Man was this experience incredible. Who knew such a secret existed in LA. Literally hot springs in the middle of the city right in the center of Korea Town. You walk in and waterfalls overcome all your stresses. They take you to a changing room filled with peace. Then onto the hot springs. The delicious water took away all my troubles and soothed by challeneges with clarity. I treated myself to a couple spa services and afterward with all forgotten tranquility revived into by being read "The Energy of Prayer". It"s easy to lose balance owning a start up.

A day at the beach doesn't hurt anyone...

It's so tough being an entreprenuer. One of our advisors demanded I begin taking Sundays off starting last Sunday. Its nice actually. Did leave the computers at the office but as you can see my BlackBerry isn't far from reach. This weekend is about employee management, being able to walk away and also knwoing when to give someone one last leap of faith. Its tough. Owning a business is like the most dynamic chess game. All the players matter and if they are taken out or make the wrong moves the Queen is in jepordy. So you want to have the best team.

What day am I on?

Its Tuesday. I didn't go to boot camp yesterday because my previous week was just so stressful I needed the sleep and didn't want to catch the evil flu that's been going around. Miraculously I scored an inhaler over the weekend. Man, what a blessing it is to breathe. It made the work out so much more tolerable. Today is a new start for my life. A new breath of fresh air to inhale, literally and symbolically. I was supposed to have this great momentum infused into my company by today and I am still waiting. It is quite a huge let down and a question of commitment to one's word. Hopefully all will work itself out soon enough. In the meanwhile I'll be chanting me "Secret" chant... "An abundance of money flows freely into my life each and every day". Maybe, just maybe, the universe will hear me and I'll be that much closer to achieving the resources I need to later pursue my philanthropic goals.

Day 3... Opps... lets skip to Day 4

Day 3 I played hooky. I had a rough week. I a lot of thinking. Wanted some zone out time.

So onto Day 4... Today was pretty good. Arrived about 5 minutes late. Mostly because i was sitting in my car dreading confronting life, but hey. So I finally walk to the grass greeted by a warm smile and start my boot camp. It was good. In just a couple days I feel myself getting stronger. Took some pics for some "before" shots. Not sharing though. It's embarrassing. And when the hour was up I walked to the cliff looking over the ocean and did a bit of meditation. Okay so like a minute of no thoughts, but then the rest of the 14 minutes were spent being grateful for all that I do have. A business partner who is a great friend and support, my family whether they have done me right or wrong I was grateful. My friends who are inspired by me. And the awe I have for my friends. This week is my 29th birthday. Maybe G-d will give me all the answers I am looking for as a gift.

Or maybe, just maybe, he has already given me all my gifts and I just need to unwrap them.

Day 2... Medic please :)

Wow, I definitely was dragged to go to the camp today. Being an entrepreneur took my health away. I just dreaded being reminded of it. Sitting in front of the computer each day eats at your muscles and left me with little appetite to properly nourish myself. I was huffing and puffing through the whole thing. But happy I stayed. Didn't give up. Well if not leaving equates to not giving up. I didn't give it my all that's for sure. The whole process reminded me of when I had a tumor years ago (I'm okay now) and had it removed. The journey back to recovery was draining. My body just didn't function as it once did. I had to rebuild. And here I go again. Rebuilding...

Workaholis, Asmatic Entreprenuer Seeks Balance

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.

Off to DC to speak at Georgetown

I honored to have been invited to Georgetown in DC to speak on their panel on entrepreneurs and investors this week. I thoroughly enjoy connecting with new people in the technology industry.It's very important to stay up to date not only in the subject matter or the business your in, but also in the dynamics of how that business functions.
