How to ELEVATE your game beyond your EXCUSES.

Why do all the greatest motivators and successful people tell you that your success lies in the days when you don't feel like it?

In the pursuit of success, we often have days when the world seems to conspire against us.
You know those days when you're tired, muscles are sore, had a rubbish night's sleep, when kids drive you mad, maybe had one too many the night before, or you overindulged and now feel sluggish and your brain is filled with fog, when your team cocks up and the pressure is piling. .

Yet, it's precisely during these challenging times that our commitment to our goals is truly put to the test.

Why do these moments matter the most?

The answer lies in understanding the significance of integrity with our goals and vision.

Every time we give in to our reasons aka excuses, and allow yourselves to cut some slack, we're flexing the muscle of surrender.
It's the muscle of playing it safe, playing as the old version of you. It's the quickest path to falling short on your ambitious goals. 

The choice to show up, to resist hitting snooze, to get your steps in, eat healthy, make calls, network, complete proposals, make investments, handle the "annoying admin" work, and have uncomfortable conversations — those are the moments when you strengthen the muscle of commitment.

Integrity in this context isn't just about honesty or moral principles; it's about alignment.
It's about being congruent with the person we aspire to be and the goals we aim to achieve. When we commit to showing up, regardless of the circumstances, we reinforce this alignment. We strengthen the bond between our present actions and our future aspirations.


What makes achieving this level of integrity difficult?


Our past experiences and unconscious beliefs can create barriers that hinder our ability to act in alignment with our goals. These barriers manifest as excuses, rationalisations, and self-limiting beliefs that hold us back from taking decisive action, aligned with our goals. Remember those goals you were so motivated to reach? Losing weight, getting fitter, increasing revenue, growing your business...


But how can we see these patterns if we’ve been playing them for the majority of our lives?
If they are a part of who we are, then seeing the gaps and blockages might be impossible, unless you have a unique ability to see what’s in the boot of your car while driving it.

Recognising these barriers is only the first step.

To overcome them, we need support. This is where the guidance of a skilled coach becomes invaluable.

Ever had the experience of thinking your form was spot-on while deadlifting or squatting, only to end up with unexpected back pain days later, sending you straight to the chiropractor? Been there, done that. If you've ever worked with a personal trainer, you know the feeling of realising what you thought was right was actually causing more harm than good.

As a High Performance Coach myself, I personally am a huge fan of working with a mentor who can shine a light on blind spots, challenge those limiting beliefs, and provide the tools and strategies to help break free from old patterns and embrace new ways of thinking and acting.

UPGRADE YOUR INTEGRITY

If we want to change the results in our personal life, health, business or relationships, we cannot settle for mediocrity or make excuses. Instead, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of excellence and accountability. We have to BECOME the person who embodies our vision of success.

But most importantly, as we show up when the going get tough, we learn the power of consistency. And as we know, consistency is the cornerstone of achievement. It's the daily commitment to showing up, putting in the work, and refusing to be swayed by temporary setbacks or obstacles or giving in to quick pleasures. It's through consistency that we turn our dreams into reality, one small step at a time.

This is why, as a High Performance Coach & Trainer, I focus on helping you build an unshakeable integrity with yourself, so you can align your daily actions with your goals and that grand vision. I help you confront the barriers, raise your standards, commit to consistency no matter the challenges, and I hold you accountable to becoming the most confident and empowered version of self.

Ultimately, it's through this commitment to strengthening personal integrity that we transform our aspirations into achievements.
