Finally I have accomplished one of my short term goals. I work for a web development company who has developed an awesome Content Management program called Aptuitiv Studio. For the past few months I have been working with one of our partners to design a new look for my Jiu Jitsu club The Foundry. Jon and I reviewed the mockups and thought it was the look we were going for, so we gave the go ahead to move forward. Now the site has just launched and I think it turned out great. Be sure and check it out if you have some time to kill www.foundrybjj.com.

It feels good to have accomplished one of my goals. This goal doesn’t help me on the mat or anything, but it does help out my club and all of the students who attend. I hope they like it as much as I do. Sometimes setting small goals for yourself in Jiu Jitsu can prevent you from getting burnt out. Sometimes I will set a goal for the month, maybe even the week or sometimes down to the roll I’m about to have. Even if it’s sometime like pulling off a certain sweep, progress is progress, no matter how big or small. If you do this for yourself I think you will feel more successful with your Jiu Jitsu journey.
