Today, I put in my 2-week notice at the bank and my last official day will be April 4. I am taking the vacant full-time position of lead trainer at my gym, Metro Fitness in downtown Columbus, Ohio.

This will greatly increase my availability and allow me to do what I love, helping people improve their health and fitness. This is a big move, but now is a really good time. I am psyched!!!

Not only will I spending more time in my own gym, but I will also be doing more online programming (diet, training, contest prep, etc.) for those not in Ohio. This business is taking off for those that need such specialized guidance.

Other initiatives include a beginner DVD and my own bodybuilding show in May 2009, the INBF Buckeye Classic in Columbus. Let's do this!!

Thanks fellas! I can breathe a huge sigh of relief now as I have been putting in 65-70 hours between the two jobs...and hating life 9-5.

I worked in corporate banking as a treasury management sales officer. Sales for 3 years and analyst for 2. Gained much experience that I will take with me into future business ventures. Good time to get out of banking.

Yeah, he may need that DVD.

He does need to purchase a diet plan, so he can get his genetically gifted butt on stage!!

You ain't bull shittin' at all! I'm looking into possibly getting out of lending and going into auditing type work. Anyway, I won't hijack your "quittin my day job" thread. I think you'll be a helluva lot happier where you're going.

that's almost like a quote of what john madden said during his hof speech

he said his father didn't want him to work during his child hood years so he could enjoy being a kid...then madden said still after all this time he didn't work a day in his life b/c he did what he enjoyed....BOOM!

good job rich ....im gonna be in the corporate world here in a few months and don't know if im gonna look forward in it or not

lifting and women my two priorities in life!

Clean thread huh? Yeah, I usually stay away from that stuff when I'm at the bank surfing, haha. Free time...I don't plan on sitting on my butt that is for sure.

I plan on spending the next few months conquering the lunch crowd first, enhancing my web design skills, getting my own workouts in earlier so I can train more later, doing entirely different continuing ed work to diversify my services, promote my bodybuilding show in 2009...you get the point. No rest if I want to do this!

Roids- Yes, the past few months have been brutal. Try working at National City.

cc-10- Don't fret the corporate world. I enjoyed it for a few years, but just found my passion elsewhere. My experience will serve me will in the future.

Azfit- I dig that. It is catchy and it sounds damn good to me.

Op- A 16-week precontest diet would run you $150-$175. Spread out over 4 months of course. See this page http://www.richbodyfit.com/services/. Paypal processes the payment, so no check is in the mail BS.

Every one needs help. I even go see a trainer.

I'll definitely keep everyone posted over the next few months.
