our spare time.  We will reply back to you immediately.
