Joe Kennedy's AID for December 31, 2011

Here is the video for my AID today - New Year's Eve 2011.



As always, I have a lot of great things to be thankful for and much to look forward to as well. Here is the text from today's AID:

Belong to a high quality health club by the end of January 2012 - could be the Bellevue Club, David Barton Gym or ....?????  It seems like a savvy club would understand how much publicity and traffic I can generate for them through this site, as well as, JoeAbs.com, LuxuryFitnessFun.com and BellevueBusinessJournal.com.

I am leaving it to the Universe and my subconscious mind to work together to help create the perfect balance of love, truth and prosperity in my life – and I trust that they do.

Peace and Prosperity for All in 2012

For many of us, 2011 has not been the best year and 2010 wasn't so good either ....  Not sure about you, but I am ready for a GREAT year in 2012!

For my part, I am going to continue to live within my means, be thoughtful about all purchases and shopping habits - and continue to go out of my way to help others (and their businesses).  Are you going to be making any changes in 2012 to help make sure it is a better year?



 

My AID for Today - Appreciation, Intention, Delegation

Since I started seeing my Millionairess just about 90 days ago, there have been a number of really cool things that we have been able to share together.

One of the daily habits she practices, which I believe is a practice of her boss's entire team, is called AID:  Appreciation, Intention and Delegation.

Those of you who live in gratitude know the power of showing daily appreciation, so this is a great way to start.  The Intention and Delegation sections make it even more powerful.

I believe that Stacia and Thach's team are in the practice of emailing their AID to the group (or certain members of it) to share and help with accountability.  This is a great practice, but I am taking it a couple of steps further.  I have recorded it as a screencast and will post it here on my personal blog for ALL to see.  I hope you will ALL hold me accountable ...

Google Up to Some Interesting Things with Schemer

It seems like any trip to my Post Office Box can truly be (or at least lead to) an adventure.  Because of my past as a newspaper publisher and a present that includes being part of the media by publishing BellevueBusinessJournal.com, I occasionally get sent some interesting 'stuff'.

Today I received a non-descript box with a nice little business card holder, with a single business card in it.  This card simply said Schemer on one side and a link on the other.  Of course as soon I had the change, I needed to visit the link http://goo.gl/Ppn3F - I'm assuming it was a special link tracked to me that opened up to a site called Schemer.  I am assuming that because this site is tied into Google+ that it is a Google site - and regardless of where it came from, I thought it was a brilliant marketing play.  After not a lot more thought, I realized that it was @Charles Koh who works at Google Places who probably was responsible for the mystery gift ...

Thanks Charles!

BTW - although I have not yet done a lot with it, I am on Google+ and have also rated a good number of local businesses on Google Places.  I would really love to have the opportunity to partner with Schemer, Google Places and Google+ with BellevueBusinessJournal.com and EastsideEntrepreneurs.com - and would love to be able to review some of the more luxurious and opulent Google Places for my new project at LuxuryFitnessFun.com

 

Wanna Buy a (Traffic) Island in Bellevue? OkaySoToday.com Wants to Sell You One ...

This morning I was a little tired on the way back from the gym.  It was still dark, but I could not believe my eyes when I saw what I thought I saw - I had to make a u-turn and find out.

This was a great play by the peeps at OkaySoToday.com !!!  BUT - how could they be so bold as to sell a traffic island that is so darn important to all those who use it as a litter bin for their signs during campaign season?  Are are the neighbors finally all done protesting light rail?

Lingering questions we would all like answers to ...

 

My First Crossfit Workout Ever: Going NUTTS at Stone Way Crossfit in Seattle VIDEO

Earlier today, at LuxuryFitnessFun.com, I posted a post workout video from yesterday after surviving my first ever crossfit workout introducing Stone Way Crossfit owner/trainer Scott Rodriguez, Joe Bauer of AllAroundJoe.com, his business partner Erik Bee, Malachi and Rob Kilcup who all made the experience very enjoyable.  Thankfully, Scott took it easy on me and gave me a modified version of the "NUTTS" workout that the rest of them did.  Here is some of the action (Thank you to the Millionairess, Stacia Loo for filming this):



After the workout I was pleasantly fatigued and exhausted - my whole body felt worked and my lungs had gotten more work in around 15 minutes than if I had done my usual hour of cardio on a Precor eliptical or something similar.  My heart rate was definitely increased and I'm sure I was still burning extra calories over a couple hours later.

Thanks to Scott and the guys, I had a great time with my first crossfit experience and am looking forward to more in the future.  Still seriously considering Scott's challenge to me to take a 90 day crossfit challenge ....  Anybody else up for it?
