As I'm about to jump on a 15 hour flight to Los Angeles to have the most incredible week of growth, influence, networking and opportunity to meet 30 celebrities, I reflect on last year and how exciting this next week will be. OMG, I wish I could bring all of you with me.
It's very easy to do what is easy in our life. It can be challenging, confronting and require courage to do what is hard. One thing I know for sure is that making yourself uncomfortable is not easy or desirable. But I also know, doing what is right, even though it's hard, is what you're meant to be doing. That's how you grow. That's how you create a higher level of performance.
How many times have you STARTED a weight loss journey to have it only last a few weeks or months? Before you know it you're back to where you started or, more commonly, in a "heavier" position than when you began. Sound familiar? My role as a Weight Loss Coach and Health Strategist is to provide people with workable, tailored solutions that can be embedded into their lifestyles, so that they can STOP starting!
The human spirit and resilience is so powerful, yet we often don't test our own personal limits. Today I share with you how I push and test myself to become a higher performer. If I can do it, so can you. You never know what you're truly capable until you try!
Wow! What a day yesterday meeting the creator of one of the most recognisable brands on the planet - Virgin and Sir Richard Branson. Many people don't know that Sir Richard suffers from Dyslexia, a reading disorder, yet has risen to one of the world's most influential, passionate and richest people in the world. What I loved about listening to Sir Richard yesterday was how powerful it has ben for him to have vision, purpose and passion. But, Sir Richard is also an adventurer and loves to push th...
Sometimes opportunities only come once in a lifetime and today I had that pleasure of having a front row seat to listen to Sir Richard Branson and later meet him in person. An incredible man with a great sense of humour and amazing amount of success. Today I debrief the experience with two new friends I met at the event, Michelle and Nimah.
When you are faced with two options, do you make your selection based on price or value? You will always find someone who will compete on price and give you a cheaper deal, but does that really give you the VALUE you're truly wanting? Yesterday I was contacted by someone that had no interest in the value they would be receiving and was only interested in the cheapest possible price. How do you make your decisions?
Every day we can get thrown a "curve ball" which causes us to have to react and respond. How we respond ultimately determines the outcome we receive. When it comes to weight loss, health and body transformation, their are constant distractions that can easily nudge us off our path to success, but how we respond is what defines who we really are.
In talking to my eldest daughter about doing something she really doesn't want to do, but as a parent, knowing it will be in her long-term interest, it got me thinking about the incredible life lessons that exist in a school excursion. In your journey to lose weight, transform your body and optimise your health, there are always questions you ask yourself. Why can't I do this? Why do I keep failing? I've never done it before, so why is this time any different? Why is this so hard for me? BUT... ...
Right now I am super excited about Mega Success, the greatest event I've attended in the world, which is just 9 days away from my arrival in LA. BUT, there are many reasons why I shouldn't go, why it may make me feel uncomfortable and it would be far easier to stay at home or have a relaxing break when I'm in LA instead. Listen today to find out the reasons why I decided I needed to step up.
What do the values of loyalty and integrity mean to you? How is this relevant to your weight loss and body transformation? Our mindests are complex. In Day 510 I discussed what was required to "Get your head right". If we don't get it right, then we have these fears and immobilising thoughts interrupting what it is we want for our health and wellness. Today I discuss how focusing on loyalty and integrity can free you and mobilise you towards greatness. Sometimes it's the things that you think ar...
We spend so much time and money accumulating material possesions and consuming resources yet we often fail to consider the importance of investing in ourselves. We, our bodies, our minds, are the greatest assets we have. We can spend hours and hours working on the outside, but how much work are you putting in on the inside - growing your mind. Scientist have shown that we only use 10% of our brain - that's 90% unused capacity! What a waste. Today we talk about the importance of investing in grow...
Have you ever been stuck in a rut about your weight loss, health or body transformation? Stuck in a place where you feel like you're just not making any progress. Perhaps it feels like two steps forwards and three back? We all have fears and limiting beliefs that can immobilise us from time to time. The question is, how long have you been stuck and do you know how to get yourself "unstuck". Today I give you strategies to break through your fears and stride confidently into the unknown....
If you're wanting to optimise your health, lose weight and achieve a body transformation that meets your goals, chances are you want what most people don't have. How do I know that? Because 67% of Aussies are either overweight or obese. If you want a better outcome than this for your health, then you have to do it differently to the way that the majority of people are. Sometimes that may look overwhelming to you, because you've never been able to achieve the result you want before, but when you ...
People often ask me how I've been able to maintain my lifestyle and training regime for so long. The answer is easy. I find what I love to do and keep tweaking and perfecting it. But the reality is, I haven't always "loved" what I've been doing for my own health and fitness. Today I discuss what my biggest challenges have been in the past and how I overcame them to turn "hates" into daily habits that I can't wait to start.
Sometimes it's great to mix up the exercise we do because going to the gym to do a workout or participating in a class may not always "do it" for you. Today I'm doing a different some things with my kids and having a whole bunch of fun in the process....but it's not what you would call a traditional workout. I'm teaching them so many life-lessons in the process and we are connecting on a level that is away from the day to day hustle. Gardening has been a great love of mine since I was a child an...
Have you ever justified to yourself why you are getting the outcome you're getting because of your pride or ego? I have. Today I discuss how I've used disempowering reasons of the past to justify why my outcomes were where they were, even though I wanted something much greater. I also talk specifically about the strategies I've used to focus on results and empowering reasons to drive those outcomes. Powerful!
We are about to commence a long-weekend here in Melbourne because of the Melbourne Cup horse race next Tuesday. Many take the opportunity to take a couple of days annual leave to make it a great weekend. As your Coach, my job is to help you achieve a higher level of performance. No matter where you are right now, moving you to that "next" level up. Only you know how you spend your holidays. My challenge to you is to use your holidays to reflect on successes, challenges and focus on how you can i...
Success leaves clues. The fastest way to success is to find a Coach who has gotten, or is getting, the results that you want. You learn their blueprint to success, copy it and take massive action to replicate the results. Today I discuss the challenges I'm currently facing in the growth of my business in replicating success and how you can emulate what I'm experience to achieve the weight loss and body transformation results you crave.
Take a look at the 5 people in your life that you spend most of your time with. Are these people inspiring you? Driving you? Displaying the behaviours you want to emulate? Are they doing what you want to do? Are they getting the results that you want to have? Are they living the life you want to live? Are the type of person that you want to be? When you look at the 5 people you spend most time with, history shows us that you will most likely "turn out" like them - they can involve you either rai...
I hear excuses every day as to why people "can't" exercise right now. Too hot, too cold, too dark, too wet, too dry, too tired, too busy, too early, too late, can't afford it, not sure the best time to train, too expensive, too crowded, not enough people, too lazy, not motivated, not inspired, feeling sick, partner is sick, kids are sick, someone you know is sick!!! I've heard it all. Are you using any of these? Today I share with you EXACTLY the right time of the day and year to exercise....
Interesting question. I'm not talking about the hard rubbish trash. I'm talking about the rubbish you keep carrying around with you - head trash. Our value and belief systems start being developed from early childhood and many of those stay with us forever. Often these develop into disempowering limiting beliefs that immobilise us towards what we desire and what we deserve in relation to our weight loss and body transformation journey. Let's make your life lighter. It's time to take out the tras...
The life of a bear is so incredibly harsh. They spend many months of the year preparing for Winter. Their objective during Winter is to just survive. They then spend many months recovering from Winter before doing it all over again. Their mission - do it or die. Just how resilient are YOU really?
This is such a powerful question that most people would answer "YES" to automatically. BUT.... are you really? Today I reflect on my experience about what a coachable versus as uncoachable person looks like when it comes to weight loss, health optimisation or body transformation. Which category will you fall into?
We all have them - bad days. Life throws challenges at us is ways we often don't expect and we're not always sure how to respond. The key is to accept that they will come and the art is to know how to get through them as fast as possible. Learn from the challenges. Find the good in the bad. Move on. Today I share how I snap myself out of a bad day.
We have one shot at life. One body. Once chance to live the life that we desire, on our own terms. There are no second chances. We're not living in a movie. We can't "take two"! Today is the day you can decide to step up and live life differently. No longer wish it. Create it. The choice is yours.
Don’t get caught up in how hard you perceive your weight loss, or body transformation, journey is going to be. Upon reflection, it’s never as hard as you first thought. What is incredible news for you is this; once you get to where you want to be, maintaining it is super simple. Take a listen…
Do you remember the very first workout you ever did? I do and I share that experience with you today from February 1988 to 6,488 workouts later to what has shaped my body and health, but transformed me into the person, and Weight Loss Coach, that I am today. If you’ve never done a strength workout before, your life is about to change….
We all have the same 24 hours, yet some people achieve amazing body transformation and weight loss results in the same 24 hours where others flounder and even go backwards. Why is that? A key element is accountability. We don’t make ourselves accountable as much as we should. Today I outline the key principles to keep yourself accountable and move you from where you are to where you want to be.
One of the biggest shifts I've made in the personal management of my time and the productive outcomes I achieve from day to day, week to week, month to month and year to year are based around the principles I will teach you today. They're golden! Take a look inside...
