2012 – A Year of Interesting Challenges

Posted on December 15, 2012 by Chris Le Roy

I guess this year have been one of the most challenging for me and my company however, it has finished off on a massive high. This year has seen my company grow extrordinarily from our course ranges to our student numbers.

This year we had our 5 yearly renewal in which everything went smoothly and we have had a range of new courses added to our scope of registration including:

1. Advanced Resus
2. Accredited LVR
3. Cert II to IV in Business
4. Cert IV in Small Business Management

We have seen our first aid numbers grow again this year by 18% which is amazing and our total student numbers grow by 28%. What this tells me is that we are on the right track in help our students achieve their goals and we will be continuing to expand over the coming 12 months to help service an ever greater area.

For the first time in 2013, I will be expanding our courses to allow people through out Queensland to attend our classes via the web. This means that if you are in Mackay, you will be able to do a Townsville Microsoft Word Course using the GoToTraining technology. We tried this out in 2012 and it worked fantastically, so we have decided to offer all our courses via this technology.

From 2013 all of our Microsoft Office courses will be Nationally Accredited and this means that when you do the course you will earn competencies towards either a Certificate IV in Business or Certificate IV in Small Business Management.

It has been a fantastic year for my team and I. We have seen some people come and go and there will be some new faces in 2013.

I would like to finish off by wishing you a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. Please note my team and I will not be closing over Christmas and you will be able to continue your training right through.

Please Help Us Support Movember

Posted on September 25, 2012 by Chris Le Roy

I would like to ask for your support for my Fitstuff Trainers as they raise money for Movemeber….During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in Australia and around the wo…rld. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health.

Nate, owner of Firstuff For the last two years have fundraised for womens charities. This year they have decided to give the men a go! Having a few team members personally affected by depression and prostate cancer, made this an easy choice!

I would like to encourage all of the 10,000 plus clients who support me to support the Fitstuff team by helping us raise and donating to this valuable cause. As you know I personally have had a scare on the prostate front and have certainly seen first hand the impact depression and male mental problems can have.

We all to often forget our men and so this year supporting this cause will change that.

Surviving Adversity and Turmoil!

Posted on September 23, 2012 by Chris Le Roy

Well its almost 11 pm and I am sitting on my balcony in Townsville drinking a cup of coffee, reflecting on my life over the last 39 years. Where I am and where I am going…. this reflection has been brought on by many people asking me the question … Where has my strength come from in the face of all the adversity and turmoil?

How is it that I have picked myself up and become a stronger person?…

I wanted to share with you my philosophy, as many of those who have asked these questions are members of this page and are searching for answers just like you.

My inner strength comes from one thing, having a clear understanding of my lifes purpose…. My purpose in life is to inspire success in others, through my actions, leadership, passion, integrity, honesty, direction, support and continuous encouragement.

I have thought honestly everyday whether I should become a bitter and twisted person like many others who have endured hardship… I realised that I love the person I am … I love the love I have in my heart, I love my kindness, my energy and the magic I have in my life and I have shared with others.

Why would I ever want to give that up?

Everyday just like each and everyone of us, I endure the challenges of fear and anxiety which can be at times debilitating….to the point where you don’t want to move forward… you just want to hide, stay in bed. So many people, wish for a different life…. but are stuck by fear …. How may I fail if I do this or that!

This fear and anxiety can affect you in whether you get up and exercise, whether you meet new people, bring in new business, get out and have ago or even be prepared to move on with your life… even if the path you are taking is in the opposite path to the people you dreamed you wanted around you.

How do I overcome it? Well I look in the mirror and ask myself one pertinent question… What purpose does this fear or anxiety serve?

I continue to ask myself this question, until I recognise that it serves no purpose and I ask myself, “Are you ready to let go of the fear and anxiety.” What happens when I let go?…. My body changes and I feel a surge all over, I get a feeling of fearlessness. When that fearlessness enters my body, its bathes me in strength, focus and energy.

I am then able to get on and achieve what it is I want. We allow fear to steal our dreams….

We are only on this planet for a short period of time…. we have to live the best life we can… the life you live is now… not yesterday … not tomorrow. Its now… what can you be doing to make this the best life ever!

Get out now and do it!

Major Changes that have Occurred

Posted on September 8, 2012 by Chris Le Roy

I am just letting everyone know there have been some major changes in my life. In July 2012, Dee and I have decided to seperate. We have decided that our journey in life has taken two very different paths and we have made the decision to go our seperate ways. This decision has given both of us the opportunity to meet new people and have different people in our lives.

I am still continuing to write my book however the title of the book will change to reflect my new life… Chris Le Roy’s 12 Months from Fatty To Happy. The book is now going to incorporate my journey in doing the Kokoda Trail.

Our separation will in no way affect our business and everything is continuing to operate as normal and I am more than ever energised in taking One-on-One Professional Business Training to the next level

I will answer any questions anyone has just email me privately.

Help Me To Raise $100 in the Bridge to Brisbane Fun Run

Posted on July 22, 2012 by Chris Le Roy

Okay so I have been doing some crazy stuff…. this year (which my wife doesn’t know yet) in that I have been training for the Bridge to Brisbane and I want to raise money for Plan ….. formerly PLAN International. I have been a sponsor of children from various countries including HAITI through PLAN for more than ten years. I have not been able to do it for a few years and I want to do something …to change that by doing this sponsorship.

It is an incredibly rewarding experience and one of my most treasured gifts is a hand crotched hanky that I still have from one of the children I sponsored in Haiti. This child in particular turned 18 and graduated from this program. This year I thought I would do the Bridge to Brisbane to help raise funds for PLAN which I personally know does awesome work around the world.

I would love you to sponsor me…I have a modest target amount of $100 so I would ask you for your support. This is something very very close to my heart and for many years I have not had the money to do this and this is my way of supporting this important organisation. You can sponsor me in this years Bridge to Brisbane and Plan by visiting my sponsors page. To donate towards my quest ….. click here

P.S. If you can only afford to give up a coffee for one day …. I am happy to take your $4.00

Congratulations to John Le Roy

Posted on July 8, 2012 by Chris Le Roy

I want to congratulate John Le Roy for being nominated for the Employee Awards for Quest Newspaper.

John has been an integral part of the One-on-One Family for the last five years and without his dedication and help in the first aid arena we would never have been able to transform the company and train over 400 students per month.

We will find out on the 3 August 2012 as to whether both John Le Roy and One-on-One Professional Business Training have been successful in winning our Business Achiever Award and Employee Awards.

Extension of our $99 First Aid Courses

Posted on June 25, 2012 by Chris Le Roy

For the month of June 2012, I have been offering our First Aid Courses for just $99 instead of the usual $150. Well the demand has been so overwhelming I have had to extend it so that no one misses out.

Many of our courses have been booked out, which is fantastic, but I know many people have been missing out, so to ensure this doesn’t happen I am extending the first aid course price of $99 to the end of July 2012. After that the prices will increase.
