Description
And we're back for another episode on winning Wednesdays. Sometimes they even forget to call them that. So remember there are Monday minutes, cause everything's like five minutes or less, or maybe seven if I go over winning Wednesdays. Cause the only goal of today's show is to listen, apply and then implement into your life or into your business.And then of course, Fridays free for all Fridays where we take everything, we take the hinges off the door basically. Right. But today's winning Wednesday. It was probably one of the most transformative lessons that I've ever learned in business that I carry with me forever. Now I'm going to tell you a quick story, right?So when we think about like my life and if you've listened to my life, it's an interesting one, lots of extremes, you know, world records, crazy CrossFit stuff, physical fitness, things. I look back at my entire life with health and fitness and one of the biggest mistakes. That happened in my life with my health and fitness is that I always only looked at the next finish line, not the entire race.So what do I mean by that? Meaning there were a lot of times where I'd be like, okay, I want to tie a world record. So I'm gonna train every single day to tie the world record till I tied it. But then I was like, what's next? And I never knew what was next. So then it would lapse down. But what am I really going for? What comes after CrossFit? What comes after? And so I think about it and there were always roller coasters in my health and wellness and fitness journey. When you think about my life intake with my sleep, my supplementation, my macros, my movement was it cross training?It was whatever. And it was dictated by the moment because I was responding to my circumstances. I was responding to what was around me and, and reinventing myself to meet those, but never holding a vision. For once I met those circumstances, or once I utilize that energy or momentum to create a result, what would come next?And so then I was always left with what our friend Christine Hassler calls expectation, hangover. She wrote a book on it called expectation hangover. But then I would deal with like this reflective period. And then what am I going to do? Where am I going to go now? There's nothing wrong with that but it's just something interesting. I notice I was on this one journey that was right in front of me. I'm going to tie the world record for a standing box jump. So for seven months, all I did was train, jump mobility, explosiveness, flexibility, legwork, and everything. Until I tied the world record when I was in Afghanistan and then I moved on today, but the next thing wasn't right there.And so I kind of just lolly gagged through my fitness. I checked a box, I did everything, but there was never that big pole. Because I had never bothered to sit down and ask myself . We're playing a game of chess this is the long game I'm going to have a hundred years on this planet. This is fun. This is an awesome goal. This is an awesome thing to work towards, but this isn't the finish line. And so now where I am in my life, I realized that it doesn't matter to me, whether I tie a world record, whether I'm a competitive athlete, whether I can lift a thousand pounds or not. My goal is strength, functional fitness, health, recovery, eating clean, like treating my body like a well oiled machine.And it's so easy now because I am so clear on that vision that I have no problem getting up at 3:30 AM or eating clean and cravings are gone. And all of those things are gone. Now the difference is that now I have a mentor in my life. Who not only knows where I am, but knows where I want to go.And so when there's times that I can't think about where I want to go a year from now two years from now or three years from now, they keep me on track to hit my goal today to do the small things today that are going to help me get there. And then reminding me of what that big vision is. And so fitness and health seem ea
