Are you a Perfect 10?

I talk with people every day about how to maximize progress toward their goals. And it doesn't matter what the goal is, how far reaching it is, or how much work it is going to take to get someone there. The bottom line is that unless you are ready to take action today, nothing happens. You can sit and talk and analyze your own particular situation until it's upside down. It doesn't matter. Because until you take action, any action, you have made no real progress.

There is one very important question that I ask both clients and potential clients on a daily basis, and it is this...

"On a scale of 1-10, How committed are you to reaching and achieving your goals?"

Because after working with people for more than 14 years, and after having been a All-American soccer player myself, I know that unless you are a 10, you will fall short of your potential every time. Why? Because like I pointed out earlier, change takes action. Massive Action! And not just one action, but a series of actions every day and a relentless pursuit of your prize, whatever that might be.

You may have heard all this before. In fact, I'm sure that you have, but it is worth repeating over and over again, because you know what? It is likely that you have not done what you need to do yet.

I meet too many people who want change, but who are no where near that perfect 10. They might be a 7 or an 8 or even a 9, but unless you are a 10, life will get in your way at it's very first opportunity. And when you're not a perfect 10, you are much easier to trip up and send off track.

The good news is that you don't have to be perfect. In fact, bring yourself every day to the process of pursuing your personal, life, and fitness goals, and you will find that within this process of getting fit and losing weight is an awesome opportunity to truly grow as a human being. And guess what? That is what this is going to take. But again, you don't have to be perfect. You just have to be a 10, and be willing to take massive action every day, whatever that might be...

So, if you're ready to take that first step today. Give me a call or send me an email, and we will get you scheduled for your free consulation and health and fitness assessment (a $125 value), and best of all, an opportunity to take your first step toward being that perfect 10.
