Hey everyone Benkur radio episode number 374 today you are with me for the

Monday micro show so today I want to talk about qualifications in life, in your career, in your profession, and the reason

I bring this up is we run a nutrition course, the BTN Academy, and I have certain qualifications that qualify me and what I do and

there's always a train in the fitness industry because it's the industry I'm in so

doing a lot of courses around you know the physics and

you know different tooling and all that kind of stuff can be really positive when you work in an

industry that is based on, you know, having a grounding in a set of theories.

So let's take nutrition for example, that's important, but so is the art and the dynamics of applying that.

And the reason why I bring this topic up today is there are people that are on this relentless pursuit of more and more knowledge to then validate that they can be good or adequate at their job.

Then they can then go out and sell themselves and be proud of what they do and if I was to look back and

look at all the amazing work that I've done in my career and how often people have asked me to see my qualifications.

Now I've been in the fitness industry for, let's say 12 years and I've done a certain amount of qualifications and I stopped doing those

qualifications when I knew that the best thing for my career was to go out and

do it. Go out and do it and learn on the job. And of course keep learning

and keep being stimulated and keep getting mentoring. I think that's really important. I think

not enough people in life get mentoring

whatever career you're in get mentored or have someone that you can talk to that is
