one hundred miles and a marathon

Monday 2.40am the start of a new week I have had an interesting last three days on arriving back to work I had a brief encounter with a rather young African American man who asked the price of a ladies bag he said it was a gift for an aunt I told him the price of the piece and my company area manager being the retail trader that he is asked him if he wanted to buy it and he said he did not know, as the gentleman walked to another area in the store my manager said "That means he can't afford it " long story short the man purchased another bag and left, but not before leaving a flyer about himself and his amazing achievements in the world of finance. He is an author of three best selling books and was a millionaire at the age of 14 his name is Dr.f G. As I staired at the flyer which explained all that he had done and achieved by the ripe old age of 24 I began to realize that the desire to succeed is the most important of all. It dose'nt matter which age you are what your background or race is or even your circumstances if the desire is strong enough you will succeed. My power is still on, I did an automatic bill payment arrangement .took about 4 minuets on Saturday morning to take away my fear of that bill payment and I can pay on Friday the 5th for my marathon registration so my dream of running it on Sunday shall come to pass. My goal this week is to complete one hundred miles before the marathon on Sunday I have logged up about 87 miles since my first five mile run 3 months ago so this weekI will do a couple of runs at red rock and rest up for the big one. Oh and by the way I have decided not to beat myself up about not being exactly where I desire to be right now I have been pushing myself to focus but not allowing myself to feel grateful about my life as it is at this very moment this has been causing me to get stressed . After seeing the news reports of the Mumbai tragedy I realised that life is to short to be mad at my self I have stopped complaining and just accept my present situation, in this way I can be proactive rather than reactive I become a Victor and not a victim. As a new week starts I have a new business focus I have started researching and working on the business plan for a tanning salon, each day of the last three I have made one step to bringing this new idea to fruition.

  2. Tanning salons make money, and you don't have to do anything! Equip each tanning bed with one of those iPod stations so clients can enjoy their own music. Use marketing techniques for a recession - "Can't make Cabo this time? You can still look like you did!". Remember most tanners are women so you need a welcoming feminine environment when your customers walk in...
