Do You Bounce?

Posted on 06/24/09 23 Comments Circa early 2000

The title of this post covers many topics. First of all I ordered a rebounder last week (at least I think I did). It should be home when I get there (I hope) so I will be bouncing regularly.  My mom used to use one when I was a kid. For more on Rebounding check [...]

Posted on 06/22/09 18 Comments DSC_0104

No I don’t mean moron Mastery I mean more-on mastery:). Since writing this post last week I have had a number of you that have offered to move to Alberton to achieve the immersion I suggested when wanting to learn Italian. I am flattered you would have picked our program to model, but the impracticality [...]

Achieving Mastery

Posted on 06/19/09 11 Comments Tony Robbins

Last weekend Lynda and myself went to a 4 day Tony Robbins workshop. Talk about intense!  50 hours of learning between the hours of 1PM Thursday and 6PM on Sunday, it was complete immersion and didn’t leave much time for sleeping or eating. However it was time well spent, I can’t say enough about it. [...]

Become Inspired . . .

Posted on 06/07/09 12 Comments

Some of you may have read the dialogue I had with Donna Rock yesterday on the blog. Donna posted a video or herself which reminded me of these other two. Donna is an amazing person, be around her for only a few minutes and you can not help but be inspired. The inspiration does not [...]

I Don't Get It . . .

Posted on 06/06/09 51 Comments

I was talking to a business colleague yesterday and he used the phrase “Buck Fever.”  He spoke about how a marksman on the practice range can hit any target in any situation or environmental [...]
