moments where you have to play a waiting game, but you have to be active. When I see something starting to work out, I go, “Okay,
well, that’s working. Now, I could turn my attention to something else.” You absolutely should not do that from my experience. Until
that project is completely finished, and can stand on its own feet, do not avert your attention from it. Even if you are trying to do
something else in that moment, if you have the capacity to, then fine, but do not take your hands off of a project.
2.) The importance of passive income and I’ll use a term which is not really a universal term, but that you need what I call a Float
Income. So, Float as in if you’re not starting from a place of wealth, you need to either have a part-time job or have a job that can
kind of offset costs for your business and I say that in that all of the money that your business is making initially, you need to funnel
that money back into your business and have a snowball effect and continue that process until you get excess. You take that excess
and invest that in that until your business is making enough that you can start to pay yourself a salary. So, year one, year two, year
three, - doan look fuh nain’, and even if it comes, don’t take it unless it has gained a significant surplus, or you’re going to end up
dipping into your business fund.
7. What is the latest in your training career?
I’m working on getting knowledge. I have a couple projects that I am working on – the biggest of which is one for the youth – to
increase the activity of the youth or let’s say physical activity of the youth of Barbados, and we also have a project coming up that
has to do with tourism. I can’t really say too much because it’s a really hush, hush project but it’s something that could change the
fitness game not only in Barbados but in the Caribbean. So, that is definitely what is up. I really want to create opportunities for
those who are coming after me, you know, and especially not from the traditional aspect. There are some people who are just born
with natural talent and natural abilities and I want to tap into that and help them to monetize that, you know? So, you may not be
the smartest guy in the world, whatever, but you may be able to do a muscle-up, or maybe able to jump really far and be able to do
parkour. I want to create a medium through which these people can excel and be paid for it.
8. What is the next step in your training career?
Well because of my mentality and how I think, there are always so many steps. So, for me personally as a trainer, it’s just to get
as much knowledge as I can. I’m lucky to do lots and lots of travel next year for many different conferences, meeting different train-
ers, meeting different exercise enthusiasts, social influencers and stuff like that, just gathering, gathering information and obtaining
that plethora of knowledge. You can’t pass on information if you don’t have information. You can’t educate if you’re not educated in
some form or fashion, and that doesn’t only mean traditional academic education, but helping people to grow so that’s my personal
next step - to gain as much knowledge as I can, educate myself, and continue to grow.
