Let me preface this article by saying this is not a shot to anyone that runs slow, LOL. I know you are wondering where I am going with this, so keep reading. Many of you know the story of the tortoise and the hare. Like the Hare, it seems that many of us want the results but face either 1 of 2 problems.
- We want them quickly. Sometimes overnight.
- We are disillusioned about the hard work it takes to get the results we want.
- Did I put this weight on in just 4 weeks? NO
- Is it safe for me to lose this much weight in so little time? NO
- Is all weight loss good? NO (Fat Loss is great, but Muscle loss is not so great)
- In the past when I lost a lot of weight did I put it back on? YES
My point behind this story is simple: Don’t be the HARE, be the TORTOISE. Remember “slow and steady” wins the race. That doesn’t mean slow down your workout, that just means take your time and STAY FOCUSED. Putting it simply: Diet, Exercise, Weight Management, Fitness, etc is hard work. If it were easy our country wouldn’t be over 60% obese. So because this is such a daunting task you have hired a professional to help you reach your goals. I want to share with you one SECRET thing I do when I hire professionals like a lawyer, doctor, mentor, coaches, accountant, etc.
THE SECRET IS: I LISTEN TO THEM!!!!!!!!!!
That may come as a SURPRISE to you but that’s the truth. I hired them to help me. If I insist on still not listening, I must know this is counter productive, and will hinder me reaching my goals in a timely manner. I tell everyone the things you do today will definitely effect your tomorrow. So ask yourself the question: Are you giving 100%?
If the answer is NO, then start today! After reading this email, you have one job the next time you show up for Boot Camp. That is: BE QUIET AND TRAIN!
