Beware of a Deadly Disease Rampant Amongst Modern Day Business People Known as "Victimitis Excusitis!"

Consider what the average body of a modern day business person does every 24 hours: Your heart beats 103,680 times. Your blood travels (circulates) 280 million kms. You breathe 23,040 times, inhaling 9,463 litres of air. You eat more than 1.5kgs of food and drink about 2.5 litres of liquids. You lose almost 0.5kgs of waste. You speak 25'000 words. You process over 50,000 thoughts. You move 600 muscles. Your nails grow .001168mm, your hair .0435356mm. You exercise 7 million brain cells.

Compound that with high-tension living. Relentless change and uncertainty. Psychological stress. Sleep deprivation. An extra 158 hours (the equivalent of an extra month of working hours!) added to our annual working and commuting time. Physical inactivity. Addiction to stimulants. Sub-optimum nutrition.

And you wonder why you're tired?

There is an energy crisis in modern day business, and it has nothing to do with fossil fuels or the price of oil. Millions of business people worldwide get up each morning, already weary about what the day holds for them.

Energizing the Business Athlete™ (EBA) is redefining how to prepare business people to excel with a powerful new vision that needs to be shared. One that will seem very "unfashionable" to most, but one that is necessary to prevent premature death, discourage irresponsible behavior, and empower modern day business people to start living intentionally rather than accidentally! People who wish to ignore the powerful message of this new vision will do so at their own peril. 

• A new vision that says - resistance to change is a serious threat to progress.
• A new vision that says - achieving balance in your life is much more important than the balance in your bank account.
• A new vision that says - start putting core values above personal gain.
• A new vision that says - don't ever confuse the two, your health and your work. The second is only part of the first.
• A new vision that says - when is enough going to be enough? This "faster, further, more" work ethic is no longer working!
• A new vision that says - embrace responsibility...don't shift it!
• A new vision that says - If you want to excel in modern day business then you must make your health not only important...but urgent.
• A new vision that says - you don't need to be fit, but you do need to be healthy!
• A new vision that says - whatever you do with your time off the playing field of business will affect how you perform on it.
• A new vision that says - spending 1.9% of your weekly time to completely transform how you think, feel, and perform is not a cost...it's an investment.
• A new vision that says - we can live in the present without compromising our future.
• A new vision that says - titles, position, and material possessions all exist but they can't save you from becoming the richest person in the graveyard...prematurely.

Some, if not all, the principles of this new vision will seem unorthodox and shock most people with positional status - in fact many will proclaim they're "impossible."  Why? Why are they impossible? Most people are so concerned with over-indulgence, positional status, personal gain, instant gratification and the acquisition of "stuff" that they've missed their God given right to someting better...a greater quality of life. Remember this: Change or be changed. Keep this one truth in mind and you will be able to anticipate change before it's forced upon you! And on a final note; despite all the nice clothes, make-up and perfumes that we wear, underneath lies the beating heart of an animal - an animal that has evolved over hundreds of years, but an animal none the less. And this animal is not designed for the concrete jungle of modern day living combined with office stress such as sitting at a desk for long hours, emails, mobile phones, push-button technology, family upheaval, sleep deprivation, traffic jams and constant uncertainty.
