  • 67. Goals 101 (PLUS Summer Challenge Announcement!)

    We introduce our newest Summer "Rucking" Challenge. Join us July 8 - August 10th and Ruck with Us. Rucking is walking with weights. This is the perfect summer push whether you are beginnner to exerice or super active in the gym. Check it out at ARE YOU RUCKING WITH US to sign up and learn more.

    Now to the topic...

    We all have heard this one before. However, do you know how powerful writing your goals down really is? A Harvard Business study revealed amazing statistics relating to goal setting and success.

    • 83% of the population does not have goals
    • 14% have a plan in mind, but are unwritten goals
    • 3% have goals written down

    The study went on to find that the 14% who have goals are 10 times more successful than those without goals. The 3% with written goals are 3 times more successful than the 14% with unwritten goals. I was very surprised when first read these statistics. However, the more you think about it, it makes complete sense. Most people are not getting what they want in their life because they are not writing down what it is they actually want.

    (15:15) Write down your goals

    The future is unknown. Goals are scary. They can stay that way if you don't write them down. People believe what they see not what you say. Don't be shy. Own what you want and prove it by writing it down and GO FOR IT!

    (20:18) Visualize your goals on a daily basis

    Download your new and future informantion into your present day. Why? Because human beings can only gravitate towards the past and our previous experience UNLESS we pre-program our brains for future success.

    (22:15) Put the goals in "I AM" vs. "I WILL"

    Ownership is everything in life. Especially with Goal Setting and crafting your future.

    (27:25) Create an action plan to achieve your goals

    Short exectution and long term wins is the name of the game with goal setting (and achievement). But it will only work over the long term with HUMILITY and PERSISTENCE. With those 2 tools in your tool belt you will be unstoppable! Everyday counts. 3

  • 66. F.E.A.R. (A Burden or a Blessing)

    False | Evidence | Appearing | Real

    Fear is uncomfortable and it can either burden or crush your goals and dreams. However we like to look at Fear from a different angle. What if your F.E.A.R.s are clues telling you where you need to move towards.

    We believe behind your true F.E.A.R. is your superpowers. F.E.A.R. can be the fuel you need to learn about who you truly are and make you take action on uncomfortable things that will lead to your ulitmate personal growth.

    Join us as we unpack F.E.A.R. as our intention of this episode is to reframe F.E.A.R. so it can be your rocket fuel to achievement and success in any endeavor in your lives.

    3. Your Body is a job.
    4. Find the right tool (diet) for the right job (your body).

    We can make nutrition as simple or as complex as we make it. Join us as our intention of this episode is to make nutrition as simple as possible. We do this by breaking down each popular diet in the year 2023. But we also break down food logic, healthly habits, and how lifestyle plays into choosing the right diet (tool) for the right job (your body).
