REFLECTION
Hebrews 13:16
"Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God."
As I approach my two-year painiversary with F3, I've been reflecting on how far we have come as an organization just during my time since 'joining'. From a national level down to Isotope to Denver (and now Lincolnton), the growth has been amazing.
Normally, growth in an organization is due to some master strategy conceived in a board room (or at least a meeting room) that gets carried out by a team tasked with achieving a set goal to increase revenue or profit or membership.
In my opinion F3 is different. Our growth is driven by something completely different. It is driven by good men doing good things and simply desiring to share that experience with other good men.
The Emotional Headlock (EH) is a far better tool than any prospecting strategy ever could hope to be. The love we have for this thing called F3 drives our desire to share it with others and makes us all better because of it.
May we all continue to work to grow our numbers – not because we are supposed to – but because we want others to be able to experience what we have all been so fortunate to find.
And a special 'thank you' to Diesel and C# for EH'ing me at Racquet's birthday party a couple of summers ago.

MOLESKIN
– Felt like forever since my last Q. Between Murphs, travel and a new Q in the rotation, six weeks is a long time to go when you're used to every other week. Keep the new Qs coming though!
– Yes, this workout was almost a complete repeato of one from April
– Thanks for putting up with Q that was undeniably the six today (but what elese is new? 😉 ) I'm pretty sure you won't have that problem on Wednesday. Which reminds me…
– Abrams VQ is Wednesday. What's he got? You gotta show to know.
– As always, gentlemen: It is truly an honor to be allowed to lead and a privilege just to be part of this.
