| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to this episode of the ESG Fitness Podcast. This episode is all about the main |
| 0:08.1 | reason that people don't start, which is a fear of failure. This was sparked by a conversation |
| 0:16.2 | I had, in fact, a few conversations that I had this week with people thinking about signing up to commit six. |
| 0:22.6 | And this is really common because really I target commit to six on, oh, that sounds very. |
| 0:29.4 | Basically, I created commit to six for people who have tried dying numerous times and it hasn't worked for them. |
| 0:39.3 | I would say the vast majority of people I work with feel like maybe borderline there's something wrong with them or that diets |
| 0:45.0 | don't work for them or that they fail all the time or they don't have willpower or there's |
| 0:48.4 | something wrong with their metabolism but there's something holding them back. So as a byproduct of that, a huge barrier for people |
| 0:56.5 | starting is this fear of failing. So this was one of the messages I got. She says, |

| 1:36.3 | the fear that everybody has. Because if I could guarantee you results, you'd sign up no problem. |
| 1:44.0 | Right? Like there's actually, the underlying fear is, will I sign up no problem, right? Like, there's actually, |
| 1:45.2 | the underlying theory is, will I be able to stick to this? Will I get the results that I want? |
| 1:50.7 | That's always the crux of it, right? Because people are signing up for a reason. They're signing |
| 1:54.1 | up for a result. And the fear is, will I be able to put in the work to get this? Or will I |
| 2:00.6 | be supported enough? Or will I be supported enough? |
| 2:01.6 | Or will this work for me? And I get it because, as I said, most women that I work with have |
