Jeffrey L. Klump “My Second Home” Dateline: Creve Coeur, MO. USA/October 21st, 2021/Written by: Jeffrey L. Klump The gym has always been my second home.  The first gym that I ever trained at was George Turners in Dellwood, Missouri in the late 1970s.  It was at that gym that I knew I belonged.  That gym, in particular, had real tough guys training there with names like Jay Rosciglione, Greg Tuck, and “The Beast”, Tom Sumner.  I remember Sumner having 7 or 8 plates on each side of the barbell deadlift and that barbell was bouncing up and down like a rubber band.  Guys were in there yelling and screaming while training and that was just a little intimidating for a skinny 15-year-old kid at the time.  Over the years the names and places of gyms have changed, but for the most part, I have always been comfortable at the gym.  It has always been a place for me to destress and clear my mind along with strengtheni...

Originally published on Aug 26, 2021 By Paul Cowan The Day I Stopped Selling and Built a Business The advertising agency I’d joined was the most competitive and ambitious in London. Building business was hardwired into every one of us. Competition with other internal teams as part of the process. Jumping to the top of the queue above other teams for the next new business prospect gave us more opportunities for winning new business. We were trained to present, to sell, and sell again and again. And I was desperate to succeed. Failure could be challenging. Our creative teams could be fearsome to deal with. Emotions ran high — sometimes way too high, with unpleasant consequences. I planned to stay for a year or so. But twelve years passed quickly, and I ended up running a big group. The rewards for those of us who succeeded were good, but I wanted more. Refusing the Jab? Click Here to Start Earning $4500 Per Week or More! I took a big, big risk and start...
