How to Be Successful in Training and in Life!

It has been a very busy and challenging past couple of weeks for me. I am being pushed out of my comfort zones, doing things in business that I have no idea how to do, meeting deadlines and creating products, training clients, and having to push myself mentally probably harder then I have ever done before.

 I have been in the training industry for years now and starting out I didn't even know how to create a workout for someone else. I knew how to create one for myself, but to tell someone else what to do to create the body they wanted was so hard for me because I didn't know them or what they needed. NOW, that's the easiest thing in the world for me and I create workouts in my sleep (Not kidding lol).

The same is true when I decided to be an entrepreneur in the training field. I got my first independent client and just went with things trying to figure out what in the world I was doing now that I had somebody outside the gym with no one else to tell me how to do sales, schedules, workouts, meal plans, marketing, taxes, advertising, contracts, brochures, etc. I had a few...ok A LOT....of "I can't do this, I'm going back to a gym and just letting somebody else take all this big stuff so I can just train!" moments.

Yet somehow-years later-I never went back to a gym and am still running my health and fitness business with new opportunities and growth every day! Half of the things I am pursuing now with creating products and selling books and such is completely new to me and I am back to being the "newbie" asking everyone else pretty much every day how in the world do I do this!? The funny thing is whether it's in training, business, relationships, finances, or anything else the answer is always the same...YOU DO IT ONE DAY AT A TIME. 

You don't wake up one day and decide you want to be a successful entrepreneur and have millions of dollars handed to you with all kinds of gigs and major clientele lining up to do business with you. You don't wake up one day and decide you want to be a fitness model or competitor and all of a sudden you have your 6 pack, striations, developed delts and quads and you are ready to go...NO. You get there one training day at a time, one meal at a time, one workout at a time and you do it every day! Then 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, you do wake up and you are that successful entrepreneur who actually knows what you're doing, you are an IFBB Pro or fitness model now mentoring and training new individuals with similar goals like you when you started out, you have $20,000 saved up from all the nights you chose to cook at home instead of going out, and you have an amazing relationship with a significant other because you chose to put in the daily effort to get you through the hard times.

That is the only way to be successful in anything you do in life. You take the day as it comes and you do what you know to do at that time trusting that the answers will come when you are ready for them. As the saying goes, "The teacher will appear when the student is ready."

 Life already prepares us with the resources and connections we need in order to reach our ultimate purpose so that part is easy and completely out of our control. Our only job is to enjoy each day at a time trusting that by following our instincts, our passions, and what makes us "tick" will get us to wherever we are supposed to be. 

If you want to be successful in your weight loss efforts, in your new business endeavors, in getting a budget and sticking to it, or traveling the world, then take one step each day to get you there. You don't have to know everything right now you just have to have the desire and passion behind it! I recently posted this video on facebook that a friend shared with me and I feel like it's a video that needs to be shared over and over again to remind us where our focus should be!
