I always will believe that a good trainer, no matter on what level, demand of their clients 24/7. Change takes change. You either want it or you don’t. My clients aren’t perfect, they are people, and life happens. That being said, no one, no trainers around me have a success and completion rate that can touch mine. All my clients lose and the majority of them finish and enter into maintenance. They also excel far beyond that becoming trainers, self employed, change careers, and re-examine their life and way of living overall. They step outside of what they have known their whole lives. They battle the fears and regrets for long enough to see that they don’t just want mediocre. They want to step outside of that box they have made for themselves, hell, they want to run from it.

Why? I am good but am I really that good? Why do I do?

I don’t do anything, it is what I ask of them to do for themselves. This isn’t about ripped abs or skinny thighs. This isn’t about getting laid or finding a handsome husband. This is about being the best you that you can be, at any given moment in your life.  This is about demanding of yourself nothing short of excellence. Yes, love, money, career, sex, and security are things we want but this means little if inside you aren’t the person you want to be. I ask them to give the best of themselves and the few times they might not have it in them I ask for it again and louder.  Are you doing that to yourself?

The real question is, what does a diet have to do with self esteem? The answer is everything and nothing. It isn’t about a diet, it is about the dedication to yourself and health. It isn’t about deprivation, it is about self control and your inner strength. Last, but not least, it is about trust. You have to trust yourself and silence fear and self doubt. You have to trust the science. Remember, fat loss, building muscle, and health aren’t opinions. There is a science to it, there is a process and you have to silence all the doubt and wrong in the world and only hear the fact and correct.

The question now is, how do you start? How do you jump into that change?

One way is this first of Action Assignments. The purpose of these are to get you to share, in whatever form is assigned, your steps in working towards your new life and body. It may seem overly simplistic, but I assure you, these little daily steps can lead to big leaps.

Today your assignment is The Goal. Very simply, but very detailed, you need to answer the following questions in the comment box. This does not have to be about fat loss, but it does need to be about your body, life, and your hopes for the future. This may be a small corner of the world but I promise you it will be read and it will be taken in, even if only just us.

Note: You don’t have to leave your real name or email, just get it out regardless.
