A FRANK CONVERSATION ABOUT HEALTH, WEALTH AND RELATIONSHIPS
I bet every single man reading this post would like 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄
To feel more energetic, strong, able
To be able to grow their income and investments and be able to do more of the things they want
To be able to look at their partner, friends, family and feel inspired and appreciated.
𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐰 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭
It’s not because they can’t
It’s because they give up.
They succumb to the process and work it takes
But what they don’t realise is this…
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝗪𝐎𝐑𝐊 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝗪𝐀𝐑𝐃
The suicide rate for men peaks at retirement age.
Why?
Because the 𝗪𝐎𝐑𝐊 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝗪𝐀𝐑𝐃
WORK is the summary of your efforts in life
The hours spent doing hard things, when as a human, you’re wired for easy
Some men work intensely when the conditions suit
But when things get hard, they put the spade down
𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐡, 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐝 𝐚𝐭 ‘𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡’ 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬.
It’s no wonder they struggle
Listen – this statement is key.
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐃𝐨 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐬 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐃𝐨 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠
You can’t cut corners at every opportunity and expect riches at pay day
Success leaves clues and the clues are so obvious…
𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝗪𝐎𝐑𝐊
That’s why I feel privileged to serve the men I do…
They understand that if you want to change your situation, you need to change yourself.
I love you lads
I’M SO GRATEFUL I WOKE THE FK UP!

At some point, you started believing in a story
A made-up story that told you, you had to settle
You listened to the people around you
Giving you 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 advice about how to live 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 life.
I know it, because I was the same…
The advice, may have been offered with good intention,
The problem was, it was based only on how 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 view the world.
They judge 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 ability based on 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 ability
They judge 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 potential based on 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 self-worth

THE CHEF THAT CHANGED HIS WAYS
Today, I’m going to dump praise on one of my favourite ever clients.
Nicola is the owner and chef of Osteria il Coccia at Ettalong Beach, Central Coast, Australia.
(𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘵?)
He came to me in February this year because frankly,
𝐇𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡*𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞
Nico had experienced the highest highs of the hospitality world,
It brought highest commendation
He even wrote his own book
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐬, 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬
Restaurant life can take a toll on you in many ways
High stress, crazy hours, relationship and financial pressure,
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐃 𝐡𝐢𝐭
He was already struggling, and now it got worse
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚 𝐬𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲
This is a story of a man that drew a line in the sand, joined BBA and said
𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐒 𝗪𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐌𝐄, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒 𝗪𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐌𝐄
I’m going to be a better husband,
A better dad,
And a better leader in my workplace.
𝟔 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬 𝐨𝐧, 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦,
To be honest, I was worried, because I could hardly understand his Italian
Yet Nico turned up to EVERY CALL
That’s the thing about the New Nico,
He just shows up every FKIN day!
𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭-𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝟏𝟎 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡𝐬, 𝐡𝐞’𝐬 𝟐𝟑𝐤𝐠 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟐𝟖𝐜𝐦 𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐮𝐭
But, the fat loss is far more because he’s built some serious muscle which offsets the weight
Nico’s personal power has been harnessed and he navigated a horrible time for hospitality like a champ.
And NOW, Nico is the beating heart of our Better Body Academy.
𝐈 𝐅𝐊𝐈𝐍 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫
And I am so proud of the man you are!

But that doesn’t mean you need to accept them.
Can’t wait for a big bear hug in January!

FAT LOSS DONE SIMPLE - NO WAY!
Losing and maintaining weight can be super challenging
But fat loss is actually very simple.
The industry is filled with bro-scientists
𝐓𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮:
Dumb supplements,
Stupid diet plans (keto….cough cough)
And the latest HIIT training regime to get you ‘𝘴𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳’
Oh gosh…
𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤, 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠…
What is it that has stopped you in your previous attempts to lose fat?
Stop…
Think…
My guess…
You got busy, then you couldn’t keep up ‘the thing’
You did it alone – things were good when good, but you fell off when it got tough?

𝐒𝐨, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐒 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩?
Getting a simple plan that integrates into your busy life.
Getting some support and accountability along the way.

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟𝐟, 𝐲𝐨𝐮’𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭:
A permanent coach to guide you
150 other men around you doing the same thing AS you.

Let me know
YOUR BEST LIFE - COULD YOU WRITE IT OUT?
One of the most confronting questions you can ask yourself is
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘋𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘔𝘺 𝘉𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦?
It’s confronting because most of us have never asked it
And could it be that this is the reason why we don’t have it?
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 ‘𝐢𝐭’ 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 ‘𝐢𝐭’ 𝐢𝐬?
Most of us having this nagging voice in the back of our minds asking ‘is this all there is?’
And that’s because every day, we get up and press play without thinking too much
𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐲, 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭?
I want to plant a seed for you
You can decide whether or not you want to water it.
𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬…
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓!
In fact, you can be utterly brilliant and fulfilled.

And if you can find just one other person that’s doing or being what you like,
Then you can do and be it too…
Use that person as a tool for inspiration, not a figure for comparison.
I believe in you
𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐉𝐚𝐬𝐞
LIFE IN THE GAP - HOW DO YOU EXPERIENCE IT?
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘢𝘱
The void between where you currently are and the best expression of yourself
Most of us experience this as lack
“𝘐’𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩”
“𝘐’𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘵”
“𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘐 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵”
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠… 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 ‘𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭’
Because your idea of ‘a 10’ is always changing
Because the more you learn, the more you realise how little you know
Because the higher you rise, the more you recognise your potential
Because the more time you spend in discomfort, the more immune to discomfort you become and therefore the more you want to experience it.
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦, 𝐰𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐚𝐩
How to cultivate gratitude whilst still remaining ambitious.
By formulating a clear life vision, we become less distracted by the noise
We slice through the BS stories we tell ourselves with greater self-awareness.
We engage those higher faculties that have been lost to us… imagination, creativity, will, reasoning and instinct.
We stop operating in a blind, hypnotic rhythm where life ‘happens’ instead of choosing it
And we begin to overcome the inner resistance.
And if this all sounds like a whole lot of utter nonsense,
𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞
If you apply to join the Better Body Academy, AND you commit to the process,
Your life will change.
Love Jase

𝟏 - Why try to figure everything out on your own when best practice exists?
𝟐 - No amount of reading, listening, or researching will take the place of real action. Planning and preparing are useful until they become a form of procrastination.
𝟑 - The numbers don’t lie – look at the data; what does it tell you about your actions.
𝟒 - You can never manage time – you can only manage tasks – what’s your priority?
𝟓 - It’s usually the things you don’t want to do that need to be done the most.
𝟔 - Work ethic is critical, but if you’re so fried you can’t think straight, you need to take a break.
𝟕 - When things aren’t going right, it’s easy to find someone to blame. It’s harder and way more beneficial to take ultimate responsibility.
𝟖 - Your motivation will always waiver because it’s an emotion; Your discipline will keep you going, because it’s a standard you hold when you believe in what you are doing.
𝟗 - If you only value security, you will never get very far. Taking risks and leaving your comfort zone shocks you into growing.
𝟏𝟎 - You think you’ll be happy when you make a certain amount of money. But when you do, you adapt to it and start look for the next level. Fulfilment comes from personal growth.

I’M NOT ‘ON HOLIDAY’, I’M JUST CURRENTLY IN EUROPE
Cordia took this photo of me yesterday when I was on a catch-up call with one of my favourite clients Nick Duggan.
He’s in Sydney
I’m in Corsica
And it doesn’t make a difference
Because when you really give a shit, time zones are irrelevant.

‘𝘈𝘮 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘬𝘪𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧?’
It felt like I was just working for years for free, never getting ahead.
But, I still knew what I wanted, and kept getting up again.
The vision has been the thing to keep me going when it sucked.
A clear vision gives you direction
A clear vision gives you strength
A clear vision will one day come true if you just refuse to give up
When I look at this photo, I have so much gratitude

It’s about getting the fundamentals right
That is, not ‘𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘯’

Our Academy is completely different to anything out there
The goal is to teach you, not tell you how to do it
And this my friend, means you can start turning back the clock
And living a healthier version of yourself… NOW
LET'S GO ON A MAN-DATE!
Just you and me brother…
Now, we’ve had a couple of drinks, and you ask me a question…
“𝘑𝘢𝘴𝘦, 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥? 𝘈𝘳𝘦𝘯’𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥?”
Good question…
My response would be…
“𝘋𝘶𝘥𝘦, 𝘐’𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘐’𝘮 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘥…”
I know what I want
I turn 40 next year
I might be half way to my death,

I realised about 3 years ago, that no one was coming to save me…
I was bored, uninspired, and life felt like Groundhog Day
Then when COVID hit and I had a kid coming, I lost my entire income and all sense of security
It was uncomfortable and scary AF
But I realise in hindsight, it was a test
A test whether I was ready to step up or not
Or whether once again, I’d play it safe.
As I sit and share a drink with you brother,
𝐈 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭, 𝐈 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐢𝐭
You’ve been sitting on the fence, “𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵”
But you know what, getting in shape will be the catalyst for massive confidence growth
The growth in confidence will improve your self-belief
And the self-belief will give you the “motivation” that you see in me

And I’ll know exactly how you feel, because it was me once.
Now’s your time mate!
JUST GET STARTED – TIK TOK, TIK TOK!
Let’s face it, you’re shitting yourself…
It’s like sitting at the bottom of Everest
Wondering how the hell you are going to lose weight
When you’re so out of shape,
When you’re tired after 5 minutes with the kids,
When you’re so unmotivated,
When you’ve tried all the diets,
When you’re intimidated about the gym,
And when you’ve almost lost your sense of self
It’s easier to just pretend it’s not an issue and will go away
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭
You wake up in the mornings thinking ‘𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵!’

The hardest part about transforming ANYTHING in your life,
𝐈𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝,
Creating the activation energy to get your ship moving is hard,
But once it is moving and in momentum, things get easier.

Wishing they could do it,
Finally ,they rip the scab off, focussing on JUST the first step
And then fast forward 4-5 weeks, they’re climbing the stairway,
Without running out of breath
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞, 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝
It’s only when we’re at the top of the hill that we look back down and think,

THE ART OF ALIGNMENT - DO IT TOGETHER!
Imagine this…
When the kids went to bed tonight,
You randomly said to your partner…
“𝘓𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘢 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳…”
Maybe you’ve entered a bit of a rut
Maybe you feel like you’ve lost yourself
Maybe the time challenges of being a parent have meant there’s no time for you guys
Well this is where you can create some leverage
𝗪𝐎𝐑𝐊 𝐓𝐎𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑!
Two heads make lighter work
You could eat the same delicious stuff, that would help you both lose weight
You could take up an afternoon walk together with the kids, and start tracking your step counts
You could sit down, and relook at your couple goals and vision
You could reconnect intimately, by just putting some time aside
Hell, you could collectively, have a week or two off the grog
One of the hardest situations for transforming
𝐈𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭
It creates separation, tension and hostility
Yet we have so many couples in BBA that have done it TOGETHER
Not just FOR the kids, but for themselves
When you are your partner are in alignment,

Commencing a health journey together,
Could be the springboard to a new level of love and connection

LET'S FACE IT -- KRISTIE'S CHANGE IS CRAY CRAY!
Do you ever look in the mirror and feel like you’re aging at warp speed?
Like your face reflects the recent life-challenges you’ve been through?
And despite the fancy moisturisers,
You can't wash away the ‘stuck-ness’ that you feel?
When most people enter a transformation,
They think only about their body
“𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘪”
“𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴”

When you start to build better habits externally
Something will shift inside you that will change how you think
Second, your face will de-age
As our girl Kristie Keenan perfect demonstrates
As you better hydrate
You become more active
And you get a handle on your sleep and stress
𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐬
People will start to notice
Saying things like ‘𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘵’
And you’ll know, it’s because you decided upon a lifestyle change
My gosh, this is a face the world needs to see Kristie
Vibrant AF, not a day over 21… yesssss girl!

"I'M STARTING IN JANUARY"
I get it!
January is a fresh start, right?
It’ll be nice, because Christmas is out of the way,
And everything will have calmed down…
Haha, that’s what we tell ourselves.
𝐃𝐮𝐝𝐞, 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧…
If you had a burst pipe in your house,
𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘪𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘹 𝘪𝘵?
Letting it slowly flood your house,

The pipe is burst…
It's flooding man!!
And by January, two things will have happened,
You’ll have put on more weight over Xmas
You’ll be none the wiser on how to get it off
January comes, you say to yourself…
“𝘈𝘭𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵’𝘴 𝘨𝘰!”
Only now, you have zero momentum,
It’s like clutch-starting a dead car!
𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤, 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤, 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤… 𝐬𝐡*𝐭,
“𝘈𝘩𝘩𝘩, 𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘍𝘦𝘣𝘳𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘺!”
And now you feel even further behind, because guys like Luke Durham here are in momentum!
Dude, draw a big fat line in the sand… NOW

WHY LOVING YOURSELF IS NOT EGO
I got a comment the other day saying,
‘𝘔𝘢𝘯, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘢 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴’
At first, I was like ‘shit, that’s not a good thing to project…’
But then I thought about this a little deeper
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠?
And I am not being critical of that
I speak to so many blokes whose self-worth has been destroyed
Who have reached rock bottom and want to turn it around
They want to look at themselves in the mirror and feel good again…
𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐬𝐞𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐠𝐨
I can remember back to a time that I put on a bit of a front
But in truth, it was a protective shield for that fact that I felt very self-conscious in certain crowds
And that’s because I didn’t know myself that well
𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭…
I know what I am capable of
I know the impact I can make
And I know the love I bring every day to my tribe
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐞𝐬, 𝐈 𝐃𝐎 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐌𝐘𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅!
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐰𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞
Because it allows me to be a better dad, a better partner, a better friend and a better coach
When you have love for yourself,
You are free to go and live by your purpose
If you live without self-love,
You can be sure that your view of the world will be jaded,
And it’s not because of the world
It’s because how you view yourself…
YOUR BODY IS THE SYMPTOM, NOT THE PROBLEM
Over the last week, I’ve had three inboxes from different people saying ‘man, congratulations, you’re doing so well…and I need help.’
In the most raw, lonely, low points in our day, it’s as if the truth shows its real face.
It’s when a man allows himself to feel vulnerable, for just a second, that he sees a glimpse of what his life COULD be like, if he had the courage to go after it.
But why is it that we’re so reluctant to take the first step?
Why is it that when we let ourselves get ‘busy’ again with work, family or other tasks, we so easily go back into the comfort zone?
It’s called the ‘comfort zone’ but it’s far from comfortable.
It’s a state which we call ‘normal’, but which is filled with discontent, boredom, unease and resistance to the present moment.
That constant feeling of ‘is this all there is? This is not making me happy’
It’s like the hum of an air-conditioner that we’ve become so used to, because it’s there all the time…
Most of us use alcohol, drugs, work, family or food to distract us from the reality.
And this causes the rapid deterioration of our bodies.
The ‘treatment’ that we’re using (alcohol, food, et al) to ‘fix’ the problem gives rise to your ‘symptoms’.
Weight gain, tiredness, snapping at others, stress and then eventually, diabetes, heart disease, gout, arthritis… these are just symptoms.
They are not the ACTUAL problem.
The problem stems from the fact that you have lost yourself.
What it means to be YOU man!
What makes you happy, what makes you feel loved.
Here we’re getting to the root cause, not pissing around with surface level crap.
How do I know this?
Because I’ve been there.
Keeping myself as distracted as possible so I never had to face the reality of my life situation.
It changed when I created leverage. This is a KEY word!
I spent money on a coach to get help; I invested in books and courses.
Because what I realised was that I needed to raise the stakes so that I was invested.
So that I had something to lose.
Is it perfect now? No way!
But it’s a million times better than being the victim and acting like you don’t have a choice when indeed you do.
It’s this reason that the majority of my personal coaching clients come to me when they’re near ready to give up.
Because I’ll not only help them treat the symptoms, but we’ll deal with the root cause.
And you will get results.
Reach out if you want this…
Let’s get creating a plan for you!
