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.

Crunch Day... Sunday, May 19

Sundays are always a bit rough and not just because I have rugby training in the midday blazing sun or have to go back and forth to BGC because of it and church, but because Sundays I write my new weekly goals for the upcoming week.  Writing new goals are one thing but with them comes the reminder of all that weeks goals I had mapped out and set for myself the week earlier.  I end up always putting extra pressure on myself on Sundays to try to at least get one more goal conquered. 

This week I only got 4 of my 10 weekly goals accomplished.

I'm feeling a repeat of anxiety, an increase in it, and I know it's been spurred by the fact that deliveries of my furniture and equipment is taking forever and a day.  Orders are randomly being canceled after weeks of waiting for them and, of course, there's plenty of wild chicken hunts I've been on with regards to finding the right equipment that I want.  

Perhaps Korea spoiled me with the speed it functioned at.  I swear, coming from that to this, it's almost as if Korea functioned at a speed faster than lightening itself.  Filipino time kills me and I feel like way too many companies I'm trying to deal with are working at half the speed of Filipino time.  It's getting ridiculous.  

I'm not a patient person, I know, but this makes me incredible anxious.  Wow.

I want to launch a soft opening of Empowered Clubhouse at the start of June.  Is this possible?!
