Here is What The Mcgregor And Floyd Fight Should Teach Us About Life
#2 Will Shock You!
McGregor And Floyd, David And Goliath, Audacity And Strategy!
The McGregor And Floyd fight was a 10 rounds of life lessons happening in front of our eyes but we didn’t know it yet ( and the last round was probably the reason why)

It was the first time ever that an MMA fighter was going against a boxer. Beyond that, the fight and promo run had key moments that made us reflect a lot about life and success.

Saturday August 26th, the whole world was watching what could’ve been hypothetically the first loss for Floyd Mayweather but history repeated itself once again.
Mayweather won by TKO and as expected the world is making sure that Pretty Boy takes back home McGregor’s pride along with the belt.
I can already feel the tomatoes sliding down my skin for saying this but my question to you is this: “What if Conor McGregor was also a big winner although he lost the fight?!”
We’re not going to get in details on the technical side of the fight but more on the mindset and lessons we can get from it.
Today we will overview all the hidden life lessons that the McGregor and Floyd has thought us (besides the fact that we all secretly want to cash out too)

1. It Takes Confidence & Guts To Get What You Want
We said it earlier, Conor McGregor has a big mouth but he knows how to use it. He understands that this big mouth of his was the best asset he had especially when a camera was around.
McGregor used the media to his best advantage knowing that Floyd usually gets things into motion when the media questions his ability to fight.
Even though the idea seemed ridiculous and impossible, McGregor kept the public’s eye into one subject: can an MMA fighter beats a professional boxer?
MMA fighters have been looked down on for years but now with this little gate that McGregor and Floyd opened, I bet you we will see more and more of this in a near future!

2. Mayweather Fighting Style Is A Metaphor About Strategy And Self Control
Floyd has been called out many times because of his fighting style. Due to the violent nature of the sport, we expect boxers to do knock outs all the time and be ferocious on the ring (not Tyson ferocious though).
I always thought that Mayweather‘s approach to boxing was as psychological than technical. Getting your opponent upset because you can’t be touch while still making technical points after each of his attempts is actually a strategy that paid off for his whole career.
Having him running around the whole ring trying to knock you out because this will mean the world to his career.
All of this goes back to emotions and self control. This is a reminder to never let life situations (in this case a fighter making another hit on his bucket list) get the best out of you.
You will never fulfill anything by being angry or not trying to think it over before acting. When you let emotions take control, McGregor‘s confused face at the last round is the only result you will get.

3. Those Who Win The War Don’t Always Write History After
Legacy wise, this fight has different meanings for both McGregor and Floyd. For Floyd it’s the perfect sheet a fighter could dream of but for McGregor it means something you would of never thought of.
Conor McGregor didn’t prove he was the best fighter at all but he proved that the he could be the best ambassador for the MMA as a sport.
He didn’t prove that all his trash talks are more trash talks but he proved that he could be one of the most entertaining fighter of his era.
For Floyd’s it’s the end of a flawless career but for McGregor it’s the beginning of something bigger than being an MMA fighter.
Ps: he also proved that branding and marketing is e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g too!

The End Of An Era And A New Start: Dress To Kill Magazine Goes Digital
A New World Order
I hate to break it down to you so abruptly but the world is changing, the world as we knew it, the way we consume, the way we think and even that good old Dress To Kill magazine is going through it.
Read More: Learn About The Black History In Montreal With This New City Tour
As a young and inexperienced blogger back in 2016, I felt deep in my earth that paper was a dying medium and that the internet was about to carry the torch.
a hundreds of blog posts later, multiple attempts at building an online presence and literally trying to digitize the aesthetics & creativity I saw in magazines growing up.
I must admit 2 things: 1. what it takes to make fashion or information enjoyable is very hard to put together and 2 building an audience on or offline is a GREAT feat.
I grew to admire and respect my peers in traditional media because they made the most out of nothing at a time where Facebook and all those outlets were not a thing.
In case you didn’t know, Dress To Kill magazine is not your average magazine by any shape or form.
Promoting Canadian art and fashion from province to province was something seemingly unthinkable but they got it done.
From iconic covers with Lenny Kravitz and more iconic nights at le Mount Stephen to bring the whole industry under the same roof, DTK got it done.
Don’t take what I’m saying as a farewell note because today actually mark a rebirth for the publication.
Indeed, while the world was going all over the place, they went on a well thought out rebrand.
As you might have guessed, the biggest take away from this is the stoppage of the paper version of the magazine.
The focus is now digital but as I told you earlier, DTK doesn’t go halfway.
Their new platform will include an online boutique which once again is going to focus on shedding light on Canadian creators for men and women.

Do you think more magazines are going to make a full transition to digital?

We Ask A Personal Development Coach How To Overcome The Ins and Outs Of The Crisis
It’s all about your point of view
Everything You Need to Know Through The Lens Of A Personal Development Coach
I’m always amazed at how people like to stigmatize the role or relevance of a personal development coach. They’re quick to label it a scam, a fad, something based on nothing but little they did know, they’re coaches around the world who impacts millions and millions of people in a life changing way. I was looking for the equivalent of a Tony Robbins in Quebec, my research undoubtedly came back to the same name: Marc Dumaine.
Read More: Here’s What I’ve Learned About Myself Since The Coronavirus Crisis Started
Mr Dumaine is more than a personal development coach, he’s a man with a story.
Not your average story either. From overcoming alcohol and drug abuse to obtaining a MBA to running campaigns for some of the biggest corporations in this province. Here’s a man of many battles.
Honorable mention too, these days Marc is focused on creating an international platform to impact as many people he possibly can.
The bottom line is this. This personal development coach is not unfamiliar with trials and tribulations, changes and transitions.
That’s why to me, in a time like this where everything is doing a 180 degree, I had to pick his brain and ask him how can you and I get over.
In this Q&A, we indeed ask Marc Dumaine about several things such as how to bounce back from the crisis, his keys to success and much more.
QUESTIONS FOR MARC DUMAINE
#1 How did you figure yourself out as a future entrepreneur and what was the key factor that made you take that route?I was always an artist at heart and found that I didn’t it in any mole. After completing my MBA, I realized that my biggest assets were my differences. I decided at that moment to stop following what people expected from me and launched my own business. To me being an entrepreneur is an art form in itself. I have never regretted that choice since I launched Asana Coaching 10 years ago. #2 How can someone go from being self-employed to an entrepreneur making money without physically being there?The internet is booming with opportunities right now ! Even with the COVID-19, there is a redefinition of the way people consume products and services ! It is a TIME for being creative and look into endless opportunities ! Get out of our comfort zone and start being inspired by people who are already doing it ! Then, build yourself a right game plan with an amazing branding, and you are all set for the best adventure of your life.
