Team Day After Melbourne 4 Day Seminar

Tuesday March 17th

 

It’s Tuesday after the Melbourne 4 day which usually means a sleep in before Team Day.

 

Tuesday is always Team day after 4 day events where we find some new exciting adventurous activity to do. Today its planned we are going to indoor paintball in Melbourne not far from Docklands.

 

We generally have team day at Midday onwards as most of the Team only go to sleep by 6am after partying all night so early starts don’t quite work.

 

I get picked up by an associate who speaks about the QLink at our 21st Century events which is a magnet you can wear around your neck or on your wrist that protects you from energy mobiles phones and computers omit.

 

He picks me up in the new baby hummer which I love as I’ve been planning on buying one to use as my vehicle to travel to my farms and back from the gold coast.

 

There are 16 of the team that are up for paint ball. We all register and I quickly secretly select two teams of 8 each.

 

Knowing I will be a target of the team for sure. Plus knowing the only other time I’d played paintball which was outdoors in Thailand, and that the paintballs can hurt. I cleverly select the most likely players to target me in paintball on my team.

 

Always best to keep your enemies close to you.

 

So after the team is briefed on all the rules and dressed in full combat gear I read out the teams.

 

I tell them the computer has randomly selected 8 on each team.

 

When they hear those in my team being the blue team verse the red team who lack the same level of talent some of the team are sceptical the computer randomly selected the teams.

 

I reassure them it was totally random computer selection but I don’t think their buying it.

 

We are each loaded up with 500 paintballs in 3 canisters spare. And we have 2 and a half hours scheduled to play.

 

After the first game which lasted for only 5mins and of course my blue team won I’m gasping for breathe, not realising how fit you need to be to play this game.

 

It’s also quite slippery from the paint everywhere. I’ve already had the top of my head blasted and paint over my mask as well I slip and roll my ankle but doesn’t hurt much and seems fine.

 

Plus it’s not a good idea to let the enemy know you’re injured. So I gather the blue team and suggest we need a strategy and play aggressively to win.

 

I suggest the guys on the team go along the outside walls of the arena as we’ll have the wall behind us to protect us and we can force the enemy inside us making them easy targets to shoot.

 

The strategy works and we win the next two games despite protests from the red team who reckon some of our team aren’t dying when shot.

 

We dismiss the allegations as nothing but them having to deal with being comprehensively beaten.

 

We now move to another room with different combat obstacles and the goal is to retrieve the flag and return it to safety.

 

This requires higher stakes but with Rob from AV on my team and Joel who are aggressive and effective soldiers, we dominate the red team again and again for the next 5 games.

 

The red team plays too defensively as opposed to us who play aggressively and to win and take risks providing a far better strategy.

 

We also conserve our paintballs meaning the last game the red team runs out before most of us and allows us to make them pay dearly.

 

However we do take plenty of hits from our aggressive approach.

 

I suffer 3 solid bruises across my lower stomach where it hurts the most and Rob looks like he has chicken pox from the number of bruises over his body. Joel is also drawing blood from some shots to the hands.

 

But compared to the Red team who have suffered a lot of casualties we can rejoice in our 8 nil victory.

 

We relax over drinks and pizza for lunch. It’s been an awesome day and everyone has enjoyed themselves.

 

I’m lucky I have a massage booked later in the day as I certainly need it.

 

We all arrive back at 21st Century’ offices and annoy the corporate staff trying to do their work, as they see us covered in paint from head to toe and showing off our well earnt war wounds.

 

I have to quickly sign 50 books, it’s one of my new books   “What I Didn’t Learn From My Finance Broker But Wish I Had”  that made me a property millionaire that’s just hit bookstores.

 

It’s my 5th book in bookstores and forms part of the What I Didn’t Learn series. For a free copy of the eBook version Click Here.

 

Channel 7 have asked for a copy as well so I sign one for them and the Head Of Channel 7 staff drops by to collect it considering Channel 7 offices are nearby across the Yarra at Telstra Dome in Docklands.

 

I head across the road to my apartment and look forward to a well deserve massage.

 

The twisting of my ankle in paintball didn’t seem to hurt much when it happened but all of a sudden 2 hours later it swells up to a point I can no longer walk.

 

Lucky I’m staying in for the night. My partner is away for the night and thinks it’s funny when I tell her I can’t walk.

 

It’s her birthday tomorrow so I’m hoping I will be better by then. I tell her if not she’ll have to bring me crutches in the morning as hopping around on one leg isn’t my idea of fun. Lucky I’m exhausted so I fall to sleep despite the pain of my twisted ankle.

 

It was all well worth it though and I look forward to the next paintball challenge.
