Hey, what's going on, guys?

Welcome at the Jeremy Scott Fitness Podcast, a radio show.

Coming to you on this Wednesday here very quickly, as I'm hungry, I'm tired, and I mainly don't want to do this right now, but if I only did things on the days I felt perfect, well, I wouldn't get a whole hell of a lot done. And again, side note, I'm at my home office right now, so if you hear my dog go berserk, she's just protecting me from Amazon Prime deliveries and all the other crazy things going on

in these mean Scottsdale streets here.

But I stumbled across this post and I wanted to drop it on to you today.

It came from my man Tommy Baker, and I've had Tommy on the podcast before.

Tommy runs Resist Average Academy, helps a lot of people, entrepreneurs, a lot of success

coaching, life coaching, just kind of helping people break through plateaus and do different

things, you know, in the fitness space, business space, and kind of everything in between.

But he shared this, and it resonated with me because I've obviously lived it over the past 10,

11 years, and I think a lot of you guys can as well, and I can speak on it with real life experience.

And I'm going to tell all this, realistic expectations.

And it's just in terms of if you're going to quit your job and be an entrepreneur, if you're going for a promotion, if you're trying to graduate college, if you're trying to lose 100 pounds, you want six pack abs, you're trying to find the husband or wife of your dreams, whatever it may be, you have to be realistic about the expectation you set on yourself and the goals you have and the timelines you have on those goals.

Now I'm not telling you to, you know, settle. I'm not telling you not to shoot for the moon,

you know, because if you miss, you'll be amongst the stars, is the famous quote. And I do believe

that, but you also have to keep it real. And you have to have a level of self-awareness when you're

doing stuff. And if you're at a time in your life when you're fragile and you're vulnerable and there's pain points there's people out there that are going to they're going to find those it's like blood in the water man soon as the sharks smell it they're going to circle and they'll come after you and they know you want to quit your job and you hate it and they're going to sell you their you know, high-end coaching. They're going to sell you on their mastermind group. They're going to sell you on that you don't like your body and here's how to do this cool sculpting bullshit or here's how you can, you know, drop, you know, 100 pounds in two months if you do this rapid fat loss program. And again, if it's too good to be true, if it sounds like that, it probably is, man. I'm not saying you can't get on the ground floor of something. Your best friend might create the next Uber and he's going to ask you to invest at the ground level. Maybe it's true, but odds are for every Uber, there's 10,000 other things that never took off and never happened.

And so in the fitness space, I see it a lot. It's like, hey, $5,000 to join my mastermind

group and I'll help you grow your fitness business from a guy who's never grown or started

or owned a fitness business. The same thing in our space.

Let me show you how to run a seven-figure gym

from a guy who's never ran a seven-figure gym.
