Long weekend of frustrations, successes, and results!
This weekend was brutal, frustrating, but ultimately it was a success and I am closer to the result, a private, 500 square foot heated and cooled personal training studio…with a TV! I can’t wait to open and start to help people fall in love with training and making them laugh.
However, before that becomes a reality, the big “result” so to speak. I have to do the grunt work…like this weekend. Lucky for me my dad was a contractor. We spent Friday through Saturday, from sun up to sundown “remodeling.” This basically means we took down parts of walls and added walls. Sounds easy right? WRONG, it is not, but few things that really get results are easy.
Do you know how frustrating it was to pull out studs, wooden boards that support the walls, with all the stinking nails only to replace that stud with a new one? It’s kind of like dieting and working out really hard and then bingeing and taking a week off and gaining all the weight back (now you feelin me?). It was extremely time consuming, but with each new stub and each new wall, my father and I were having little successes, getting closer and closer to the end result. This is the same mindset you need to have to get the result you want.
So often in live, we look to the end result and want it fast and NOW. We have the mentality of my 2 and 3 year olds. We know what we want and we want it now. The only problem with that mentality is that it is often unrealistic. Having a goal or a destination is great, but you have to reverse engineer it and create a plan on how to get there. You also need to plan for unforeseen setbacks…like bad boards, or Holiday parties, major pain in the butt (the boards, not the Holidays : )!
Ultimately, the mindset that is developed by having to go through the ups and downs and experiencing small successes enables you to learn and grow. This is what life and training is all about and this is how one gets the results they have always dreamed of.
This Wednesday I will be announcing some big news, so stay tuned.
Now go and be awesome!
