A Proud Start at the Connecticut Challenge

This was certainly an adventure of a lifetime. I raised $1000 for Cancer. I trained for 3 1/2 weeks. I made it 36 miles and then CRASH.

Post Crash Road Rash

Carefully heading downhill, going fast, breaking gently, slick roads, into a turn – back wheel slid out and I flew over the handle bars. Head – shoulder – knee. Helmet saved my life – it has a huge dent. Sore back – badly bruised knee. Ended the day with 51 miles. My lesson? Life is not a spectator sport. In biking and in business and in life – sometimes you fall. Today I fell pretty hard.

Bruised

It could have been devastating. Life could have changed in a split second. I got back up. Have some really cool battle wounds. Met 3 prospects. All in all – it was a great birthday.

Yes, network marketing is a business.  And, yes, network marketing is a great business.  But network marketing offers a great lifestyle.  I am a daddy and a husband first.  I am training for a bike ride as a fund raiser for cancer survivors.  We are buying a house, moving to Connecticut, having a baby, and still having an amazing summer.  Network marketing is about lifestyle.  So far we have been to Cape Cod, Marblehead, Mass, Maine, Vermont, and today we are off to Mohonk Mountain.  I meet people when I am out and about.  I don’t go out to prospect.  I prospect when I am out.  I met 3 potential customers/business partners/friends yesterday at a christening.  Two the day before at a concert.  Two the same day on a bike ride.  What a business!  Network marketing is attracting people from all professions.  Real estate professional, athletes, financial planners and doctors are looking toward network marketing as their next career.  Are you ready to have CEO income without having a J-O-B?  We can help.  Are you already involved in network marketing and need some guidance?  We can help.  We teach people how to combine the three greatest trends of the new millennium – health and wellness, distribution through networks, and the internet. I am looking for a few key people to work with.  I bet you a dollar that I can help you add at least 20-30% to your income even in a down economy.  I can help you make your car payment, pay off your mortgage, or at the very least add a couple grand to your income each month.  Ready to take your health and your wealth to the next level?  Give me a call.  It’ll take one conversation – 15 minutes.  If it’s a fit, we can open up a door to extraordinary things together. If not, I will wish you well. 917-226-6901.  Let’s see if I can help you hit your financial goals.

One week of training done.  I borrowed an old bike from a friend and have had 5 training rides so far.  First two days out was two loops around central park – 12 miles each day.  Two rides in Vermont – about 15 miles each – one with a 4 mile climb.  Today, 30 miles – Manhattans Upper West Side, where I live, over the 59th street – The Queensboro Bridge – Northern Blvd through Queens – past the new Citi Field – Union Tpke to Old Country Road to Levitown Long Island to return the borrowed bike.   Tomorrow I pick up my Cannondale from the bike shop to take the training to the next level.  Raised $254 so far.  Will you join me in this fight to raise money for cancer survivors?

For the next 3 1/2 weeks I am going to train for New England’s Toughest Century Ride – 100 miles – to raise money for Cancer Survivors.  I have not been on a bicycle since 2002.  I will train very hard.  Focus on my diet.   Be strict with my work-outs.  Luckily, I will flood my body with Isagenix – the world leader in nutritional cleansing.  I will do a 9-day cleanse.  Eliminate coffee and alcohol.  And get into the best shape of my life.  And I will raise over $2000 for the 1 in 3 Americans who will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.  I will ride to help hospitals create their own survivorship program.  I will do this ride on July 25th – my birthday!  Please follow along as I blog about this experience over the next 3 1/2 weeks.  And please – help me exceed my goal.  Please sponsor me here.

Thank you!
