Chris
Personal Win: 
Had an awesome date with his wife, Sam. They went out and had a nice dinner and then went for some live music at McMenamin's Undercroft.  However, when he was looking at live music for the undercroft, he ended up looking at an undercroft in Maryland.  The company was amazing, the music was basically not even there.

Personal Development: 
Chris and Sam had Monday as their day off for a long time, but then Chris started working with a group from out of town on a project and needed to work the standard week.  They had not been very good about taking a solid day off until this week.  When they moved their day off back to Monday.  #takeadayoff

He is also listening to a variety of podcasts, but "On Purpose" and "School of Greatness" always have something for him.  This week the biggest thing was around Fitness and soreness NOT being a good thing. 

Dog Win:
A new client signed up.  It's  Shiba Inu and tied for the most fearful dog Chris has ever seen.  The dog is so afraid of everyone and everything, that it won't even let its owner touch him even to take off the harness he came with.  He is excited to see the transformation over the next few months.  

Business Win:
The new CRM system Charlo is considering is likely going to work and make life so much easier for the Charlo management team.  This may mean some slight changes for you, but it's about dog training and anything Charlo can do to enable us to train more dogs, which is a good thing!

Also bringing enthusiasm to everything you do- getting other people to feel your enthusiasm and excitement.

He's a retired NAVY SEAL and the only member of the US armed forces to complete NAVY SEAL training, Army Ranger School, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller Training. After reading the first chapter, and can already tell where this man is coming from in terms of his outlook on life and how paper thin a lot of uplifting concepts can be like hope and belief. He spoke on how potential is often limited by the hardships of life and the mental beat down people put on themselves when resistance shows up to stop their goals and self development, and more often than not, that mental beatdown can tear through belief in one's self and make hope fade and we end up back to the same person we were before we wanted to change. Those same feelings that first inspired us to try to change coming back even worse than before.
