Life Imitates Long Distance Cycling

            PAC Tour is a great way to spend 18 days…if you’re planning to write a book on energy …because life imitates riding across the country.  Just ask Einstein, who knew a bit about energy.  He said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” And, on PAC Tour…

§  Each day brings its own challenges;

§  The external obstacles, like mountains and traffic, are unchanging and uncaring;

§  The internal obstacles are tougher: pain, exhaustion, anxiety, confusion, discouragement, irritation, distraction;

§  Sometimes, you ride with friends; sometimes, you must ride alone;

§  You must decide how to spend your energy; how to save it; how to recover it;

§  It’s a little dangerous;

§  Tomorrow, you ride again.

            At 66, Medicare card in my wallet, I became the oldest rider to complete this event since it began in 1995.  Some folks think it’s pretty impressive that an old fart like me could ride that long and hard.  In this book and my courses, I’m going to argue that it’s no big deal compared to the amazing things YOU could do with more energy.

            To learn how to do that, stay tuned or check out my website, http://www.MorePersonalEnergy.com.  Or, buy my book, Getting UP! Supercharging Your Energy.

Join Me on the Road to More Personal Energy!

            We suffer from the most widespread energy crisis in history.  It has nothing to do with oil, gas or solar power.  It’s…it’s…it’s hard to get up in the morning.

            Indeed, it’s hard to get up -- period -- for a lot of what we must do. We used to think we didn’t have enough time, but the ugly truth is we just don’t have enough energy.

            The good news is that we can get more energy.  The bad news is that the ways we get it are often expensive, dangerous and counterproductive.  There are better ways.

            This new blog is about a different approach toward getting the energy to be ready, willing and able to live the successful, balanced life you want.  I’ll include the many energy tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years as a ultra-distance bicycle racer, consultant, trainer and all-around energy geek.

            Many energy insights are from my book, GettingUP! Supercharging Your Energy, and from the scores of energy seminars I’ve taught.  You’ll learn why:

§  Managing your energy, not your time, is the secret;

§  Getting more energy isn’t about what you drink…it’s about what you think;

§  Driving a stake through the hearts of the vampires sucking your life away might help;

§  Supercharging your energy is inexpensive, simple and fun.
