Yeah, It's tough being an entrepreneur. So today I start Boot Camp. The funny part is for owning a sports company I am completely out of shape. I don't look it, but I feel it. Totally worn down from constantly sitting in from the the computer, forgetting to eat, lacking sleep and "Free time" what's that. Just last week my business partner asked me what I do for fun. "Fun"? "Well,"... I answered "Work". Isn't that the goal. To do what we love. What we are passionate about so it doesn't feel like work. But then let me tell you after years of it "Life" gets lost and work becomes everything. So it's time to change things up a bit. And today was my first day of Boot Camp. I discovered it in the grocery line, probably buying my late night snacks, sushi and soda. Gleaming like an oasis out of the corner of my eye was a new military style Beach Boot Camp. So I immediately signed up. That was a few months ago. I went once and quickly forgot to come again. But then my partner asked me that "fun" question. And it has been irking me like no other. So I am at it again. To find that happy balance between my beloved work and life.
Day One was grueling. I was just happy I showed up and being on time was the cherry on top. I was in bed doing my morning emails and almost gave into my crackberry addiction and didn't leave. But one of my last emails was something encouraging from one of the companies I worked with and that gave me the push to get out the door. At the camp I fantasized about making phone calls and responding to emails. Because in reality my body was screaming at me for spending so much time in a chair.
Lets hope Day Two has a little more umph. But hey, at least I made it through Day One.
