Keeping Your Gloves Up!

Another wonderful week of learning, growing, testing my limits and those of others. 

As always, I enjoy sharing my findings with you, in the hopes it will move you to take one step further (or several), to reach your personal goals.

A client asked me recently, "who or what is your ideal client?"

My answer "someone who wants to bring about change"...

She seemed surprised, as the answer was not someone who is "easy" to train (whatever that means), or someone who moves well, adheres to a dietary plan, looks amazing in photos ... nope, just someone who wants to change, something.

 When we want to change something badly enough, regardless of the reason, we will. We will fight for it, and we will fight hard. We will find the strength to keep our gloves up.  And this makes my my job very easy. I like what I do, but it doesn't mean I want to work harder than I have to.

Doesn't matter if you move well, doesn't matter if you understand macro nutrients, and it doesn't matter if you are looking to go from a size 16 to a size 6, all you have to do is 1. Want to change 2. believe you can 3. and then trust me enough to do what I tell you to do. It's really that simple.

My career highs don't come from having clients forever, they come from clients who get what they came for. I don't want you to pay me for the rest of your life, I want you to reach your goals. However, it is up to YOU to want to make those changes and be willing to go passed your " limits" to get it. 

I, personally, don't believe in limits, other than the ones make ourselves. We dam our own free water thinking we can't go any further. This is what I call fear based thinking, because ... GOSH... what will happen when we DO reach our goals  (wink wink)? We might have to set new and bigger ones. 

There are plenty of ways you can begin to help yourself on the road to your goals, however, I am always here to help. Check out my 45 min free consultation on the front page of this awesome website. I am happy to help start lining up your goals and drawing a path to achieving each one of them ( I mean, I don't have a Behavioral Change Specialist plaque for nothing...).

In the meantime, here are a few things you can do to help get you started:

1.Recognize your strengths and write them down.

-If Train Your Inner Warrior is about any one thing, it is about finding our client's affirmative perspective of themselves and their lives. Everything I do is meant to help you take care of yourself... better..

2. Recognize the ways in which you limit yourself and write them down (see the pattern... I write everything, EVERYTHING down).

- Notice I said nothing about weaknesses? I don't believe in them. I believe we make excuses for why something is not possible in our lives, and we keep making them until we believe that as truth, as can't. Truthfully, this is only you limiting your perspective. Again, Train Your Inner Warrior is meant to help you knock those limits out, get rid of your #excuses and start living as you were meant to.

3. Be 100% honest about what you want and WHY you want it. I mean 100% because if you aren't you will come to me half way. I've tried halfway, we get half results. I don't like that, I don't accept it and neither should you. I, for one, don't want just half of any kind of relationship. 

4. Allow me to help you. That can mean a million different things for a million different people. What are the things you have convinced yourself you need for protection? I bet you don't! I can help you find ways of reaching passed these things.

Ok, recap Know thyself,  be honest, and trust ... if you do, you ARE the "ideal client", you are the person who wants me to help you effect change, and heck, that's exactly what I want too! SCORE!

As always, peace and love!
