I often share lessons I learn in Karate and how they apply to life and business.
Today I let you see it in action. I have never been particularly acrobatic. I can't do a somersault or a cartwheel. When it came time to do a shoulder roll, I was skeptical.
I did it, and I did it better than I thought, but I still tended to hit the group pretty hard.
Then I learned the secret...
When you hesitate, you hurt. When you go all in, you roll like a ball. It's like that in so many parts of life and business.
When you go all in, you dramatically increase your chance of success, and nothing hurts when you're winning. It's only when you go half way, dip a toe in, or just try it out that you land flat on your back with the wind knocked out of you. So when you approach a challenge, kick it like a shoulder roll, full force.

Really excited to have finished this Ibanez RG7421 conversion for a friend of ours!! This is an early 2000 RG7421 (made with a carry over single piece maple neck from the 1999 7621’s). The 7421 from the factory is a dual humbucker guitar with no pickguard, 5 way switch, volume and tone controls. I converted it to a straightforward single pickup shred monster. -Removed existing Pickups, components, and wiring. -Installed Single Humbucker / Single Volume control pickguard on face of instrument. -Fully copper shielded all instrument cavities. -Installed new tailpiece ground wire. -Installed Hipshot 7 String Ibanez FP Guitar Bridge in black (4IBF07B). -Re-Installed original Ibanez V77 pickup in bridge position. -Re-used original Ibanez 500K volume potentiometer -Installed Treble Bleed circuit on volume control. -Wired instrument with Gavitt 22ga cloth covered wiring, used central star grounding point. -Cleaned and setup instrument in Drop G# tuning (G# D# G# C# F# A# D#) 📷 by @majorawardphotography #1428guitars #ibanezrg #customguitars #guitarsofinstagram #guitarrepair #ctsmallbusiness #grotonct #rg7421 (at 1428 Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/B89UQhPgBmz/?igshid=19rmhdwv9l1h

Hey hey Connecticut! It’s been a long time and I’ve been missing you. Excited to come back and see old friends. The time just flies. When I first came to the USA this was the first place I lived and where my first baby, Isa was born 18 years ago. Any of our followers here in Connecticut or have visited? ❤️ - Khadija #connecticut #grotonct #mysticct #cthenna #traveller #roadtrip #henna #hennasooq #jagua #hennatattoo #hennaart #mehndi #holidays #mehandi #hennastain #hennalife #happyhennalife #saturdayvibes #positiveenergy (at Groton, Connecticut)

236th anniversary of the Battle of Groton Heights
Top photo: It had rained nearly all day Sunday, but in the middle of the commemoration speeches, the clouds broke and the sun beamed in, creating a rainbow behind Fort Griswold. In the foreground (inside tiny fence) is the stone that marks the spot where American Lt. Col. William Ledyard was run through with his own sword after surrendering to British forces under the command of Gen. Benedict Arnold on Sept. 6, 1781.
Second photo: A short ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to mark the completion of the new stone outline of the original barracks (you can see the lines on the ground behind the group). Ground-penetrating radar was used to determine where the barracks foundations had been.
Third photo: Volunteers with several American Revolution-related organizations and historical sites took turns reading out the names of the 88 American rebel soldiers who died defending Fort Griswold during the battle.
Fourth photo: Wreaths were laid at the foot of Col. Ledyard’s marker to commemorate those who fought and died in the battle.
Fifth photo: Reenactors conduct a three-volley salute.
Sixth photo: After the salute, the reenactors filed out of the fort, a somber display as the sun was setting.
