The 29 laws of how NOT to be a GOON

What’s up guys!

I just had a few things going through my mind this morn and one of them was about this blog. I named it Evolve for a reason. Evolving is more than just adapting, it’s about change, changing what you can’t do or don’t like today, and taking shit to the next level.

I or anyone I interact with want more than just to get by. E.T.S. is about crushing records and achieving goals that only you thought were possible, it’s about completely getting out of this robot lifestyle we basically put ourselves in and becoming who we are meant to be.

This is a list that I try to live my life by each and every day. I’m not going to say I follow these rules to the Tee but I do my best. I am human just like you so I do break a rule or two but not because I want to, just because I am a little gooned out, it happens.

I didn’t make up most of the rules on this list, but these are a few of the things I’ve learned clients’ friends and family… Thanks for guiding me in the right direction!!!
