If I just keep grinding, I’ll eventually get there.
If only I was more disciplined.
I just need to work a little harder. A little longer. And things will turn around.
I workout so hard, why isn’t this weight coming off.
Doesn’t my wife see how hard I work, she should be happy.
God will reward me if I work hard and suffer.
Bull. Shit. Hard work is not the answer. Hard work is sedation and a way to hide behind the lies you have created that you are doing the required work to get the result you desire.
Hard work is a mask. It’s a trick. Those lies and stories I typed above sound a lot like things I have thought or said, and I’m sure you have too at some point in your life.
Now don’t get me wrong, hard work is a valuable part of the equation, but if you are a slave to working hard without setting the intention behind it, you could be running a mile in the wrong direction. And it doesn’t matter if you are sprinting while carrying an 80lb backpack just so everyone knows how tough you and and how hard you are working, if you don’t have a map, then you might as well be running in circles.

The road map. The coach. The guide.
So you are ready to bust your ass? What’s next?
Despite the picture I painted above, hard work is NOT a bad thing. Its just not the whole picture. So how do we prevent wasting our energy and resources and ending up with NO FRUIT at the end of the day. How do we prevent ending up burnt out, at the end of our rope, and giving up on our dream.
Well I’m glad you asked because I’ve been that guy. Super hard worker. But avoiding the required work. Until I woke up to the fact that I wasn’t just going to get where I wanted to be by accident. I needed directions. And I needed a map. I needed something to reference every single day so that I could figure out WHAT the required work was to get to my target, and I needed to create a blueprint for getting there. And I needed to change my pace of life so that I created TIME and MARGIN to check the damn map every day and make sure I was still on course.
See it sounds simple but I would
Create a beautiful map and then I would put it in my backpack and I would load up my 80lbs of gear and I would take off sprinting.
“Let’s go! 😤 I just got a vision from God! This is my calling. This is what I’m supposed to be doing!”
And then I would run around in circles as fast as a could with my head down. Praying and hoping and wondering why the heck I wasn’t any closer to my target. So I might stop and regroup and then start running again. Maybe this time in a different direction. Hoping. Praying. And still not taking the damn map i made out of my backpack.
See the required work might be simple. And it can be. But it is never easy. And by me conveniently keeping my map in my backpack and not in my face, it was easy to forget and avoid the exact steps I needed to take to reach my destination. So instead I got tired and frustrated and then I finally pulled the map back out and I felt like an idiot. It was right there in front of me the whole time.
See we all have the ability to create our own map. We just need a guide or a teacher to show us how to do it. But if we spend the money on the teacher and make a beautiful map, and we don’t stop to read it and take the steps it’s telling us to take, we will still never reach our destination.
So let me my pain and my investments be a lesson to you. You are not doing anything wrong. It’s just the simple truth that you haven’t been told.
You need a guide.
You need more than hard work.
Successful people pay for people to show them how to get a result. And then they do it. The do the work in front of them. They follow the map they have created.
That’s it.
- Step 1. Find a guide that vibes with you and is already where you want to be.
- Step 2. Create the blueprint to get where you want to go with their help.
- Step 3. Follow the blueprint and Execute the plan. (Aka the hard work)
If you want help creating a blueprint for your life, so you can get off the hamster wheel, send me a message.
I’m currently taking on 3 personal coaching clients. For a 4 month coaching commitment. 30 days to learn the foundation. Fitness. Nutrition. Mindset. Accountability. And 90 days to create and execute the blueprint.
I’ve invested tens of thousands of dollars in coaching over the last 10 years, and have worked with hundreds of clients in the fitness space to help them achieve their fitness goals. But it was not enough. Something was missing.
This is what’s been missing.
Who cares if you have a six pack if you don’t have connection with your wife.
Who cares how skinny you are if you have no purpose, no connection to God.
Who cares how much money you made if you family falls apart and your kids don’t want to even see your face.
If you are someone like me who isn’t satisfied with success in one area, but you want it all. Then this is for you. Give yourself the gift of coaching and see how much you can accomplish in the last quarter of 2019.
Message me if interested and I’ll send you my link to schedule a 30min coaching call with you to see if you are a good fit.
