DM “Black Friday” To @ Colossusfit for our black friday coaching deal
Summary of episode: In today’s episode I give you the step by step guide on how to be successful in any area of your life. Physical, mental, financial - this podcast will break down what you need to do to achieve success.
Listed points:
First: Ask yourself, what does success mean to you?
Don’t live something else's dream.
Once you know the destination, figure out, how am I going to get there?
There are no secrets to success. It is the rest of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. - Colin Powel
You can’t wish your way to success. We know WHAT to do, next you need to know how to actually implement this consistently in your life.
Rely on discipline, framework and consistent schedules, not motivated.
Lastly, expand your time frames. Break down massive goals into bite sized pieces.
“It hurts but it works.” - It’s not always what you do. Sometimes it’s what you don’t do. What do you need to get rid of?
Have tangible accountability towards those goals.
Lastly, accept there will never be a place where you’ve “made it”

➢ DM “BLACK FRIDAY” LAST CHANCE TO IG @ COLOSSUSFIT
Summary of episode:
With Thanksgiving coming up, it’s typically the beginning of most peoples fitness downhill journey. Listen to thee tips and don’t be the person that consistently struggles.
Listed points:
(02:35) 1- Set Realistic Goals
Rather than aiming for significant weight loss, focus on maintaining your current weight or setting a modest goal (like losing 1-2 pounds a month).This way, you avoid the “all or nothing” mindset that can lead to overindulgence if you slip up.(05:42) 2- Plan Ahead for Events
Before holiday gatherings, eat a small, balanced snack with protein, fiber, and healthy fat, like Greek yogurt with nuts or a small handful of veggies with hummus. This can prevent overeating once you're there.Choose one or two treats you’re really excited about and savor them instead of sampling everything.(09:14) 3- Be Strategic with Portions
Try using a smaller plate, and aim to fill half with vegetables or a salad before adding protein and sides. You’ll get a balanced, satisfying meal without going overboard.Focus on eating until you’re satisfied, not stuffed, and keep portions of high-calorie foods moderate.(09:58) 4- SEPARATION SEASON! It’s a holiday, not holi-month.
(10:43) 5- Stay Active, Even in Small Ways
Maintain your usual workout routine, even if you have to shorten sessions. Regular activity will help with weight management and keep you feeling good.If formal exercise isn’t an option, try short walks after meals, take the stairs, or do bodyweight exercises at home.(11:41) 6- Practice Saying “No” Gently
Holiday gatherings often come with pressure to eat, but it’s okay to politely say “No, thank you” if you’re not hungry or not interested. People will respect your choices.(12:59) 7- Limit Mindless Snacking
Try to eat meals without distractions (like your phone or TV) and take the time to chew and savor each bite.Enjoy your favorite treats but try the “three-bite rule” — take three mindful bites to get the flavor and experience, then step away if you’re feeling satisfied.Alternatively, split a dessert with a friend or family member to avoid overindulging.Thanks for listening! We genuinely appreciate every single one of you listening.

Listed points:
(03:33) (Major point 1 Work on your mindset)
-Start reading non-fiction and apply it in your life. Work on your mindset, it should be the foundation for productivity and discipline.
-If You don’t like reading, try audio, try podcasts
(08:04) (Major point 2 - Limit over stimulus)
-Lessen the amount of stimulus in your life. Stop getting dopamine from the wrong sources.
-Scrolling, investing in the wrong causes, creating false purpose and challenge in place of creating a real life
-Create goals, challenges, time frames, invest your time and mental energy where it counts
-Cut off vices, be real with yourself
(11:27) (Major point 3 - Excessive comfort is the enemy)
-Comfort is bad when it hurts our potential
-Comfort can be good - I am comfortable in my routine, in my workouts etc but sleeping in till noon, doing drugs and sucking media all day isn’t a way to live. Shopping to make ourselves feel better.
-Create discomfort in your life to create comfort.
(Major point 4 Don’t Be Afraid of Failure)
Just get started now, small with common sense. Start with realistic expectations. Terry crews example - treat gym like a spa, go for 30 mins not even to workout but just be there everyday
Stop overthinking, just start doing
Discipline is not just following a plan when you need a plan, but following the plan when you’ve succeeded. Make a plan and follow it, regardless of your emotions.
