Adam Schaeuble is a PHD. Not the kind of PHD you're thinking. It stands for Previous Heavy Dude. At his rock bottom, Adam weighed 327 pounds, and was over $40,000 in debt. But he had good friends who kept giving him the DVD of The Secret to watch. When he eventually did, Adam realized he needed to take his future into his own hands. Five years on, he's achieved everything he set out to - lost 100 pounds, started a family, and started a successful business. How? He stopped focusing on what the world was bringing to his door and instead started looking at what he wanted to achieve, and how he was going to attract what he wanted into his life. Positive mental attitude, a strong lifestyle rehabilitation statement, and consistency are key. Through this journey, Adam found his calling: to help as many people as possible dial up their health and get the results they deserve. Now a transformational coach, fitness expert and gym owner, he's helped his home town lose over 35,000 pounds, and is on a mission to help people lose 1 million pounds of excess body weight. His new podcast, the Million Pound Mission, goes into next-level thinking to take you deeper into nutrition and fitness, and motivate you to take action and get results. It's packed with inspiration and knowledge bombs - if you're trying to lose weight, this is the show for you! You can donate your weight loss to the Million Pound Mission here. Adam's Tips for Manifestation: Write your goals down as though you've already achieved them Declare your goals out loud every day, morning and evening Break down your goals into manageable chunks and take action Don't go to bed before doing at least ONE thing towards your goals Don't be afraid to focus on several goals at once Believe it, plug into that vision, how is it going to feel to reach your goals? Find your why - ask yourself why you want to reach your goal - that's what will get you fired up and motivated. Black Hole of Fitness Doom Do you fall into the black hole of fitness doom? When we embark on a new program, whether it's a fitness program or a new diet, we all go through the same cycle. We start out feeling pumped, then we begin seeing results and feel fired up. And then we have a "life happens" moment, we're not ready, so we crash and burn. We give up, believe that we've failed or that the program doesn't work, and we start another one. And on we go, losing weight, gaining it back, and each time feeling less motivated and more burned out. To break out of that cycle, it's vital to figure out your transformational danger zones and find strategies to deal with them. Once you do that, you will get dramatically better results from your fitness and nutrition program. Adam's Amazing Results Formula: If you apply these four principles to any health goals, you're going to succeed. Get committed to ONE nutrition plan. Be consistent for 28 days. Get committed to a 28-day fitness plan - plan your workouts in advance and stick to them. Strategic thinking - understand your danger zones and the things that usually derail you, and devise a plan to avoid falling into the Black Hole of Fitness Doom. Do the first three consistently over time. Consistency is key.
