[Monday Mindset]: The Real Reason We Work So Hard
Happy Monday Mindset,
This past week, I flew to Poland for a family wedding.
Extended family.
Foreign country.
A million reasons not to go.
I’d already traveled this year. Our team is deep in development mode, planning for some big Fit Body 2026 moves.
My calendar? Maxed.
Honestly, I was leaning “no.”
Until a conversation with my brother Barrett changed everything.
He told me he was in.
And in that moment, I paused.
Reassessed.
You see, this trip wasn’t just about a wedding. It was about our mom.
She hasn’t left the U.S. since I was born. And at this stage in her life, this wasn’t just a vacation—it was a bucket list moment.
The kind of thing you don’t get a second shot at.
And I realized something…
This is why we grind.
This is why we build.
This is why we lead.
Not just to hit revenue goals or optimize KPIs.
But so we can show up for the people who matter most when it counts.
That’s the mindset message today: Zoom out.
Yes, the work is important.
But don’t let your mission cost you the memories.
Because when the meetings are done and the milestones hit…
It’s the moments with your loved ones that matter most.
Remember: Success means nothing if you’re too busy to enjoy it.
Be grateful this week.
