Issue 5
WELCOME TO ISSUE 5 OF RAISING THE BAR
Hey everyone
What a crazy time we’re in right now! When we released Issue 4, four months ago, I’m pretty sure I didn’t expect to find ourselves in the continued situation we’re in right now.
For those of you who, like us here at FITREC, are based in Victoria and are living through Lockdown 2.0 and trying to run a business under these trying circumstances, our hearts go out to you – we feel your pain and we
share it.
With potentially more time on your hands than you’d like, we figured a bumper issue of Raising the Bar could at least help you enjoy a good spot of reading with authors who have helpful, proven tips that can potentially help you swerve from despair to repair!
Enjoy our pages. Look after yourself and others. And keep being kind. United, we can all pull through this together.
