I technically only work 5 hours a week. Correction, I only get paid for 5 hours of work a week but I there's a lot of work that I do that consumes my energy and time. Here are some of the projects I'm working on here:
1. MJKO Coaching
Mentoring Juniors Kids Organization is a nonprofit boxing club that trains kids under the age of 18. They train out of a club but also are involved at a community centre and run some afterschool programs at the neighbouring schools. I am very much interested in getting involved with this, I love their mission and what they stand for, and to do so I have to get my police background check and first aid course done so that's what I'm working on.
2. Rock Steady Boxing
This is a boxing program designed specifically for those dealing with Parkinson's disease. It is being ran in the States but they are looking to bring it north of the border, here in Canada. I've been approached by a fellow boxing club coach here in Toronto and am considering persuing it.
3. Wheel Dance Ballroom Dance Volunteering
This is a once a week volunteer opportunity for me where I'd be an "able-bodied" dance partner for someone who is in a wheelchair. I don't have any ballroom dancing experience but I think it'd be an awesome experience, I'm sporty and I'm a fast learner. The only problem I'm running into with this though is that it's located so north of the city and so I'd be looking at well over an hour in commute one way.
4. March Break Boxing Kids Camp
The manager at System Fitness approached me a while back about creating this and running it at the club during March break. It's a go and I'm excited about it.
5. Business Proposal for Boxing PT at System
I've had numerous System members approach me and ask me if I'd be able to train them one-on-one with boxing but because I'd be using the club's facility and they have sponsored me I feel it's only right for me to talk to them about how to set this up. I could go and get paid under the table but I for one don't want to build up bad karma points and I think that'd totally abuse the sweet deal System has already given me. I approached the manager about this and he told me to figure out my pay expectations and details so that's what I'm working on now.
6. 90 Day Meltdown Program Revision
This is a diet program that my coach used to offer at our boxing club and now he's bringing it back. It needs revising though as all the forms and whatnot were created by a trainer who no longer works for him. This has become my newest project but already I have a client waiting for me to implement it.
7. The Flip in North
I can't go too into detail about this but basically it'd be the launch of my third business. Right now I'm debating whether or not I want to start it or remain a participant in the businesses of others. I have a lot of potential clients and even a potential sponsor but I don't have the contacts here in Canada like I did in Korea and running a company in Korea engulfed all my time, energy and money. I don't know if I want to become fully consumed 24/7 by a job anymore. I'd like to take on a more active participant rule with three businesses I'm leaning towards and I have taken steps to do so but to be the main leader, I don't want that right now and I'm hesitant as to whether I want to be the top dog anymore. A leader yes but the pack leader, not sure.
8. Seven Models & Talent Agency
I've been approached about doing some extra work and whatnot by this particular agency but am hesitant to pursue it because it means getting some professional photos done. None the less, I'm super curious about it and, if anything, could definitely use the photos to further advance and promote my boxing career here in Canada.
9. St. Joseph's Hospital Volunteering
Awhile back I went to a volunteering meeting at the hospital but since then my schedule has really filled up with things to do and extra projects. I was hoping to be a lunch time volunteer but am not too sure if I have the energy to do so anymore because of all the other things I'm trying to juggle and secure.
