Paying for a service will not get you the results you want. 



Paying only serves as the first action as expressed as commitment. 



The deficit to the outcome comes in thinking that by just paying you get  fitness, leadership, spirituality, etc…



*See lack of ownership



The real path lives inside first the commitment, then understanding that you still have to make the personal effort in your own development. 



Being told what to do only makes fractional progress. 



Understanding what and why your on this path opens up true progress and collaboration. 



Inside collaboration ignites personal participation and the highest level of coaching. 



As practitioners (coaches) we serve only as the guide not the dogmatic law. 



Commitment > Ownership > Collaboration 



That is all. 

The Cost Of Your Standards



Standing for your own beliefs and core values doesn’t come free of cost. 



People will hate you. People will tell you to lower them. They will make you feel like you’re wrong. 



The ability to see will cause discomfort. This discomfort will give you insight to the opportunity. 



The opportunity is the deficit others lack to see. The clue that you’re on the right path is the fact that you can see it. 



What do you stand for?

Why do you stand for this?

Why can’t other see it?

Is this the right thing to do? 



That is all.

Leah shares her journey of becoming a trainer and the challenges she faced along the way. She initially had fears and doubts about being a trainer but eventually overcame them. She started working at the front desk of Equinox to kill time and get a free membership, but her passion for fitness led her to become a trainer. Leah decided to do the 75 Hard challenge to push herself and prove her capabilities. Through this challenge, she learned the importance of persistence and mental fortitude.
