Episode 184- Do you want to be great?

A lot of people want to be great, but just can’t seem to make it happen. Whether being great means getting into great shape, excelling in their career or starting a business, I’ve identified one thing that holds most people back.

Episode 183- The key to getting in shape is not about your program or your diet.

Those things are obviously hugely important, but there is one thing that is arguably even more important.

Episode 182- Certain things you just need to hear over and over...

This is one of them. Why you aren’t losing weight on your workout program.

Episode 181- How we overlook the obvious in our quest for success. (A real problem actually.)

So often we keep looking for that “magic bullet” that we are missing, but in reality are we even doing any of the most basic things correctly and consistently?

Episode 180- "When everything is just right, I'll start."

Do you ever find yourself saying or thinking this? I have. But as the saying goes, “there’s never a good time.” Imperfect action beats no action every time.

Episode 179- Be wary of variety at the expense of results.

A common mistake in the workout world is to confuse variety with progression. “Changing it up” too often is a sure fire way to kill your progress and quite often, ultimately lead to you failing on your mission. Today we will talk about how variety and “changing it up” is completely misunderstood and not only very unnecessary but may also be one of the worst things you can do.

Episode 178- The price of greatness.

We often envy those who have accomplished great things, however we don’t always realize the price that was paid. Realizing this puts a lot things into perspective.

Episode 177- Hope. The key to unlocking your potential.

Hope. A very simple four letter word that is extremely powerful. Without it, all is lost. But with just a little bit of it, and the right nurturing, hope can grow into a magical beast. Here’s how to grow your hope.

Episode 176- "Life is short."

“Life is short. Enjoy yourself.”A couple of common quotes that are used to justify lots and lots of bad behaviors. Yes, life is short and we need to take time to appreciate the little things and enjoy ourselves. But when it comes at the expense of our long-term happiness and achieving our goals that are very important to us, then we need to learn to delay gratification and set aside the short term pleasures for long-term success.

Episode 175-How to thrive, not just survive.

The human body is amazing. We can adapt to just about anything and survive on very little. We can survive on very little food, very little exercise, hell we can even survive on very little happiness. But is that what it’s about? Is life about surviving or is it about thriving and living a life worth living?
