Second Half Focus 2013 — New Heading

In January 2013, I set out with three foci beyond taking care of my family:

  1. An Obstacle Course Race – 5k Foam Fest done
  2. Learn Spanish – a good bit done
  3. Business Project – ended the 6 months on a high note.

Focus-for-Second-Half-of-2013

Now that we in the second half of 2013 – I have a slightly new heading

  1. Prep to run a 10k & do at least one more Obstacle Course Race
  2. Continue to learn Spanish & put more emphasis on it
  3. Improve the skills I need to better serve my clients
  4. Build a B2B business focused on Real Estate Investors

1. Prep to run a 10k & do at least one more Obstacle Course Race

The next OCRs I want to do tend to be about 10k in length. My top two are Superhero Scramble … which I want to be brought to Nashville … and Savage Race.

Both have much more interesting obstacles than the events I have been doing .
I’ll also want to do them with a team.

Today I sarted a FREE 4 day per week training for a 10k that will be finished in mid September through MiCoach.com

2. Continue to learn Spanish & put more emphasis on it

For the past two months, maybe three, this has sorta been at a stop.

Now that The Foundation, a course I was going through, ended and this past month had a major project, I intend to work more.

I’m at a point where when I see Spanish I can generally grasp a good bit of it. Spelling is easier though hearing it is still rough for me.

I’ll continue to use Duolingo, especally since they have an Android app now.

3. Improve the skills I need to better serve my clients

I think back to Jim Collins’ wonderful book Good To Great. The first chapter is titled First Who; Then What. Well I am working on getting some more who’s, improving my skills as a project manager, recruiter, and hirer … along with Marketing/Sales/Copy Writing skills.

 

4. Build a B2B business focused on Real Estate Investors

I’m committed to helping the Real Estate Investor (REI) market.

REIs do a wonderful job solving problems and improving our society.

This is the practical application part of focus 3.
