Week 7. Mid game report

August 26th, 2007 Tony A

Where do I stand.

Health/Fitness.  Overall a successfull first half. Down 14lbs body fat, increased muscle mass by 10 lbs. Still not enough on the aerobic side so I have a renewed committment to improve. Overall a B+

Relationship. My wife and I are communicating better than we have in two years. A-

Partnerships. There have been a lot of distractions for the game partners the past few weeks. Being experienced it is up to me to step it up a notch. So here is my formal apology to my teammates. I will play more thoughtfully and consciously and push you to do the same in the latter half. I do feel a bond with Lori and Rod and anticipate that we will remain in touch after all this is over. They are both amazing people.  Grade B.

Spritual/Self. I have made some major committments to myself and family. Elements of fear and concern exist but I believe them to be the right decisions. I am guilt free, remorse free and do not regret anything from my past as all if it has brought me here.  Grade A.

Business. Time constraints still abound and I have been continually calling myself back to focus throughout the day. Not nearly as efficient as I can be. Part of this revolves around the business purchase arrangements. Part with my role as head of research/investments—which serves the overall good of the cause but distracts from my business building efforts. Grade C.

The childrens book and balance book.  No progress in two weeks. I have made more notes and outlines to the balance book but no concrete writing. Not finishing the childrens book has no excuse except for laziness. I told the story again to my son—I just need to finish wiriting it down and block the illustrations.  Grade D

Education. Have scheduled the first CFP module exam and am ahead of the study curve. (Of course it helps that I have been doing the business for 20 years—so there is little excuse for not getting this designation years ago). Regardless—I will complete the course and be ready for the final test within 18 months.  Overall I’m a knowledge junkie. I am still learning that I DON’T need to read everything that comes across my desk (that’s why we have research analysts). Lot’s of paper now get’s recycled unread. Grade B+
