Monday motivation - fueled up since the start

Hi,

we had another freezing night in Munich, with temperatures lower than -10 °C. Even if I'm a late sleeper, today I had to go out earlier than normal out of bed, as there was an urgent call with Japan, where the HQ of the firm for which I work is. It is fine, as I like working with Japan, and the culture there and also to be in calls with them. The culture is way more different than compared to other Asian countries, like China and India for example. The structured way of working is more appealing for me.

After the 4 AM call, I could not sleep and did the meeting report and started the fire, so when my kid and wife are up, they will enjoy the warmth of the oven. I did not even notice that it is Monday, as some times I do work on the weekends, especially on Saturdays.

I went to the gym at 5, and was surprised to see how full it was. Somehow, this made me happy, as I see people that are motivated to improve and maintain their fitness level. It was a long time ago, since I did go at such an early hour. I try to do it before the lunch break, as the traffic is not so high, and not so populated.

This added t the motivation, as I have to train a little more and much harder. My body is not getting any younger and by training, the whole ageing process is slowed down. Some have the Monday Blues, I got the Monday motivation.

After the training, my wife was happy that the car was warm. I usually preheat it, as we have an electric car,
not a Tesla, as I like to have a higher material quality inside and the instrument dashboard behind the steering wheel. The difference was, that it was defrosted also on the outside. Perfect start to the day for her, as I did also prepare breakfast, and there goes this saying, happy wife, happy life.

This follows my values, be the best version for your family. Brought the kid then to his morning activities and then to kindergarten. And now I sit home, write the post in a break from a major task, that I work on in private. It is a merger acquisition between one of the companies that I own and a competitor. There are two paths on it, either we sell and they incorporate us, or they sell, and we incorporate them. At this stage, I would sell, the company has a cap on productivity caused by space and machines, and the market is rather niche and limited. So, selling would be appealing, as there would be other possibility in the next 1-5 years, especially with the ageing population in Europe, where a lot of business need a new management/owner.

For me, this was a fuelled motivational start of the week, and even there might be hiccups today, I will not mind them, just will try to find solutions to overcome them.

How about you? How did your week start?
