Asking an accomplished man for a favor

Tuesday, March 25.  Hi all.  It's seems to want to be spring here, but not quite yet.  The weather teases us with temperatures in the 40's then it dips down into the 30's and snows on us.  That's Michigan for you.  Soon enough it will be warm and I'll be giving more lessons than I could want.  Went for a run today.  Only half an hour, but faster.  It was good.  I'll do three more workouts and then take Saturday off for Sunday's race.  I also pricelined a rental car for $10 a day today!  Awesome deal.  It's better than putting all those miles on my car that I leased and have to return in November.  Cool.  It's all coming together.

Today's new thing was to ask an accomplished individual for a favor.  I've talked about Mike before, a student of mine and also my real estate mentor.  He's taught me a lot already, and today I thought I'd ask for a favor.  When he brought his son Brennan in for a lesson today, I asked if he would be willing to write me a letter of recommendation for the MBA program at the University of Michigan.  He said he would be happy to.  That pleased me very much because it means he thinks highly enough of me to write something positive!  If he didn't think much of me, there would be no reason to right one, right?

Anyway, it was a really nice thing for him to agree to and serves as another thing that I won't be as hesitant to do.  I am learning in this process of 180 things in 180 days that I am quite scared of some things that I never thought I'd be scared of.  And once you do them, they're not so bad.  That's the whole point, isn't it?  I think I'm getting it and really feeling some growth and positive energy happening.  It feels fantastic.

I wish you all a good day or night.  Enjoy and appreciate and be grateful of all that's around you.  We only get to live this life once, so go out there and do!  I'll talk to you all tomorrow with yet another new experience, hopefully a really fun one.  We'll see.
