“If you don’t give up, you still have a chance. Giving up is the greatest failure.” – Jack Ma.

It’s about GRIT.

You will not hit your goal today.

If you do, it wasn’t really a goal but a task. There is a difference.

Each morning when you wake you have an opportunity to #wintheday to take a step toward what you want in the grand scheme of things toward your goals.

Each morning is an opportunity be a winner. You win by completing your routine. A routine that makes you more lethal, fit, smart, and valuable.

For me it’s excercise, reading, journaling, creating content, feeding those in my circle, meditation, visualization, and eating green first.

For you it may be different.

As long as it moves you toward what you want it’s a good thing and you win with you #dothehardthing of completing it each day.

Remember: There is #norestfortheworthy.

It’s be. do. have… in that order. Who will you be today?

“Though she be but little, she is fierce!” – William Shakespeare.

Probably one of the most well know verses from Shakespeare… and also one of the most misapplied.

In the case of one @MaryFrances06 I can promise you that is not the case.
I have had the pleasure of watching and working with this woman over the last 2 years and supporting her in her growth as a leader and entrepreneur.

She is committed to the process.

She’s willing to #dothehardthing when necessary.

And, she’s inspired many others to better themselves.

If you can have a partner who does all this, you are fortunate.

If you can have a partner who does all this consistently over time, you have found a rare ally.

My ally has been hard at work helping to build out this movement known as hardwodder as we continue to celebrate those who give their all in what they do.

In this photo, she is rocking the second in the #verbs line of tees and tanks found at hardwodder.com as she #honorsthework at #crossfitnorthphoenix in a shirt she herself created.

My question for you is this: What are you committed to? Don’t lie. The answer is in your results.

“You greatest expense is wasted time.” – Jason Archer

You know… so many people I come in contact with will balk at the idea of spending $150 dollars a month on themselves in the form of fitness.

Yet, in the same breathe talk about their bar tab from last night being $180.

Or their cable bill with the football package being $200 a month.

Or their truck payment being $600 a month.

Are you fucking kidding me.

What you are really saying is that your priorities are dicked… and that you don’t value your body as much as crap that will never serve you.

How well will you enjoy those things when you can not move at 50 years old… can not put on your shoes without help at 60.

The average person born today will live to 100 years of age.

Do you really plan to spend your last 40 years on the planet in pain, unable to move, and wishing you wouldn’t have wasted your time on shit that didn’t matter or make a difference in your quality of life.

Weak.

Time wasted on crap that costs you money and doesn’t serve you is the ultimate expense.

Yet, how many times will you put that $200 cell phone bill with extra data that you don’t use, ahead of your fitness.

I don’t have time + I don’t have money = Excuses.

My question today for you is this: Where can you spend your time in ways that will enrich your life? Today. Now.

#HardTruth . “Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years” – Bill Gates.

It has been my experience that to truly master any one thing, or to go to the next level in something takes roughly 10 years of practice.

One reason you see this red image show up once in every 3 posts is to ensure my writing skills are put to use.

It about mastery.

The same reason you squat first with a PVC pipe… you need to master the movement.

It’s a lot harder to get reads than likes when your competition on Instagram is some chick with a nice rack posting a selfie.

Which is fine, nothing wrong with a nice rack, but what will you do when those puppies are dragging the floor.

Are you bringing any other value to the game or just riding a temporary wave into nothing.

Seek mastery. Invest the time. Move well before you #loadthebar because it will give you longevity.

That is the gift of mastery.

“You have to turn on your obliques” – Carson Kemp aka @ck_sandbags .

If you want to turn right on your bike or motorcycle, you have to first turn the handlebars to the left.

Sounds counter intuitive… to go right, I have to turn left.

Try it if you don’t believe me. No bullshit.

Lots of things in life are this way.

Like if you want more stability in your deadlift, you need control over your obliques.

Sounds strange… after all, deads are all about the back and hamstrings. My sides have nothing to do with it, right? Wrong.

Core stability all about your middle is key.

One thing that will immediately make your deadlift feel more solid and put your back in a more stable position is to turn on your obliques.

Sounds counter intuitive to a degree, yet you can not deny the results.

Get after some “dead bugs” or “tuck hollow body holds” before you lift and see how you feel.

You’re welcome.

“Doing what needs to be done may not make you happy, but it will make you great.” – George Bernard Shaw.

Doing The Hard Thing is easy to talk about, but much more difficult to be about.

But really, you only have 2 choices in this life.

1. You choose the hard things you do to make your life what you want it to be.

Or.

2. The hard things you do are chosen for you by others living out their dreams while you remain a cog in their wheel.

For me, it makes more sense to choose the hard thimgs I do… the discipline… the deadlines… the hours seeking mastery.

Because in the end, win or lose, I want to leave this life knowing I lived the life I wanted.

What about You? What do you want for yourself and those closest to You?

#HardTruth. “I can show you many who have lacked, not a friend, but friendship; this however can not happen when souls are drawn together by identical inclinations into a an alliance of honorable desires” – Seneca.

People have lost sight of what friendship is… this idea that friendship is always getting along, always agreeing, or never experiencing any dissent is a lie.

That is not friendship.

Maybe you need someone to tell you the truth about the shitty state of affairs your in.

Maybe you need someone to kick your ass and tell you to get to the gym.

Not because they don’t care for you, but because they DO… and want you to be your best self.

That benefits everyone.

When you shine… you light up everyone around you. You elevate. You drive out darkness.

Be that kind of friend.

Be someone who brings real value to your relationships.

My question for you today is this: Do you have the sack to collide with those you care about? Do you have the courage to be unpopular for an hour in exchange for a lifetime of deeper connection when the dust settles?

“I don’t care how many… I care how deeply.” – Jason Archer.

This thought crystallized for me as I was listing to @andyfrisella rail against the fakery happening on Instagram.

It’s time to send a fuck you to the lack of integrity, the lack of authenticity and all the shiny happy people posting selfies who wouldn’t smile in real life if you paid off their house.

The point is it’s about seeking likeminded people to engage and build a community around. Not numbers.

And, the message here is never dumbed down to make it more palatable to attract less interested people.

The message is work hard on you, be consistent with you, and to hell with virtue signaling and victimhood. That is the essence of HardWodder.

Get busy building the business of you… and send a mighty heartfelt “fuck you” to the detractors and naysayers and the number seekers.

They aren’t doing anything they won’t be doing 10 years from now with even less efficacy.

As for me… I have a vision to fulfill and you’re welcome come as a supporter or stand aside and watch.

Either way, I move me and sew my own future with those I have deep connection.

I wish that same gift to you.

Boo! No way I’m missing a day.

Yep. “Action speaks louder than words, but not nearly as often” – Mark Twain.

Did you have some tasty gym style “candy bars” like mine for Halloween?. As I lift tonight, am thinking of where I am going with my body and my business.

Entrepreneurship and fitness are a 100% parallel… it’s a 24hr a day discipline day in and day out.

It’s mind, body and soul commitment to an outcome that doesn’t exist… and that same commitment to bringing that non existent outcome from nothing to reality.

You body is the same.

What are you fucking committed to? Just look at yourself in the mirror and you will see your answer staring back.

Or is Halloween just another excuse to avoid the work.

#HardTruth. “Never quit on your dream, but learn to cut your losses and quit your plan if it is not working.” – Ken Poirot.

I’m about to be homeless and it’s all my fault. I have to be out of my current home and the new home is no where near ready for living.

It’s my fault because I ignored the results that were being created… I overlooked busted deadlines and the guys simply being overwhelmed.

I ignored one of life’s cardinal rules: To cut losses short.

You hear this phrase a lot in the investment world… cut your losses quickly and let your winners run.

The same hold true for other aspects of life and healt as well, because everyday is an investment. You are always investing your time and resources somewhere.

The only question is where.

My answer to that question should have been: In results producing activities.

However, I did not. And I realize the times I experience the most frustration are times when I am not basing my routine, my workouts, my diet, or my interactions on quality results.

So my question for you today is this: Where in your life are you investing repeatedly in poor results? When you identify that area… Do something different.

“The cost of discipline is less than the cost of neglect” – Jason Archer.

If you want you get up early, you have to get to bed early. “No shit”, you say… thanks for the inciteful tip in your most sarcastic know it all voice.

Cool your jets, Starscream.

There is a point to be considered here.

And that is this: anything you neglect today becomes part of the pile you have to face tomorrow.
Yep. If 6am is your target and your up now at 8am, the you’ve successfully fucked yourself for the coming day.

You either have 2 hours less time to get shit done, or you have to cram, or you go to bed later to regain those lost hours… which will mean less sleep going into the next 6am morning.

Everything sets the stage for the next thing.

And that which you neglect has a ripple effect on your productivity, your well being, or both.

At some point, the piper will get paid.

All the stuff that has been neglected and pushed into the future has a negative impact on your outlook. You feel heavy. Overwhelmed.

You can dismantle that feeling with discipline. Do your workouts before you lose your body, take your woman on a date before she feels neglected, pay those bills before they pile up.

Stay on top and you will be lighter and freer.

“Do not go gentle into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light.” – Dylan Thomas.

Remember that version of you that would never take “no” for an answer.

Think about it… it was probably a long time ago before you gave up on having what you really wanted and decided to settle on some bullshit version of life you could tolerate.

Why? Only you know that answer… and only you can decide on creating a new “why” that will give you the body, relationships and connection you want.

That version of you… the one who decides and moves toward what you want regardless of circumstance is powerful.

It will move all of creation.

Why don’t you find that version of you and let it out! .
