It really helps us grow. We've been growing a lot. So we're just really appreciative of all of you, especially those of you that take a few seconds to help us out. But now let's kind of jump into the episode, help you out, get you fired up. This is Motivation Monday after all. So I'm going to start with some fire with a quote that I love.

1:28.2

Like I read it out loud and I was thinking,

1:30.2

how have we not heard of this before? Like this, this might easily become one of my favorite quotes. And this is something I'm definitely going to use and keeping my memory bank because I want to say it to other people, especially when people are having a hard time or doubting themselves because I think it's really easy all the time. A great example, I was out golfing. My buddy, I was like, okay, I'm gonna just hit this over on the green, but I gotta get over this big pond, right? Like, do you think I'll be okay doing this? And I was using like my wedge and he's like, no, there's not a chance, buddy, you're not getting it over that. And like my biggest thing I love when people doubt me. Like it just, it lights a fire me and he's like no there's not a chance buddy you're not getting it over that and like my biggest thing i love when people doubt me like it just it lights a fire me and i'm like okay let's see right i'm like let's put some money on it then and he's like okay you got to get it over and in the green 10 box i'm like done and of course i nailed it you know it's just something nice about just believing in it and this quote is such a great thing especially if you have selfoubt. If you're, you wouldn't see yourself as a confident person, this is a killer quote. Anyways, I'll stop preluding. I'll tell you what it is. So it's if you're going to doubt something, doubt your limits. Dude, that that's fire. Let that sink in. You know, like that's even like, I always always like to tell people look at where you are today

2:35.4

maybe you're not exactly where you want to be maybe have big aspirations but you know even me and

2:40.5

Kyle like all the time I'll be like man six years ago or seven years ago probably whatever it was

2:45.5

we're like awkwardly sitting in an extra room at the university filming a voiceover for a YouTube video like not knowing

2:52.3

what was going on you know like doing in programs that weren't relevant to what we wanted to do now

2:57.6

you know we have one of the biggest fitness podcast we have an incredible coaching business where we're

3:01.3

able to help thousands of individuals achieve their dream physiques like you know it's you got to be

3:05.8

appreciative of where you are maybe you've graduated school maybe even looking back high, there was a moment where it's like the hardest thing ever, you had an assignment. You never thought you'd do it. It couldn't happen or getting your first job or whatever it is. Like, you know, you'd be really proud, I think, most people of where you are now. So, you know, in a lot of us to achieve things we never thought we could have like i love seeing that and i love watching interviews of really successful people

3:26.8

there's just one car YouTuber with a Stradman and he was giving an interview kind of about his passion for cars. And he was saying how never in his life could have even conceived having this one car he had. Like it just wasn't even something he believed, right? And I find, you know, the best thing you can do is don't put limits on your success, right?

3:43.2

Instead, doubt your limits.

3:44.3

Say, how can I put crazy high goals?

3:46.4

You know, even when you look at some interesting and charismatic people, like even like the Connor McGregors of the world, definitely a little bit much.

3:52.6

But at the end of the day, like, you know, from the get go, they said, hey, I'm going to do this biggest thing. I'm going to be the champion or any amazing athlete. They always said, I wanted to be the best. You know, like, and giving yourself that belief, like, even I made a vision board for my laptop wallpaper because I realized, like, as much as I love the stock Mac backgrounds, like, I want to look at the things I want to do and achieve and that inspire me. And, you know, I just Googled, you know, our vision board's effective.

4:16.2

And it says yes, they're incredibly effective because by constantly seeing it, it becomes

4:20.2

common to your mind.

4:21.2

It helps you look for opportunities that may have otherwise not been there.

4:24.3
