Not because I wanted to necessarily. I\u2019m not a fan of cardio. I\u2019d rather lift weights \u2013 but I\u2019d already lifted 4 days last week, so it was an off day from weights.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t really want to go. And I could have ridden my bike at home. But it\u2019s easy to not do that. Once I\u2019m at the gym, I\u2019m going to do what I went there to do. (Proof is in the pictures)<\/p>\n<p>Why am I telling you all this?<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n<p>When I got to the point as I was walking on the treadmill where I wanted to stop but my time wasn\u2019t up yet, it hit me. Working out is a lot like business.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you want to stop. And you can choose to quit. Or you can <strong>keep going. Push forward. Overcome<\/strong> the challenge and the hard parts.<\/p>\n<p>I hear it from my clients all the time\u2026 they don\u2019t want to do this or that. And that\u2019s fine. Ultimately, <strong>it\u2019s your decision.<\/strong> It\u2019s your business so you can do what you want.<\/p>\n<p>The question is <strong>what\u2019s the end result you want.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And <strong>do you really want it, or do you just say you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What are you willing to do to get it? And what are you not willing to do.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to say, \u201cI\u2019m willing to do whatever it takes.\u201d It\u2019s harder to do. And there\u2019s nothing wrong with having <strong>limitations and boundaries<\/strong> around what you\u2019re willing to do and what you aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Just <strong>be honest about it<\/strong> \u2013 at least to yourself.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s sort of like me and cardio\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>I do it because it\u2019s good for me.<\/strong> It\u2019s good for my body, my heart and my endurance. I don\u2019t do cardio to lose weight (although I\u2019m working on losing a few pounds \u2013 that starts in the kitchen, with what I put in my mouth).<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t do it because I love it (I don\u2019t have to love it. I just have to do it). I do it because <strong>I made a commitment<\/strong> to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, unlike in business, I can\u2019t hire somebody else to do it for me.<\/p>\n<p>Like so many things in life and business, you <strong>just do it<\/strong> because you have to.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s like the quote from one of my favorite books\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIt\u2019s easy to do, and it\u2019s easy not to do.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The common denominator is <strong>you\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>What will you decide?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes we need some help or accountability to do the things we need to do. It\u2019s one of the reasons people hire trainers \u2013 and coaches. If you\u2019re looking for some help or accountability let me know \u2013 I\u2019d love to talk to you about helping you too.<\/p>\n<p>To Your Success \u2013<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4638 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.completemarketingsystems.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/dianesig.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"159\" height=\"106\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to the gym this past Saturday just to do cardio.
