Summary

Do hard things. Valuable pursuits are difficult - embrace these challenges to grow, improve, and crush your goals.

Do Hard Things - Valuable Pursuits are Difficult

Nothing worthwhile is easy. Maybe we'll be surprised by how easy it is (maybe we built up a certain pursuit or task that we have inflated its difficulty).

Building habits of sustainable nutrition is difficult. Creating a training plan you stick too is challenging. Pursuing anything with regularity - which is what is required to achieve excellent or even competence in any area - is hard.

You have to make decisions every day that move you closer to that goal. You have to get in the gym or study the flashcards or write the words when you don't want to.

Additionally, you'll have to stop doing something, as if you have decided to spend more time doing something, that time will have to come from other activities you engage in.

Doing hard things feels good, if not in the moment, and leads to true happiness.

Do Hard Things - The Value of a Coach

We all have blind spots. These are patterns of behavior that we are unaware of for whatever reason that are producing the undesired outcomes we are trying to overcome.

It is challenging to be objective with ourself. This is the value of a coach.

A good coach can see things you cannot (or wish not) to see. A good coach can also help implement practical, realistic, sustainable solutions. This is necessary because a common pitfall comes from going too hard and then yo-yoing between too hard and not enough.

Progress toward your goal comes from sustainable habits every day.

Do the hard things, which require vulnerability, time, and effort. The hard things bring value and happiness.

0:00.0	Hey listeners, this is normally when we would talk about holiday sale or how
0:07.4	now is the right time to start with online coaching because of how much money
0:10.5	you can save. However, as I met with our marketing team earlier this month to
0:14.8	discuss promotional ideas, we found ourselves focusing on the ideal outcomes
0:19.3	for people who want to work with a coach. And that called to mind how many of
0:23.0	our clients got into this for the form corrections and ended up making real
0:27.8	life transformations through strength training. We realized that the ideal
0:31.9	barbell logic client is not afraid of hard work. They don't just have goals, they
0:36.5	are driven by continual self-improvement. They pursue strength because they
0:40.7	care deeply about the people who they love who depend on them. We know that
0:45.6	price is always a consideration when it comes to deciding to sign up for
0:48.9	something. But our successful clients tell us that in addition to carefully
0:53.0	deciding where to invest their money, they're also very intentional about how they
0:57.3	invest their time. And when you care about your time that much, there is fear that
1:01.8	you could waste your time and not see the results you want. If any of this sounds
1:05.9	like you, I'm here to make you a promise. You give us six months of two to four
1:10.8	workouts a week and if you don't see changes in your strength or form, we will
1:14.9	give you all of your money back. That's all six months. The worst case scenario is
1:20.2	it ends up costing you nothing. The best case scenario is you invest in yourself
1:24.7	and you get exactly what you want out of your training. The only risk is about
1:28.7	on yourself. It's time to place that bet and put your money where your goals are.
