I was in Scotland this weekend for a course
Learnt a load of cool stuff from Martin Rooney
The guy is a legend
and I was offered some Uber-Scottish food
Haggis for breakfast
(I declined)
But I was told a cool story that I had not heard before
About one of the most famous Scots, Robert the Bruce
I only know him as the dude at the end of the
Braveheart movie
But he is a big deal in Scotland apparently
Anyhoo
The story goes that during the wars against
the English
He ended up in hiding in a cave
And he saw this spider
Who kept trying to spin a web in the cave
But kept failing
The spider kept trying and trying to spin
this web
But eventually managed to after days of
trying
And old Robby coined the phrase
“If you don’t succeed, try and try again”
and this made me think of a load of the
people who are failing at losing weight
they try a new diet for like 2 weeks
don’t see the progress they wanted to
then jump onto another diet
that doesn’t work
or even worse just give up
make excuses
and tell themselves
I cant lose weight, I must be different, I
give up
sure you should see some changes in the short
term when you start a new diet
but I would ask you to consider this…
would you rather have quick results in the
short term that don’t last and leave you in a
worse position that before you started?
or
would you rather see slower, but more
sustainable and long term results?
I know you are all saying the latter
But you would be surprised how many people
don’t see it that way
They move from quick fix to quick fix without
ever achieving any decent progress
The key to achieving any level of success is
consistency
Doing the right things for most (but not all)
of the time
Lets take losing weight as an example
If you follow a diet for 3 days a week and
eat what you want for the other 4 then
chances are that you wont make any decent
progress
But if you are consistent for 6-7 days a
week, then you will get there, I guarantee it
This is the same for your business, your
education and your relationships
If you are not consistent
And who ends up feeling the pain?
You do…
You feel
Frustrated –> at starting another diet that
wont work
Confused –> at why your diet hasn’t worked
Angry –> that you are not making progress
Guilty –> that you have let yourself down
How do I know?
Because I have been there many times myself….
I understand your fears and frustrations
because for many years I felt them too
Now I can help people in your position
Because I know how it feels to be in that
place
I can help you too
All it takes is a phone call
Book an exploration call with me this week
it is really that simple
Cant wait to talk to you
