Putting yourself under too much pressure in business is never a good thing.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣It leads to:⁣
⁣⁣
⁣- Over thinking⁣
⁣- Rushed decisions⁣
⁣- Trying to do too much at once ⁣
⁣- Overwhelm⁣
⁣- Dissatisfaction ⁣
⁣- Failure to move forwards⁣
⁣⁣
⁣However no real pressure to move forwards leads to:⁣
⁣⁣
⁣- Lethargy ⁣
⁣- A lack of ambition⁣
⁣- Poor action⁣
⁣- Not maximising your time effectively ⁣
⁣- An ‘I’ll do it tomorrow’ mentality⁣
⁣- Failire to move forwards⁣
⁣⁣
⁣For me it’s about striking a balance. Creating what I like to call a ‘healthy pressure’ which is enough to make you feel like you need to get stuff done but not too much to overwhelm you and feel like the task is completely unachievable.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Quite often however we aren’t aware that we need to place this healthy pressure upon ourselves and often blame other factors as to why we are not moving forwards. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣This is one of the things I help my personal trainers with on my mentorship program.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣We work through the program, but in a bespoke manner specific to their business. ⁣
⁣We highlight the biggest issues that are having the biggest effect on their business and then create some healthy pressure and accountability to get things created and put into action! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣This stops people moving off topic and keeps the pace of progress at a level that is very satisfying! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Who needs some healthy pressure and clarity to get the stuff done they promised themselves they would do a long time ago?⁣

I get it! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣You’ve been a PT a few years and you have a good idea of what you’re doing.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣It’s making some money and the rent is being paid...⁣
⁣⁣
⁣- But is it what you want? ⁣
⁣- Is it what you set out to do? ⁣
⁣- Are you where you want to be in your career/business/life? ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣If not you’re going to have to change some things, and that may feel a little scary. And it may feel like you’re risking what you already have, but that’s ok - it’s part of growing. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Keeping things the same in your business (even though you’re not happy with it) through fear of change is exactly what holds so many people back. ⁣
⁣I see it all the time, and they hide behind reasons NOT to do it, as opposed to...⁣
⁣⁣
⁣- Creating a clear vision of what this change is going to bring for their business and their life.⁣
⁣- Making a clear and structured plan of exactly how to make it happen.⁣
⁣- Getting nervous but excited about what lies ahead.⁣
⁣- Seeking help and support from someone who can help you and understands the process.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣If you do nothing, nothing changes and you stay scared. Call it comfort zoning or whatever you like, it’s like stagnant water that eventually goes bad. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣If you know you need to do something different to help your business grow then DO IT - don’t let fear hold you back.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣But play the percentages, do your due diligence, create a plan and then get to work. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣If your unsure reach out to me, I can help.⁣
⁣DM me ‘scared’ and let’s talk! ⁣

The concept works and is absolutely vital. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣However most people tend to apply this to a weekly schedule where they have to have work and ‘play’ in balance every week. For me that doesn’t always work. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣There are times where you need to push, times where you need momentum, and quite simply, times where you need to work your ass off for an extended period of time to get somewhere. This could be weeks or months. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣And then there are times where you need to take a break, step back, unwind, reflect, and remember why your doing all of this. This could be an extended period of time also. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I’m currently taking 8 days off after pushing various things HARD since lockdown back in March. I’ve earned this break but needed to get things done before I could justify it. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Of course sometimes this does work well into a 7 day week, and can be a lovely thing to try and manage. But it doesn’t have to be that way. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Doing it over a longer timeframe is sometimes necessary. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣It will ebb and flow. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣If you're early on in your career, adjust your expectations when it comes to work life balance, allow for fluidity to suit the situation. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Building a business is like interval training - it happens in a series of sprints, and some are longer than others.⁣

We all have those tasks we feel like we ‘have’ to do right?! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣This one mindset shift of changing your thought process from ‘I have to’ to ‘I get to will allow you to work through your day with more energy and positivity with what you are doing. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Remember, there are a LOT of people that would love to be in the position you are in. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Be greatful that you have the opportunity and ability to change peoples lives.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Be thankful that you are in control of your career and you can decide how to shape it.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Appreciate that the hard work you put in comes directly back to you. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Know that you are in control and if something isn’t working the way you want it to you can change it and make it work! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Don’t feel sorry for yourself when things get tough or when you’re doing something you don’t want to be doing. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Remember how lucky you are and do it to the best of your ability. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I’m glad I ‘got to’ post this for you today 😀 ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Have an awesome week!⁣

A saying I’m sure everybody has heard at least once. However it’s so so true.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I see so many people placing limitations on themselves and if I’m honest I’ve been guilty of this in the past too.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣We hide behind excuses, or we think that just because we’ve never done it before that it isn’t possible.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Imagine if Muhammad Ali thought that way, imagine if the Wright brothers thought that way, imagine if Steve Jobs thought that way. (First 3 people that came into my head 🤷‍♂️)⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Remember that you are an incredible human being, but only you can decide how much you are willing to change things. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣AS A PERSONAL TRAINER I BET YOU TELL YOUR CLIENTS THIS ALL THE TIME! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Make sure you take a dose of your own medicine and realise that if you want to take your business forwards you 100% can! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣You’re not prevented because of your location, your qualifications, your lack of tech knowhow or anything else.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣These are just hurdles, hurdles you will bound over once you stop holding yourself back and make a decision to go and get what you want to get. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I CAN HELP YOU! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣DM me ‘competition’ before the weekend and I’ll jump on a FREE call with you to see where your business is at, analyse a few key metrics and give you some BIG advice and tasks for you to start taking action and moving things forwards to where your business and income can be. ⁣

Today I’m 34 years old, and I found myself reflecting a lot (especially after the year we’ve all had so far)⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I just wanted to create a post to say thank you. Thank you to absolutely everybody who has helped me build the life I have, and the businesses I am immensely proud of. From my family and friends all the way through to the first gym manager to give me a job back in 2007. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣There are certain people that will read this that mean more to me than they will ever know and whom have had a massive influence on my life. ⁣
⁣To those people (too many to mention) I say THANK YOU and I love you! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Surround yourself with people that challenge you, people that radiate energy. ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Rid yourself of negative people and create positivity and opportunity in every scenario! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣Be cautious about how much time you spend with people that drain your energy leaving you energy-less to do the tasks you want to do!⁣
⁣⁣
⁣I’ve come a long way, but I’m nowhere near done yet. The rest of 2020...let’s be having you 👍😀

Personal training can sometimes be a very lonely job. Now more than ever! ⁣
⁣⁣
⁣As mentors not only do we aim to guide you on a clear and structured path towards the business that you want but we are also a great pair of ears to bounce ideas off of and host open and honest discussion.⁣
⁣⁣
⁣In this example it was just a case of getting my client Flo to realise she already knew the answer to her problem. ⁣

Ask for feedback from 𝘌𝘝𝘌𝘙𝘠𝘖𝘕𝘌.

Arguably more important than the testimonials you get from your happiest clients is the genuine feedback from those who didn’t get what they thought they might.

Take the possible criticism and adapt. Learn from it.

This is how people take stock, and move forwards in life and in their businesses.
