9 for 9
29/09/14 I opened the doors for business on my first gym
While it didn’t quite follow the traditional path to success it did gift me with many lessons and takeaways
1: You’re never truly out of the fight
~ there was a couple times when things got tough I wanted to fold but when I had a talk with myself I knew i wasn’t fully applying myself …. Don’t comping a lack of results if your giving a lack of commitment
2: Have a plan and adjust as you go
~ don’t go winging it and hope for the best , have a plan and be able and willing to adjust it as your journey unfolds
3: Start with the end in mind
~ know where you want to go to, it may not be your final end goal but it’s a future point to aim for and you can measure back from there
4: Don’t try keep too many plates in the air
~ where your attention goes, energy flows & results show
5: Pick mirrors instead of windows
~ focus on yourself and what you got going on, looking out the windows of life has your focus on everyone and everything else
6: It’s all a skill set or mindset problem
~ I need to learn a new skill to over come the hurdle or I need to upgrade my thinking to over come it
7: Be yourself and connect with people
~ never have so many people preeched the importance of being yourself yet been fake and copy cat versions of others
As technology advances the human element is even more value than ever before in life not just in business
8: Roll the dice and leave no stone unturned
~ yes I would have loved to build it to a big sustainable profitable community but I can sleep easy at night knowing I gave it my all and tried everything legally possible to make it work
9: Take action, Take Action, Take Action
~ when you succeed is when you’re most likely to slip back to old ways , when you win keep the head down and push on further so that when you stop you are still far ahead of where you started
