Today we have Grant Thomas. He's been through our Enlifted certification and The Strong Coach 90-Day Program as well. He left a startup to start training clients to find out that he had to work a second job just to cover all his bills each month. He had the personal training clients, didn't make enough, also had to work the weekends. Now, he's got his client training workload down to three days a week and requires no additional work. He's going to share his journey with us today. You're going to get a lot out of it. Enjoy the show.

We all go through times where we question what we are supposed to be doing with our lives. Sometimes the answer has been around for as long as we can remember. We just try to please others and ourselves at the same time. Think way back about what you first wanted to do... Think about how that one idea shaped the rest of your life... And now think about what you do right now... What’s changed? Are you happy?    Regardless of all that, I’m going to tell you some very personal stories that helped me along my path. Some of the details will honestly blow you away, maybe even make you cry, but it sure as hell is going to motivate you.    Let’s go!  ------------------------------------------------------------------ Show notes: http://www.shruggedcollective.com/rc-ep102 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ► Subscribe to Shrugged Collective's Channel Here http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedSubscribe 📲 🎧 Listen to the audio version on the Apple Podcast App or Stitcher for Android Here- http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedApple http://bit.ly/BarbellShruggedStitcher Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals.  Usually in the gym, but outside as well.

Drew & Chelsea Dillon have been involved in the sport of Weightlifting longer than most coaches. Have participated at the highest levels of the sport and still found struggle in having a successful coaching business. They share what sets them apart from traditional weightlifting coaches/training and the journey they've traveled in business that has made the biggest difference in their ability to work with more clients while delivering a better service.

Mental toughness… it’s a hot topic right now. In the CrossFit space we see mental toughness as crawling through a lengthy workout or holding on to the bar for a few more reps. In sports we see athletes getting on the field days after injury and pushing through the pain. In our daily lives, we may boast about working 80 hours a week or never taking vacation days.   These scenarios are many times, what our society defines a being tough; sucking it up and putting your head down to do work or just “grinding another day”.   Of course there is time to do work but is this type of “work” truly the mark of the toughest individuals?   On this week’s episode we’re challenging traditional perceptions of mental toughness. Dr. Sean puts you in the guest seat as he takes you through a visualization exercise on mental toughness, plus he shares his own ego struggles about the time he worked out with Rich Froning for a week that you don’t want to miss!   Show Notes:   3:39 -  A visualization exercise 9:12 -  What would you do if you got this text? 13:46 - The mindset of difficult decision making 17:30 - A story of mental toughness 22:20 - Dr. Sean works out with Rich Froning 27:11 - When is it time to tap out?
