The hardest part of my boxing isn't the actual training, the boxing, it's the walk to and from the boxing club. When I look over and see that big Telus building starring back at me. It's in that building that I want to launch Empowered. This time next week that building will either be mine or it won't be mine. Already the walk to the Philippine Army Gym is a hard one because I see that building. This time next week, it'll either become a super happy one or an incredibly sad one.
It all comes down to what goes down this Wednesday.
Less than a week, less than a handful of days.
I gave my investors until Tuesday/Wednesday to tell me how much they're investing and on Wednesday I have to tell MegaWorld whether or not we're taking the space. If I get at least 4 million pesos invested, I'm taking it. If I don't, I can't.
To want something so bad and to be so close to either getting it or losing it... wow.
As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.
