Happy Monday Mindset!

I spent this past weekend in Atlanta with a friend group I met 20 years ago.

We worked together in sales for a private education company called Dream Careers, Inc. back in 2005, which was my first and only career before Fit Body.

For nearly a decade, we traveled the world together professionally which continues today on the personal home front.

They have been a blessing in my life.

Then after years of travel, life got in the way.

We didn’t lose touch but it had been nearly 4 years since we all got together.

Then 2 years ago, my good friend Chris married his beautiful Cuban-American bride Isabela in Puerto Rico and the crew was united.

It was a magical experience. 

I thought to myself, we need to be proactive in trip planning otherwise life will pass us by.

When we returned, I proposed we schedule a yearly trip where we put a 3-day weekend on the calendar.

So we planned St. Lake City last year.

We live in the 4 corners of the US (Los Angeles, Seattle, NYC, and Miami), so each couple gets to pick the dedication in round-robin fashion.

We don’t leave the trip until the next one is booked.

No, it’s not easy.

Yes, there are logistical issues with kids, etc.

However, my mindset message is this:

Life and business come at you fast.

If you don’t put down your priorities on the calendar first, life and business will pass you by.

Make it a GREAT week!

Happy Monday Mindset!

This week hits differently.

My mom, Donna, who we call “Mother Dove” is Michigan-bound on Wednesday.

She’s been my California roommate since 2014.

Lately, semi-retired, she’s moved between staying with me and my brother Barrett in Michigan.

Post-Christmas, she fled the Midwest freeze for some West Coast fun—and it’s been a blast.

We have had amazing moments.

We’ve squeezed in time for evening dinners. 

Hot tub vibes on weekend nights. 

Swapped stories from my childhood.

It’s been alot of fun!

While sad, I’m pumped for the next chapter with Barrett where she will spend the rest of the year before bouncing back to California again in January.

But here’s the real talk:

Time moves.

You have less than you think.

In a blink, it’s gone.

My message today?

Put the people you love first!

This is what matters in this thing called life!

Happy Monday Mindset!

I spent the last week in Houston, Texas for our 1st Mastermind Workshop of the year.

Fit Body Mastermind is a leadership coaching program designed to provide extra leadership training for our owners. 

We had a solid crew of presenters who taught about leadership, process, and client experience as our theme. 

My buddy Dean Stott kicked it off with a ½ day of leadership training citing his experience in the British Special Forces and in completing 2 Guinness Book of World Records.

I linked my podcast episode with him HERE and below, for the full story we recorded back in 2023.

However, the cliff notes are that he completed the fastest bike ride from the tip of South Argentina through the top of Alaska in 99 days which beat the record by 19 days.

His secret?

In his planning phase, he spoke with the previous world record holders. 

All 3 of them started in Alaska and ended in Argentina.

From what they all shared, South America was by far the hardest part of the trip compared to North America due to a variety of factors most notably because of road and political conditions.

Due to his research and planning, he decided to flip the script and attack the hardest part first.

Therefore, he started in Argentina and ended in Alaska which was a contrarian move. 

As you would imagine, there were main twists and turns but he overcame them. 

This is the mindset lesson I derived:

Do hard first, then life gets easy.

The opposite is true.

Make it a GREAT week!

Happy Monday Mindset!

“OMG, babe, something is wrong, I cannot walk!”

That is what I shrieked in late August to my wife Tatiana as I hopped off the treadmill just finishing my 2-mile run in agonizing pain!

You see, I love to run as it unlocks mental clarity and creativity which is my therapy. I run a couple of miles a day.

However, while I am a fit guy, flexibility and mobility are the weakest part of the fitness game.

The problem?

It became apparent when my legs locked up in the pain due to the tightness. I was now facing a Level 10 problem due to my lack of focus on it.  

I realized in that moment, that unless I begin to take action toward increasing my flexibility, there’s a tough road that awaits me.

So the next day I swallowed my pride and researched stretching coaches in my area which led to David.

I walked in on September 10, terrified but knew I needed help. 

After the initial stretch, while difficult, I could see the value.

I then asked for a long-term discounted membership.

Why long-term?

Well, I know that 1-2 months of stretching is a good start. However, it’s not going to reverse the 41 years of lack of attention.

So that next week, I got to work with David. 

Initially, we met 1x per week and after a few months have now increased it to 2x per week with 1 yoga session on Sundays.

It hasn’t been fun or easy.

In fact, hard, really hard.

However, fast forward nearly 6 months and I just hit my 40th guided stretch.

Am I a rubber band man yet?

No.

However, I’m out of pain and can see significant progress!

Game changer!

My message?

In the words of my friend Craig Ballantyne:

Identify what your Level 10 problem is and then begin to take Level 10 action against it!

This is how you build a better life.

No, it won’t be easy, but if you stick with it, it will be worth it.

Make it a GREAT week!

Happy Monday Mindset!

This past weekend I spent in Daphne, Alabama.

I was there with my Fit Body Boot Camp Media team to capture some inspirational content showcasing some amazing transformations of our Fit Body clients.

While that was the business focus.

I was also there to acknowledge our amazing clients of Daphne Fit Body, and my dear friend Steven Hadley.

Steven and I met over 12+ years ago and he’s had a big impact on my life and career. We have learned and grown with each other over the years.

He has a big heart and passion to serve our mission of Inspiring Fitness and Changing Lives which he has done successfully for nearly 15 years.

He’s also a great leader and we have a mutual admiration for the great Nick Saban. 

To his big credit, he’s brought massive innovation to our brand so it was a neat opportunity to spend some time with him, his wife Lori, and the team for a win-win.

While there I had a BIG AH-HAH which made me think of you.

With all the hustle, bustle, and distractions in this thing called life.

The truth is that if you have 1) health and 2) relationships with good people who love you, you’re doing well in life.

If you’re anything like me who sometimes forgets this truth.

This weekend was a giant reminder of my blessings.

My hope is you take 2 minutes this Monday and reflect on yours.

Make it a GREAT week!
