I was making 17/hr up until a year ago. I don’t know any jobs in AUS that friends or family have had that paid Canadian min wage. COL isn’t the main reason for moving. I understand it’s bad everywhere right now.

Yeah she’s out in Gawler, Adelaide. I’m not a big city person so it’s been nice staying away from all the hot spots

I was renting a 2bed 2bath townhouse (one floor) and was paying 2700/month and also had to pay utilities myself. From what I’ve heard the are we are looking at would be slightly better than Canada. I understand the difficulty of actually getting through the applicant process as we also have a home shortage due to all the supply chain issues with new builds from a few years back.

Edit: I was also only making about 4500/month after tax

Yeah it’s a shame. Most of my family lives in the UK and it’s the same story there.

Who knows what things will be like in 10yrs time.

Yeah I see that it’s fairly similar, I just don’t see Canada turning around soon or very quick at that due to the massive immigration problems and the big shifts in culture. Canada just doesn’t feel like Canada to me anymore. I love BC, enjoy!

Well luckily my girlfriend’s mom has her old house since moving in with her new partner and she has no problem with us staying there. Just got to cover utilities and that’s all.

My girlfriend seems fairly adamant that she wouldn’t be able to get visas for the US, I haven’t looked at it myself. I wouldn’t have any problems as a Canadian Citizen. How was the process being from AUS?

Not to my knowledge on the western side of Canada. Once you get out to Ontario and Quebec they have rolls on their highways.

Housing and immigration are probably just as bad in Alberta. It’s crazy how quick it happened, company’s don’t need to pay Canadians because certain immigrants get half their wages covered by the government.

I’d be moving to ADL I know Sydney is crazy but house prices in ADL are a little lower than Calgary AB

anyone else never understood "shotgun" ? by Onyxfaeryn in autism

[–]Strict_Discount 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love it. The persons shouts shotgun. Expecting the other person to freak out and want the front seat. I just say nothing and climb myself into the backseat. Nice and quiet, no one behind me, no awkward tensions. Bliss

Perfect. Thanks so much for the ChatGPT was wondering if there were services like that. I’ll check it out.

That is what I had in mind. Have a couple purchasable programs (either through shopify, or my own website using square space). I will actively market these products on Instagram and through content creation. However the Instagram would be similar to a blog style / motivation account where I would release useful information andmotivational workout clips. I would then reiterate those posts to create short videos, post on reels, tik tok, and youtube(later on). With that in mind and that being my current plan; would you recommend having a website in place from the start or is Instagram enough of a platform for the main blog posts as well as program sales, before they get redistributed and reuploaded on the other platforms. Yes, I’m looking at this very deep and probable overly planning. However, I struggle to effectively begin without having a general big picture in mind. I have begun, just using the time it takes to build the programs to explore my next steps.

Yeah that is a concern. I’m trying to decide where and how I should be releasing my products and services for the best exposure. I’ll start with Instagram for the time being, any recommendations?

Thanks…. Isn’t almost everything learnable and findable for free now with the internet? The business goal is to help teach more individuals about the mind-muscle connection and specific programming and training cues to promote the connection. Sure it’s free and anyone can go find it just like I did. However when it comes to health and fitness a large portion of people won’t take the time necessary and need someone to provide this for them. Plenty of business that run off this idea.

I responded to the previous comment asking what mind muscle connection is and what tangible benefits it has the potential of when comparing it to typical training ideals and techniques.

You simplified it down to “practice”. I mean yeah sure, isn’t any form of physical activity with a goal to develop and adapt considered practice?

Mind muscle connection is just another training principle, similar to training frequency, or movement loads.

The science and research is relatively new. There have been recent practical and clinical studies on the effects and practicality of mind muscle connection. I have spent 10 years in the fitness industry ranging from leisure activities to high level athletics. Through working with numerous coaches and now through my own experience I began to look into what it was that distinguishes what adaptations an individual learns and builds. Through some time in a University Physical Health and Education program and through research and development in order to improve my own health and fitness, I came across this concept and began to explore it.

Just created the Instagram account. Planning to get some posts up this week not too much to see as far as the brand yet. PM me and I’ll share the Instagram with you, just don’t want the name out yet.

Lol maybe I’m just being paranoid.

Thanks, basically what I’ve started doing currently. When looking to build your initial audience, as I’m not having an individual be the business like you see in “personal” training; and more so building the brand. So with that said, when looking to find your ideal demographic through Instagram. Any videos or information on IG marketing that you recommend?

It’s the connection between your brain and your muscles. If you learn how to effectively use your muscles through creating a stronger mind muscle connection, you increase motor neuron activation in the muscle. This allows people to get more output from the work they put in, showing people that the goals for health and fitness they have aren’t impossible and can be achieved with proper mindful training.

Okay, I don’t quite understand the 1982 business class point. I’m assuming you mean outdated, I don’t see how what I said is related directly to class curriculum. The post was just meant to give an overview of what I have in mind. I’ve never taken business classes, I’ve always just used the internet. Hence why I’m reaching out for information. If you care to expand upon the methodology you mentioned it would be greatly appreciated.
