Everyone knows I manage the Susco Solutions blog which (hopefully) provides good content but this is the first time I’m writing a personal blog.

There are a couple reasons I’m doing this; to look back on my perspectives / positions in life, to provide a “log” for my children, and to build my personal brand (saw Gary Vanyerchuk at SxSW an am listening to Crush It audiobook WHICH is just awesome).

I’m also really hoping to provide some value for others.  There is a reason I named the blog “No Limits…”. I have an unwaivering faith in myself and 100% believe with every fiber of my being that I have No Limits.

I know, I know.  Kinda sounding like a brag-a-thon.  But here’s the thing - I don’t feel like I have No Limits b/c of some special gene factor or trait unique to me, it’s because I CHOOSE to have No Limits.  I CHOOSE to believe that as long as I am on the righteous path that I can do anything. I CHOOSE to believe that every failure in my life is a lesson to prep me for a greater success. 

I CHOOSE to believe that this is contagious.  Maybe 100 people will read this blog, maybe 70 will think I’m an arrogant jerk, maybe 25 will yawn, BUT I know this.  At some point, a few people will realize that there is no need for them to have limits on themselves.  And they will act.  And they will infect those around them.  And so on, and so on, and so on…

Example #1: I’ve done a couple amazing things in my life.  Most recently, I’ve been on a low carb liquid diet since Ash Wednesday.  That’s right - it’s been 54 days so far, of which I’ve had solid food on 3.  I’ve lost 35 lbs and now can run 10Ks again. (I’m going to expand on this in a later post).

Takeaway #1: Next time you’re worried you’ve got no chance on your next pitch or that you can’t do that next mile or whatever; remember that your buddy Neel, who’s a food addict with 3 businesses, 2 kids in diapers, and 1 very loving and hard working wife is finding the energy, will, and time to fast, run, and crush it in business.

If I can do it, so can you - so get on it!
