I'm going to tell you a story.
When I was 19 I got my first personal training job.
I had a couple jobs and they were just retail and I worked at a pool but this was my first
big girl job.
This was the first job where I had a decent amount of responsibility.
I was hired based on my potential.
Not because I was the best personal trainer out there, but because they saw a lot of potential
in me.
They were going to train me up to be a good personal trainer.
3 months goes by and they sit me down for my first performance review and they say "I
know this is going to be hard to hear... you've been doing a great job here, you have a lot
of potential, BUT there's something that you need to address.
Your work ethic sucks."
And that was really hard to hear for me.
Here I am, I was a straight A student, I was an athlete, I thought that I knew how to work
hard and apparently I did not.
Out of a place of love, I want to tell you... that you've got a lot of potential.
You've got all of the necessary tools to reach your goals.
BUT..
Your work ethic sucks.
You're not willing to actually put in the hard work necessary to reach your goals.
You're doing just enough to scrape by and say that you're making an effort, but not
enough to actually get results.
Maybe you're showing up to the gym a couple times a week, but kind of sleeping through
your workouts.
Maybe you're showing up to the gym, doing your weights, your cardio but you're not paying
any attention to your nutrition.
Maybe you've got some stuff that happened to you in your past that you really need to
turn around and face so you can approach fitness and exercise and nutrition from a place of
self-love, and you're avoiding that hard work.
You're doing something, and I don't want to negate the importance of that because doing
something is better than nothing at all.
But at the same time, your work ethic is not to where it needs to be to really get results,
to really change your life.
And that's what I know many of you are after.
You're tired of being fat, you're tired of being uncomfortable, you're tired of being
tired all the time.
You need a life change.
You want to feel different, you want to act different, you want to be more confident,
you want to not have to drag your ass out of bed every morning.
You want life-changing results.
But your WORK ETHIC SUCKS.
you need to do something about that.
You need to address that before you go any further.
You need to do whatever you need to put in the work to be successful and don't just skate
by doing the bare minimum, saying "Well, I tried it and it didn't work so that wasn't
for me."
I love you guys, this is coming from a place of love and I know it's hard to hear but at
the same time it's one of those really important lessons that can totally change whether or
not you get results.
