🦾 Your Fitness Goals Are Destroying Your Progress

Hey Insider,

Write down your biggest fitness goal.

The one you're afraid to say out loud. The one that drives all your other goals.

Now tear it up.

Because that goal - the one you think will finally change everything - is silently sabotaging every step you take.

The Goal Trap

Let’s be honest with each other, no one else will be with you, we know sales is a stressful job.

It seems like you are on call for everyone, your prospects, your boss, your CEO, your delivery team, the janitor…….

Unfortunately, as goal driven as you are, you are sabotaging your own efforts and you have no idea you are even doing it.

Why is this so important. Your fitness level is the force-multiplier in your sales success.

You think better, you have more energy, you win more.

So, let me show you what self-sabotage looks like in real time:

The Weight Loss Loop:

• Set ambitious target: "30 pounds by summer"

• Miss first week's goal: "Already behind"

• Have one bad day: "Might as well restart Monday"

• Repeat until quit

The Transformation Timeline: 

Week 1: "Not seeing changes yet"

Week 2: "Scale barely moved" Week 3: "This isn't working" Result: Another goal becomes another reason to quit

The Real Cost of Goal Obsession

Your traditional fitness goals are costing you:

• Workouts skipped because "not on track anyway": 52/year

• Progress ignored because "not hitting targets": 90% of actual gains

• Confidence lost to "falling behind schedule": Immeasurable

• Momentum killed by "starting over": 3-4 months/year

Pattern Recognition: The Goal-Sabotage Cycle

Watch for these mental traps:

• "I need to lose X pounds by Y date"

• "If I can't do it perfectly, why bother?"

• "I'm already behind, might as well give up"

• "Starting fresh next month"

Each thought turns your goals into barriers.

Freedom Reframes

How you talk to yourself matters and influences your success. Let’s reframe the way you set goals so they are sustainbale.
