  It was very different from the typical gym environment. I found myself training for most of my adult life here. I was, you know, sort of in my early 30s and going at it again and I got to say it was amazing because this group format was wonderful, because I had a community that not only held me accountable, but I had a personal coach who held me accountable too. He did push me to my limits and I achieved results. I never thought possible Having that accountability partner transform not just my body but mostly my mindset. It was a true game changer.

  Then I'm actually taking access toward it. That's what this accountability system is for. That's why it's been so successful to help me, um, help other clients, get to 10 K months, lose a bunch of weight, write books, write great websites, sell companies and just really stay on track, more than they ever thought they could. I think it's so fantastic. I love everything you're throwing down, my man, because I I too I know there's times where in the past I've struggled with accountability, but but it's, it's funny. It's not accountability the others, it's accountability to myself yes and, and I know that that's why I need other people to hold me accountable you know, because as much as I, like to think I'm a self-starter. I know what to do, I can get this done and there's been periods of my life I've been able to sustain that output.

  Literally, it's been shown to be extremely successful for people when they have someone in their corner. It helps them maintain that accountability, not only to themselves but to the others that they're making those commitments to, just by doing the actions. The way I think about it is every time I go to the gym. Yeah, it's for me, it's to make myself feel better, because I know after a workout I always feel a little bit less stress. I also have a lot clearer focus with my mind. Attention-wise, I have better energy to be present. But I also remember that it makes me a better person around my family and around my friends and around my community, because exercise, or being healthy body, ties into my mental health as well. Everything's connected, right, but what happens when you're stuck? How do you get unstuck? The key is finding your why.

  Where's the accountability? Like what if people are actually serious about their goals and they don't want to have excuses anymore? What can be done about that? And from learning from Dr Benjamin Hardy, I've learned that, like what you said, just a 2% difference, 1% difference stacked up over time, compound interest not only applies to money, but applies to overall life success as well. To money, but applies to overall life success as well. And so, for example, a favorite example I like to use is you know, one of the clients I helped. He was in bad shape. He was, I think, like 100 pounds overweight. He was eating candy all the time and I said hey, what are the tiniest tweaks you can make in your life that you think would really help you?

  How to Stay Positively Motivated Even When Life Gets Hard

  A study in psychology today suggests that our motivation styles are as unique as our fingerprints. Detailed health stats motivate some of us, while others need a supportive community or a personal cheerleader, as I like to say, an accountabuddy, someone to hold them accountable right, that friend that shows up in your doorstep at five through the morning because they're your ride to the gym and they don't leave until you're at the door with them. Literally, it's been shown to be extremely successful for people when they have someone in their corner. It helps them maintain that accountability, not only to themselves but to the others that they're making those commitments to, just by doing the actions.
