Write it down

I don't have a dog in this race.
Meaning, I have no product to promote or
System I think would transform your life
And business. Some how you've all had
Determined you would rather be the one
Driving the bus than be a
Passenger...which I believe is awesome!

In 2009, I ran the San Francisco
Marathon with my friend and coach Gil.
To be completely truthful, the only
reason I did the damn thing was because
Of Jim Rohn! Yeah!, Jim Rohn!!

I ordered one of his goal setting programs
And the very first exercise was writing
Down your goals for the next 10 year's
I'm thinking 'No problem!' the man is
giving me 10 freakin' years!

So I write
any and everything that comes to mind. I
don't remember all that I wrote but the
Marathon thing running was the
memorable.

It gets better. He now want
you to figure out which of the items
listed could be done in 5 years...then
3 and finally 1year. While narrowing
down a good friend of mine who has died
since then, suggest I go for the
marathon.'The marathon?' was the last
thing of all I wanted or even had a real
interest in doing in the next year.But I
was committed to setting goals for
myself even if it kills me.

Did I mention I hated running?! After I
returned from the doctor to have my foot
removed from my mouth(just kidding), I
Joined a running group called the "L.A.
Legger's". Every Saturday is getting up at
5am to drive to Santa Monica and do the
very thing I despised doing...RUNNING!

But you know, I discovered what Rohn was
talking about when he said you need a
Definiteness of purpose. And it all
Started by just writing it down.
