I worked out next to the Rock once at the gym. I think he was intimidated by me.

Yesterday, I shared with you my 1st Quarter Review – a synopsis of my life from Day 1 to Day 10,615. (Quick… how old does that make me??  If you guesed 11, that is incorrect.)

Today, let’s move to Quarter 2.

What do I want to accomplish in the next 10,000 days?

Well, I am glad you asked, Friend!

(This is the Coles Notes version – a complete Quarter 2 plan - one I put together with my clients – is 5-10 pages and I know you do not have the time in your busy schedule to go through the whole thing!)

Andrew’s Q2 Game Plan:

1. BRING THE GIFT OF 1-on-1 COACHING TO YOUNG PROFESSIONAL MEN (YPM) THROUGH A FOOTBALL METAPHOR

Use my gifts (asking powerful questions, listening, challenging, inspiring) and professional training to spread this message:  

• Many YPM’s are extremely BUSY - working and playing hard - but feel that they are not living up to their full POTENTIAL.
• I help YPM’s take a TIME-OUT from the non-stop activity consuming him to focus on answering this question:
  • ‘What if I viewed the way I ’played’ my life the same way a Pro Football Player goes about playing Football?’  

From this foundation, we will generate 2 really cool documents:

• Q1 – YOUR STORY – What have been your Q1 highlights?
• Q2 – YOUR GAME PLAN – What is your Game Plan for Q2?

2.  BECOME THE OPRAH of YPM’s

Oprah is widely recognized as a ‘Go-To’ person for women’s issues.  I want to be the ‘Go-To’ person for information and resources on how YPM’s can live richer, fuller lives. 

How?  By writing about common problems/issues/questions that occur in the lives of young men and provide ideas to help solve these issues:

• Posting at least once per day on this Blog. 
• My Weekly Man-Letter (like a Newsletter but way cooler) - a compilation of the top 5 web articles relevant to YPM’s, information on books I am reading, and a ‘Success Question’ to think and journal about each week.  Contact me if you want to be added to my Man-Letter E-Mail list.
• Writing magazine articles, a book, and multiple E-Books on the application of Sports related principles to life.  A subject many men can relate to.

3. LIVE A 100% FULLY ALIVE, ABUNDANT LIFE

OFF THE FIELD:

Thriving relationships with…

• God
• My wife, Beth
• Family
• Friends

Physical Training

• Compete in 2 major outdoor events per year. Here is an example of one I did earlier this month.
• Maintain 10% Body Fat

$

• Financial Independence (no mortgage debt) by age 35.
• Give away 50% of our household earnings by age 40. Beth… hope this is cool with you!!

Personal Growth

• Continue reading 1 book per week on personal development/success/finance.
• Continue to Meditate/Pray 1 time per day for 15 minutes.
• Attend a conference or seminar every month that focuses on improving my Coaching skills, issues especially relevant to young men, or other key growth areas (fitness, $, relationships.)

Fun

• Get a massage 1 time per week.

ON THE FIELD

Career – ‘Football’ and ‘Oprah’ above.

Environment

• Home – move to a location that is warm year round by age 35.
• Office – have my own office by age 35.

Man, I am so excited about seeing these things happen.  The best part is that this is a Game Plan – it is not set in stone.  If I need to adjust or change, I will. 

Maybe some even bigger things are in store?
