KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Challenges and events made me stronger mentally every time and growth comes from challenging yourself
- You keep the end in mind and then break the journey down into smaller goals
- Most things are the most difficult at the beginning. You need to focus on what you can do today that will help you tomorrow
- Recovery is easy to neglect because it’s easier to keep pushing
- I’m very productive in the time I allocate for business and everything is systemised, the entire business can run effectively without me
- Get clear on the things you should be saying yes to and better at saying no
- Looking good, staying healthy and weight loss don’t necessarily go hand in hand
- Fat loss is as simple as understanding that if you are in a calorific deficit, consuming fewer calories than you need, you are going to tap into stored fat and burn it as fuel.
- When you resistance train you boost your metabolic rate and burn more calories
- Resistance training is one of the most under-utilised ways to lose body fat
- Calories are really important to understand but there are a number of other factors that impact on weight loss
- If you are working to a calorie deficit and not losing weight look to see what maybe the underlying issue
- You build confidence by consistently keeping promises to yourself but often the mistake made is to make the promise too big
- It’s the small consistent things we do over time that build confidence
- Learn to look at failure as feedback and make the changes needed to succeed
- There is a time for tough love and a time to be compassionate with yourself
