Tonight I called home from my trip to Nashville and talked with my wife about her day. At 10:08 I looked at my phone and said, “I need to let you go. I’m getting up early tomorrow.”
My wife replied, “Ok, but you say that you’re getting up early every day and you don’t.”
She’s right. I set my alarm for 5:30 or 6am every night but rarely answer its call when it rings. I have been living as if my intentions mattered as much as my actions. Decisions aren’t actions, they intentions that we still haven’t delivered on.
Here’s my alarm for tomorrow.

I skipped my run this morning, because I wanted to tell you something. If you know me, you know that’s a big deal.
I get up at 4 o’clock in the morning, but unlike Jon, I don’t do it to sucker-punch Tuesday. It’s more like a special ops infilitration. (Incidentally, I could tell you how I judo chop Tuesday like a stealth ninja–but then I would have to kill you.)
I’m not going to the #Quitter conference, and I’m giving away my ticket.
Here’s 3 reasons why you should go:
1. It’s free.
Did I mention that I’m giving away my ticket? Someone out there needs the Quitter conference–needs to connect with other #quitters. Tell us why in the comments below, and this golden ticket could be yours.

In this interview you’ll meet Jim Woods, a former accountant who attended the Quitter Conference after hearing about it the DAY before the conference was held. His story is a pretty serious one. Jim experienced major health issues including asthma, heart palpitations and depression stemming from his employment situation but at the Quitter conference he learned some simple but life changing truths about himself and he got the tools he needed to pursue his dream job while working at his day job. If you’ve ever stressed out about the idea of changing careers or have negative people in your life who are telling you that you can’t do it…then this is the episode for you.
