A Pandemic Of Crawlers

People use the phrase, ‘Consistency is Key’ qso much these days that it has fallen into disripute. I think it’s very important to note here that you can be consistently bad at something just as much as you can be consistently good at something; so saying ;consistency is key’ well,…it’s not a very smart thing to say, not after you’ve analyzed it’s meaning and broken it down into segments. Why do people hire coaches then? It’s easy, they hire them because they want to change their consistenctly bad habits into consistent action towards attaining a goal that they didn’t know how to reach, because of what they were spending their time doing prior to hiring a coach. Which begs the question, ‘how do you spend your time?’

We can break this question down into sub-questions:

1. What do you spend your time doing when you aren’t at work?

2. Do you spend most of your time thinking and taking steps toward what you want to achieve?

3. Or, do you sit around thinking of reasons (they’re really excuses) why you “can’t” get there?

The catxh with this is most people aren’t even aware of these conversations they have with themselves, and if they are, they aren’t aware the damage it can do to your ambitions. I mean think about it! When a baby tries to walk and then falls over the first few times, do you really think they say, ‘oh well, …I guess that’s it then, I’ll spend the rest of my life crawling’?! If that was the case then we’d have a pandemic of crawlers! NO, don’t let those silly little non-sensicle voices in your head run ramped and lock them in a cage! Find a way around, hire a coach, do your own research and become your own coach! Practice, learn, repeat! become SKILLED. With all of the technology we have access to now, there’s no way you can tell me wholeheartedly that you “can’t do it”.

Below I have given you a real life example from one of my client’s results of some of the fitness testing they have done, because my hope is, that you will be able to take this example and use it as guidance for your own purposes; and ‘Yes’, they are gym results, but you can APPLY this method to anything - get CREATIVE!
