If you’re a driven high performer…
You’re almost certain to meet significant frustration in life.
It just comes with the territory.
When you’ve got BIG goals… but the results aren’t coming…
It can start to make you question if you’re ever going to get there.
But guess what?
If you’re frustrated with where you’re at right now…
You’re actually in great company.
Virtually ALL the richest, most successful people in the world went through painful low points and frustrating setbacks before they got to where they are.
For example:
The Rock was frustrated when he was cut from the CFL (Canadian Football League) in 1995 and he returned home with just $7 in his pocket to his parent’s basement. He used that “$7 embarrassment” to fuel his dreams and become one of the most famous celebrities of his generation.
Oprah Winfrey was frustrated with her first TV job in Tennessee where she saw no chance of promotion... but that inspired her to pursue a brighter future in Chicago. Fast forward a couple of decades and she’s turned that frustration into her own production company and a roughly $3 billion net worth.
Elon Musk was frustrated when – in late 2008 – he had to sell his private plane to avoid going bankrupt after investing $110 million of his own money into a then failing Tesla, SpaceX and Solar City. It was only a deal from NASA on Christmas Eve that saved him. Today he’s revolutionizing space travel and the third richest man in the world.
So yes... into every life — including yours — a little frustration must fall.
But a lot of our frustration is self-induced.
Here’s why.
Most clients who come to us frustrated are...
- Not getting out of their comfort zone, and not taking action on the things they know deep down that they must do.
- Not sticking to their nutrition plan and therefore losing hours and days to low energy crashes.
- Not living with discipline... and instead, getting distracted with their phone, Netflix, alcohol, sports betting, porn — you name it.
Listen, everything is a solvable problem.
Every frustration is “figure-outable” and can be defeated.
For example, here’s what I recently recommended to a client struggling with a diet dilemma:
“Jerry, I would recommend sharing your nutrition goals with people at the office. They are going to give you a hard time because that is what people do. But if you said, ‘Don't let me eat any of this stuff, and I owe you $20 if you catch me’, then that would give you the accountability you need. It would even attract a few people into making the same commitment.”
When you do stuff like this…
Just like I did when in 2011 I committed to no swearing and told 151,000 people on my email list — then you TURN PRO and success becomes automatic.
During a coaching call earlier this week with another client, I laid the hammer down and told a client that I expected MORE from him because we both knew he was capable of so much more.
The next day he sent me this killer update:
“Craig, after our call I had family time, put kids to bed, and worked from 8:45 to 10:45. I was in bed by 11 and fell asleep by 11:30. Then I woke up at 6 and did a 30 min cold weather walk in just a t-shirt, stretched, and did my pushups and squats with the kids. I am feeling great and ready to kick some ass! Thank you for your guidance.” – Lloyd N.
Lloyd is going to stop being frustrated and will CRUSH the rest of this year.
What about YOU?
Where do you need to tighten things up so you can achieve those big goals and dreams you know you’re capable of?
I challenge you to take a good hard look and be brutally honest with yourself.
And then DO something about it.
I promise you’ll be grateful that you did.
Success Loves Speed,
Craig
