Its not (entirely) your fault

Why am I super successful Software executive, a super healthy gym rat and a laser focused goal-slayer....while you and your peers aren't?

Because statistically, that's the way it works.

Over 90% of people who start a diet, fall off and regain the weight. Over 80% of people who buy a self-help book don't finish it, and of those who DO finish it never act on the things they learn.

People hate change and hate hard work.
It's just their nature.

It's not your fault.

We're told every day to grind, work hard, apply yourself .... believe in yourself.
"You can do it!" you're told.

Maybe you can't.
Hey, it's not really your fault.

Exceptional people are successful BECAUSE they're exceptional. Yes, they work hard. And "yes", you can work hard too.

But you have to work hard every single day.
Every hour of every day.
You have to play hard, too.
Hell, you even have to sleep hard.

But that's not you, right?
I mean, you're not adverse to hard work. But EVERY DAY?  That's nutty, isn't it?

When the weather is awful out, you don't really want to go to the gym....right?
When you hear "no" 100 times ,,, it's time to go home and recharge, right?
And if you get less than 7 hours of sleep, you're just miserable...aren't you,

It's not entirely your fault.
You've got good qualities!  You're nice. People like you. You have a good heart. You use your directional signal when you drive on the highway.

You just aren't mega wealthy with zero-percent body fat.

And that's because life works that way.
Statistically, your odds of being exceptional for long periods of time are VERY low.

Maybe you're just "average"
That's not so bad.
"Below" average? That's not good.
But average isn't awful.

So embrace your inner average.
It feels a lot better than 4 hours of sleep and diet devoid of carbs,,,,right?

Happy New Year.- Maybe Success is NOT for You

So I'm sitting with my yellow legal pad, 2 sharpened pencils and tall glass of Dr. Pepper. Looking over 2017 and planning for 2018. What will I do this year? How will I make the year better?

I'm thinking about the icons in the "success" arena - Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins, Grant Cardone.  I'm thinking about all of the "would be's" who copy their material verbatim. Shamelessly verbatim.

There are a LOT of folks talking about Success.
Who's talking about "Average"?
Who's accepted the fact that they are fat, or ugly, or uneducated or unpleasant or uninspiring.

No one.

Well...up until Today.

Its time for me to wake up the world.
Its time for me to remind the world that "hey...you might NOT be able to be successful. You might NOT get in great shape, you might NOT make six figures and you might NOT meet the person of your dreams."

Don't hate.
I'm just being fair and honest.

There is a statistic showing how many people that set New Year's goals don't pursue them come February. Huge odds that you will quit your diet in a month. Tremendous chance that you wont marry a Perfect 10 who loves you in spite of all of your faults.

I'm not making fun of you..
I accept you.
I accept you for how average and uninspiring you are.

I'm here to make you feel good about not feeling so good.

@Defmall is how to reach me in real time.
I'm gonna keep it real for you.
