In September of 2015 I found myself at a crossroads in my career. For the first time in my life I was unhappy with my chosen profession. Waking up at 4:45am every day and coaching until 8pm at night was starting to take its toll. I could literally count the hours on my fingers that I actually spent with my children. I was constantly tired and lacked the additional motivation needed to make Precision the success I truly wanted it to be. Needing to make a change I began to search for other avenues to improve my life. Some idea’s were drastic while others were more suttle. Through this process I began talking to friends and family to get their advice. Rob Miller was one of these people. He is very successful in his own right and he has a love for people that is unconditional. When Rob gives you advice it’s from the heart so I took it very seriously. Rob and I spoke daily about changes I could make. Our conversations were casual. Many ideas were thrown out there. But it got my mind racing. Did I not love strength & conditioning, or was I just unhappy with the current position I was in? I came to the conclusion that I needed to drop something. I had to work for me and only me. I loved strength and conditioning but it needed to be on my terms, at my gym at this point in my life. So with much guidance from Rob and a ton of support from Greg Smiley and my family I made the very frightening leap. I decided to jump full time into my baby… Precision CrossFit. What was the point of having my own business if I was not going to make it my life? I also fell back on focusing what I love to do which is remote programming and coaching. Along with all these endeavors I also started a grass-fed meat company with Rob and my best friend Travis. I guess we can say “Plaid Cow Society” was my drastic change, haha. But it’s been great thus far and what I have learned from Rob being his business partner and friend has been priceless.
I sit here writing this birthday blog for my dear friend Rob Miller from a cabin in Big Bear on a Thursday in December. I’m now free to do as I wish when I wish. Due to Rob’s advice and friendship my life has been forever changed. He helped give me the one thing more valuable then money back… time. I guess advice coming from a man who has beat cancer a handful of times can be pretty valuable when it comes to time, haha. Rob… thank you for your friendship, your advice, and your constant support. Happy birthday! Enjoy!!
