10,000
There’s a thought process that with success the answer usually lies at 10,000
Malcolm Gladwell once said in one of his books that you need to spend 10,000 hours
To become an expert at a certain area
Basically the rule of repetition and the fact that people seriously underestimate the time horizon
And what can be achieved when we extend it
I did a training on this which blew a lot of minds within my ‘Improve’ online mindset coaching group
It was on long Vs short term games and essentially the power and evidence behind delayed gratification
It has probably taken 10,000 people locally to see our ads, hear about us and eventually 10% of that have used our Gym over the last 6 years
To get to the point we are now
I know from being in the fitness industry for 11 years and averaging easily 70 hours a week over that timespan
That I didn’t really feel like I was getting anywhere until 6 years in
And even now starting off with the online program
It will take a year or 2 to create traction and find what works
I recently just looked back on this email software to see how may I have sent since 2014
Over 1600 emails I have written and sent in that time
A lot of them not replied to or even looked at
A lot of unsubscribes ‘please stop emailing me’ and ‘can you stop sending me emails’
A lot of them (especially to begin with) really s***
But just like growing a muscle or getting fitter/losing weight
The more you do it
The better you get
The thing is
The longer you can delay that time horizon
…the bigger the upside on the other end
Stopping kills most goals and long term progress
NOT information, the ‘thing’, the obstacle, how you feel, motivation
If we just found a way to stop stopping you know you would achieve what you’d want to
It’s that simple
Yes you may need some coaching, some help and accountability
But you do not need to over complicate things
Again just like the weight analogy
would you ne happy with 4lbs weight loss over 4 weeks if you tried super hard and did everything right
questionable and many would say no, that isn’t worth the effort
BUT
a bit less effort, a more relaxed attitude to it and maintaining 75% of the good WI|THOUT stopping
And 52lbs weight loss
Would you be happy? Most would answer yes
The difference? Mindset and delaying the time horizon
Need any help or have any questions
