Welcome to the first in a series of weekly challenges. This first one is “nothing alarming”, and anyone should be able to do it.
Simply pick a time you’re comfortable waking up. Set an alarm, and wake up when it goes off.
What’s the challenge here? For some it may be waking up to an alarm. But here’s the kicker… No using the “snooze” and you have to wake up at the same time on the weekend (and tomorrow if you have it off).
To join the challenge search in coach.me for “WC01” or go to my goal page where you can find it and join in. Each day when you wake up to your alarm, be sure to “check in” on coach.me.

Me and the infamous puke bucket got very familiar today. Can’t remember the last time I felt this lousy (don’t think I have at least in my adult life)
Good to be with family. (the people, not the beer 🙂
Rest in Peace Grandpa. You are always in our hearts and on our minds.
Wow. Just the other day I received an updated report on what my 2012 birthday campaign helped achieve and I have to say I’m absolutely floored. The $1001 we raised helped over 860 people!
Let me say that again, you helped over 860 people.
There’s a reason I’ve always been a big fan of charity:water and these types of results just help to reinforce that belief. Take a look at the projects here: Project Page
Wow. Just wow. And THANK YOU!!!
Please remember to subscribe to the newsletter or feed to stay up to date!I sit here on the eve of your death some 15 years ago. Of course I’ve had a few and have been listening to Runaway Train and Crazy Train a number of times. Not even sure why I’m writing this, but of course I do. It’s because I miss you. My girls miss you. And they never met you. You eliminated that possibility.
For years I’ve tried to come to terms with why you did what you did. I still can’t say I understand. I can’t say that I’ll ever be able to let it go.
Try figuring out how to explain suicide to a brilliant 6 year old, or a 4 year old that won’t stop asking questions. Sure I’ve read the articles. The thing is, kids aren’t dumb. So instead we just stick with the fact that Uncle Scott died. We already have to deal with tears just for that fact. Often for no apparent reason.
Why not just write this in a “journal”? Because the thing is that in the “adult world” we like to gloss over the issue. We make gun to the head gestures in jest not knowing the potential pain we’re bringing to those nearby. We take the “righteous” and “pious” positions that suicide is a sin or that the person who committed suicide was “weak” or “cowardly”.
Maybe, but what gives you the right? WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT???
The thing is, suicide takes someone from a family. From loved ones. From people who care about them.
Even if they’ve screwed up. Even if they’ve done stupid things. Even if [insert your own reason].
The point is… I would argue that mental illness is a real thing. It’s not a weakness unless by weakness you mean a deficiency in some area that most of us have plenty of reserves (or at lease enough to make it through).
To wrap up this rant let me just say…
Anyway, I’ll close with the poignant words to Runaway Train…
Promised myself I wouldn’t weep. One more promise I couldn’t keep. It seems no one can help me now. I’m in too deep there’s no way out…
Can you help me remember how to smile? Make it somehow all seem worthwhile? How on earth did I get so jaded? …
It seems no one can help me now. I’m in too deep there’s no way out. This time I have really led myself astray.
Bought a ticket on a runaway train. Like a mad man laughing at the rain. Little out of touch. Little insane. Just easier than dealing with the pain.

Fortunately, I passed the exam on Thursday and am now free to help anyone buy or sell real estate in the state of Michigan!
Visit my new site at FreedomRE.com (note it’s still under some construction)
Why did I want to get my license? It’s actually been something I’ve been interested in for a long time, and briefly considered probably 6 or 7 years ago. With a strong interest and actual background in finances, technology, business, and sales I figured that should pair well with my interest in Real Estate. In addition, I’ve been selling real estate Call Capture Hotlines to real estate agents and mortgage brokers for the last 9 years.
What differentiates me and why would someone want to work with me? I would say it’s a combination of personality fit, professionalism, and competence. As anyone who has worked with me before knows, I have a reputation for getting things done and putting my client first. I’m not going to gush all over you or sit and gab your ear off, but I will provide you my 12+ years of technology and finance experience, 10+ years sales and marketing experience, and my reputation for success. Most of all, I don’t think you’ll find another agent in the area with anywhere close to my background and skills.
I would love a chance to put my money where my mouth is and help you buy or sell that home! Contact me today:
