It's not the absence of distractions that help you get a result.

It's the active choice to choose and be in the distraction and instead say, I see it, and I'm going to do the work. Have you ever had a friend who becomes vegan or, I don't know, went to Harvard University? Or, hold on. Is it Harvard University or college? See? I don't even know. I don't even know. but listen, if I had a friend who went to Harvard, I'm sure I'd hear like five times over.

They went to Harvard at least on a weekly basis, or somebody who bought like Timeshare or somebody who went on the best vacation, there are these things that people will say again and again around a particular topic and they won't stop about it. I don't want to be that friend. And yet, here I am saying I joined a new fitness program at the start of

26. But the reason I'm saying this is for a couple of reasons. Number one, when you say something

publicly, it's harder to quit. I really want, I mean, like, first week, I wanted to quit like four

times. Hand to heaven. I'm not a quitter. And I was like, this thing is hard. Number two,

accountability. I want to be able to do other things and set my goals along with other people. And three, to document the process of doing a new program, something that I hope changed is my life. Now, I've been pretty open about the business related programs that I've invested in in the past, like you've been listening to the podcast for a while, you know that I spent $50,000 on a four-month mastermind with Gary Vaynerchuk or $100,000 business coaching program. But this is a health and fitness program. Ooh, done, done, done. The time of this recording, I have been in the program about a month, and let me tell you, it's absolutely hard and it's awkward and I'm totally out of my

comfort zone. I've gone from feeling really frustrated to elated to cursing at my dumbbells at

five o'clock in the morning, but I haven't quit. But let's be real. I wanted to quit. I've really,

really, really wanted to quit, but I haven't. And this whole journey has reminded me of the

past programs that I've gone through. I've invested in a $20,000 program on how to build a sales

team. I invested in a $25,000 program on how to build a SaaS company. I invested $2,000 in a

program on how to create effective webinars. I am not new to starting and completing programs.

And I'm not saying this as like a flex of like the money I've spent. It's literally I'm just saying

there's a track record. I will invest in education. But this, like this fitness program, it feels

very different. It feels different because it is different. And because of that difference, I've

walked around with this fear that it's not going to work. I invested thousands of dollars for an

online nutritionist and a fitness trainer to deliver results. I've seen their results. But I'll

pause because I didn't just find somebody online. I was like, you, you're great. I've been

watching for a few

years without actually thinking or believing that that person can actually get me results.

I wouldn't say I was skeptical, but I'm always been a skeptic. My friend joined this program,
