Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable
I woke up earlier than normal today.
It was VERY tempting to stay in bed, shut off my alarm and just wait until my kids jumped on my bed to wake me up.
But, I got out of bed instead. The mind often tells you one thing and the body another.
If I slept in, it would have eaten at me all day and I would have questioned my edge, and if I’m losing “it”.
I understand the need to Get Comfortable Being UNcomfortable.
It’s the Key to much of my success. It’s also the key to many other people’s success.
Successful people are doing what they love because at some point in time they had to deal with a lot of tough times, down times, overcoming mountains in the process and often times doing what others would NOT dare do.
I don’t follow someone else’s rules or their creed, I follow my own way, and create my own path.
This rule applies for life AND lifting. Trust me, many people thought it would be impossible for me to be as strong as I am or as successful as I am in business, especially back when I first began running my business.
I was accused of being on steroids once I began to surpass others.
** NOTE ** Prepare for the haters to come out of the wood works when you begin to achieve success.
Others laughed at me when I was talking of opening a unique gym where members could only be invited and many would be turned away.
When it comes to the training and the business and my entire life and getting things done, I forge ahead and get up every time I fall down. Gone are the days of being stopped by others or by hills, mountains and brick walls – I’ll crush em’ every single time.
I have no special skills, other than the fact that I know how to work like a Demon and I believe in myself like no one else could even imagine. I am highly motivated to WIN at everything I do. Others are a laundromat full of excuses.
It means doing the work that others will NOT do in business, the gym and life.
It’s a BIG key to my success.
It is THE Key to my success.
It can be the Key to YOUR Success….. the choice is yours.
I don’t fear the painful workouts, or getting under heavy loads, or wondering if I’ll throw up during a workout or not.
I don’t give 2 sh*ts when some internet guru talks smack about me or how I train, because I know in the REAL World those “talkers” could never hang with me during a workout.
I believe in what I do. I believe in where I’m going. I know mountains and road blocks will come but I’ll crush them. Do you believe in yourself this intensely?
This is why I believe in training the mind and the muscle together, through HARD workouts.
Because you are reading this, I am committed to YOUR success.
I don’t want you to experience my painful past….. whether it be in life, training and / or business. This is why I create in an effort to help others, but only those who have integrity, honesty and work ethic.
Those are BIG 3 traits I look for when working with people:
1) Honesty
2) Integrity
3) Work Ethic
If you wanna dominate, then you’re in the right place. But…. being here alone doesn’t mean a thing. It’s when you begin DOING and BELIEVING that things begin to add up.
Thought I would just remind you
Lead from the Front & Live the Code.

Inspiring and a reality check to all of us wanting to make it as a successful coach, PT or whatever. It won’t just land on our laps, we got to work for it no matter how much crap we have to go through and take from the haters and uneducated / uncommitted – keep it rolling and work strong, lead out from the front.
Respect

Powerful words Zack, more importantly power ACTIONS.
You have to have a TANK-LIKE mentality and run over and crush any
obstacles that get in your way. Obstacles are just natures way of filtering out
the strong from the weak and testing how bad you want success.
Survival of the fittest and fearless brutha!

Great Article Zack! I’m finding out that more and more late nights and the brutal wake ups in the morning all translate to more time to be successful. Thanks for the article-making running a business and being in school seem less “crazy” than everyone tells me it is. Keep doing what you’re doing bro
