92-Day Blog Challenge Day 3

Sunday, October 3

Part of my 92-Day Challenge is to not watch sports or go to sports websites for the 92 days. Today was the first big sports day of the challenge. I am a big San Francisco Giants fan and a 49er and Raider fan. I think all those teams played today. On a typical Sunday I would watch 30 minutes to 5 hours of sports. I would go to espn.com probably 50x on a Sunday. Today I watched zero sports and didn’t go to espn.com once to check on scores. What was great about this is it freed up quite a bit of time for me and my mind wasn’t focused on sports. I don’t think I have ever gone on a sports diet like this before. Today it was great.

Here are some of the things I did today.

Went to church
Ran some errands for things we needed around the house
Exercised
Bar B Que dinner for the family
Did a dog training session over Zoom with our trainer
Did my cold shower
Completed more than 5,000 walking steps
Recorded 19 short audio clips for a project I am working on

The things I did today were far more valuable that watching and obsessing over sports. If you watched a bunch of sports today I have zero judgment. I have watched enough sports in my life for 10 lifetimes. This is simply a personal choice for me.

    Eric, my hats off to you on this! I love sports so much that, especially this time of year, my Red Sox are in the playoffs, it's so difficult to not watch. I agree, I've probably watched enough sports for many lifetimes!!!

92-Day Blog Challenge Day Before Day 1

One of my star clients, Ivy Huang, recently shared on one of our calls that she started a blog. I immediately thought I want to do that as well. So here is my blog. What I decided to do is a 92-day blog for the 4th quarter of 2021. So each day I will be posting a blog on this page. The 4th quarter starts tomorrow so this blog entry is the day before day 1. I love looking at life in quarters. This upcoming quarter is extra special because I am in a highly motivated place in my life. So I am going ALL in on my goals over the next 92 days. Today is Thursday, September 30. Every Thursday at 4 I lead a call for a group of my clients. On today’s call shared content on creating written goals for the 4th quarter. This call landed especially good. If you would like a copy of the recording you can email me at  eric@ericlofholm.com  and put September 30 Recording in the subject line. I will then send you the recording. My mindset going into tomorrow is to step up, to go all in on my goals, to pro

92-Day Blog Challenge Day 12

Today is day 12 of my 92-day challenge. I am doing great on following through on what I have set out to follow through on. One of the things I am experiencing is the things I have written down as part of my challenge I am doing a great job of accomplishing. Because of this I have been looking for new things to add to my challenge. I got present to the fact that I have been on my phone while driving. So I added this to my challenge. No more being on the phone while driving. I also got present to the fact that I hadn’t been wearing my seatbelt so I added wearing my seat belt to my challenge. I also added no social media from Friday night until Monday morning. Here are some accountability updates. I have taken a cold shower every day I have done 25 or more prospecting touches 6 of the 8 business days I was supposed to. I have not watched any sports and I have stayed off of espn.com I have gotten up by 6 am 7 out of 8 days I have lifted weights every other day I am very, very happy w

92-Day Blog Challenge Day 1

Friday, October 1 Here we go! For the next 92 days I will go ALL IN on your goals and dreams. This is a form of self-hypnosis. I have mentally prepared myself to operate at a higher level of focus and discipline. I have decided the next 92 days will be GREAT! Part of my 92-day challenge in addition to blogging daily is to start the day off with a cold shower, walk 5,000+ steps, do 25 prospecting touches and not watch any sports or go to www.espn.com. I also took my stock app off my phone. I am going to take a break from me investing time trading stocks. I told my wife she can oversee my stock accounts for now if she wants. (She is a better trader than I am anyway) Here is how day 1 ended up. Cold shower – check 5,000+ walking steps – check (I actually did 16,002) No sports – check 25 prospecting touches – I missed this by 2. I did 23. This was one I should have hit. No beating myself up…and I should have hit 25. I had a GREAT day! I am super excited for this challenge. Be
