 Are you frustrated in your business? Good, you should be. It's supposed to be hard. I got so sick at the gym this morning that I threw up and I was just like totally incapacitated. My whole body was shaking and my legs were seizing up and I was just laying on the ground crying. I thought I was gonna die. And business is exactly the same way. There is no better metaphor for business than fitness. Well, dating's a pretty good one too. Let's talk about it. Fitness is the ultimate teacher for life. There's no way to get quick, easy results. You have to be consistent. You have to go through the pain. You have to push yourself. And if you have long-term commitment to it, the results are incredible. They're well worth it. And anybody who's gone through the process knows this. And you also know that once you commit to doing something, once you make it a habit, it gets easier and it becomes a lifestyle. And now this immense pain that you had in the beginning is something that you come to learn to enjoy because you know it's gonna pay off. Now, I get messages from people in business who are new and they say I'm frustrated. And they just want to give up. And I'm like, you're frustrated. I'm frustrated every day in my business, okay? I hit walls, I hit setbacks, I get punched in the face all the time in business. And it's a normal part of it and I expect it. And whenever that happens, I tell myself, this is what I signed up for. This is the game that I'm playing. And for some reason, there's this weird thing when it comes to making money, especially starting a new business, if you're brand new, people think that it shouldn't hurt, that it shouldn't be painful, that it shouldn't be frustrating. But it's like, if you go to the gym, you know it's gonna hurt. You know it's gonna be painful. You know it's gonna be frustrating. And you know you gotta show up every morning anyways. And you know you gotta consistently feel the pain and push yourself to your limits every day. And if you can take this same attitude over to your business, if you can take, what am I gonna do? I gotta show up, I gotta be consistent. I gotta use a trainer, somebody who knows what's gonna get me results. I gotta follow the program. Even when I'm not seeing results, I have to stick with it and be patient. That's a big one. And I have to be willing to endure that pain over time because I know the results will be worth it. If you can take that same exact attitude to your business, you will be successful. I guarantee it. Everybody who does that is successful. Everybody who's consistent and endures the pain and knows that it's part of the process and doesn't cry about it and say, why is this hard? Why is this painful? Because you don't do that in the gym, do you? Because you know the process. It's the exact same thing for business. So go out there, go to work in your business every single day just like a gym routine. If you miss a day in your business, you should feel the same way as if you miss a day of the gym. You can't make up for that shit later, right? You can't make up for a workout the next day because the next day you gotta do the next day's workout. So every day in your business, put in the work, do the hard things that actually produce results. Don't be the girl in the gym just texting on the treadmill going five miles an hour thinking that you're getting a workout because you're not. And that's what people do in business, right? They're just on Facebook watching YouTube videos. They think they're getting a workout, they're not. Go do the hard things consistently. You're gonna get results, you're gonna be happy for it. And when you're in pain, when you're about to throw up in your business because you're so uncomfortable because your legs are shaking, tell yourself, this is the game, this is what I signed up for. I fucking love it because this is what's gonna get me results. Adopt that attitude, you're gonna be a winner.
