Well I haven't journaled in almost two weeks so it is difficult to get in the details of the last 12 days. However, these days have been riddled with stress of juggling a number of projects. I have gotten little sleep however my business stays on pace.

This weekend competed in the Garage Games and had to do the following workouts as a team:

Workout 1: 100 Burpees, 100 wallballs 20# medicine ball, 100 pull ups, 100 double unders, 800 meter run, 100 thrusters. Thrusters killed me - need to work on these.

Workout 2: 100 Ground to head anyhow 95#, 100 deadlifts 225#, 100 1.5 pood kettlebell swings, 400 meters of lunge with 45# plate overhead.

This week is week of extremes - want to have an extreme week in business!!

I am having an incredible week in business. I have been able to get atleast one new project every single day. Yesterday I had to do a consequence for not keeping my word and that was trying to match Peter's 500 pushups in a day. I did not meet the goal but I did do 300. Also had a great workout at crossfit completing 12 rounds of 25 double unders and 200 meter runs in 20 minutes.

The goal continues to be to stay organized and deliver consistent results to clients. How can I deliver a service as consistent as the McDonald's Cheeseburger?

Had a nice and relaxing weekend. Time to rest and ponder.

Incredible week in business - closing atleast 1 new deal 4 out of 5 days. As a consequence for not completing my company core values had to do 500 pushups in one day which I failed miserably but instead did 300 pushups 2 days in a row.

Tonight going to Tango class and the challenge this week will be staying organized and producing results for Online Art Group and Energetix Direct. Lots of meetings this week too.

My goal this week is to define my purpose and core values for the business.

Time to Fuck the shit out of life!

Well less than a month to go and time to really get moving. I started my day off strong this morning with a tough workout called Cindy. I either tied or broke my record by completing 24 rounds in 20 minutes. 65% of the time my brain was telling me I couldn't break my record however I just tried to grind through it and do my best. With around 5 minutes left, Toby said I was on 19 (I thought I was around 13 the way I felt and the thoughts I was feeling) and inspired by the surprise cranked out a quick five to finish. The toughest part is the pushups because each round is 10 so it gets tiring pretty quick. I know if I can establish a strong diet for the last few weeks I should be in good shape for regionals.

Work wise - have to put in some solid days. Im backed up and flurried with opportunities. Time to step up and hit some singles and doubles sprinkled with a few home runs.

Have to connect with my partner today.

Been thinking alot about my purpose while reading Way of the Superior Man. The purpose that I must uphold and come back to before taking any decisive action.

What is my purpose, why it is it so elusive to put into words, in the past i have stated different purposes, the last I remember was to do everything with purpose but that really does not answer the question. Even to love and give my gifts fully seems to lack something.

If I had to state my ultimate purpose now:

To live with presence, clarity, integrity, an open heart, and vibrant energy.

Ok great...how do I do that?

Another assignment I have had is to create my core value for my business.

To deliver innovative and affordable marketing services while building client relationships built on integrity, clear communication, and performance _base_d success.

Ok this is the final week of the game. What I will focus on this final week is what I wanted to focus on this entire game: The Fundamentals.

1) Daily Partner Call
2) Mind Dump & Time Block
3) Falling Still Regularly
4) Journaling

Also, I want to make sure in this time of extreme busyness that I maintain my word and live my life to its utmost integrity. Do not make promises I cannot keep or do not truly intend to keep. Mostly, my problem is trying to do too much. Trying to always squeeze more in & never saying no have been two horrible habits that I have struggled with this game. The result has been consistent tardiness in everything and falling short on integrity and not keeping my sacred word.

I am thankful and grateful for all my blessings. I continue to have high appreciation for my body and health. Eating well, balanced but lots of fresh foods. Also having my dose of fun and playing with friends. My brother, Mauricio, has finished his tour in the Army and will be taking a vacation to South Africa for the World Cup with his wife Karla. I am excited for them and inspires me to live with courage and free from fear. This is my male core that always yearns for freedom (freedom of self _expression_ and freedom of living)

I could feel this morning, the stress in my partners voice, the past days have been wearing on him and it was evident. Even his tone of voice and choice of words has been affected. One of his principle goals is to lose 25 pounds over the course of the game, he has 5.5 left to go. In the past, he would always attack this feat with brazen confidence, but today I felt his vocabulary and tone change around this goal. I hope he steps up to the plate and completes his goal.
