Smash Down Your Walls...
Ever felt like you can't motivate yourself to do something?
I sure have
Maybe it's doing the washing up
Food shopping
Preparing your meals in advance
Or even getting to the gym in the first place!
Whatever your problem there's ONE sure way to fix it
> KEEP on persisting
Let me tell you a story
....actually 2 quick stories, overdelivering today I know ;)
Firstly, when I was running my business 2 years ago I had a part time job in a bank
You know, to keep things going whilst in the start-up phase
I desperately wanted to quit this job
Anyway
I went ahead and put in my 4 weeks notice
I'd grown the gym to the point where I could work full time
BUT
Soon as I handed in my notice
HALF OF MY CLIENTS LEFT
Now, let me just say that I only had about 15 clients at this time
But still, my income was cut in half from the gym
My income was GONE from my other job cos I'd quit
Scary?
You bet
But I kept pushing and persisting and within 8 weeks of quitting my job
I had more clients than ever and I WAS HAPPY
^^ something we all forget about is happiness
STORY NUMBER 2
Last year I pushed hard to take our gym from a small-ish 1000sqft facility
To our current facility which is 4000sqft
Again, we pushed hard to grow our client base and expand
But I hadn't taken into account about 25 different projects that would need to be done
> buying and setting up a LOT of equipment
> painting the walls (6m high and 20m wide!!)
> setting-up a coffee bar, which is a business in and of itself
And on and on
Whilst still running a BIGGER business than ever
* * *
Here's today's lesson...
"Every time you PUSH for something you want, the universe (or god or whatever you believe in) pushes BACK ten times harder. It's a TEST. It's something to OVERCOME not be overwhelmed by."
Keep this in mind each and every day
And EXPECT difficulty
Look for NEW problems and embrace them
Because our goals are only realised after a struggle
And the greater the goal the greater the struggle
So toughen up peeps :)
Have a great day
I'll speak to you soon
