Week #5: Long-Term Success Strategies

Hi ladies!

When it comes to establishing healthy habits, is it easier to develop a habit…or to maintain that healthy habit for years, decades, and the rest of your life?

We all know that it’s the rest of our lives that it’s challenging to plan for, right?  ;)

This week, we’re focusing on the Top Success Strategies to ensure your long-term success.

I’ll be sharing my best strategies with you.  How about you?  What are you working on?

Also, please share with the group on the strategies that you’ve been able to make a part of your daily life.

Let’s support one another as we reach our goals this week!

Every Successful Person You Know Has This

I often talk about the importance of accountability when it comes to reaching your goals.

Having someone who will help you stay on track when you may lose focus or feel discouraged is essential for your long-term success.

Think about the most successful people you know…

I’ll bet they have a partner, teammate, coach, or friend that stood by their side every step of the way to their success.

Accountability is probably THE essential component that has helped them reach their highest aspirations.

Have you ever watch the Biggest Loser show?

One of the reasons the participants are successful is because they have trainers like Jillian Michaels holding them accountable (and threatening to kick their butt!)

Just as important: The contestants are part of a supportive team that expects their members to work hard at their goals in order to win.

Their stories are inspiring. However, I’ve also seen the sad stories of those who, after the competition is over, gain ALL the weight back!

Why do you think that happened?

Because they no longer had their team and trainers there for them – not to mention the hundreds of thousands of eyeballs watching them on TV!

How about you?

Do you have an accountability partner – someone who will encourage you but who’s also willing to give you tough love when needed?

If not, you need to find one NOW.

This doesn’t only apply to your fitness and weight loss goals.

Accountability is critical to your long-term success at any goal – whether it be related to your career, finances, or even a relationship.

I’m here to help you! It would be an honor for me to be your accountability partner, too.

If you’d like to meet for a no-cost one on one coaching session in person or by phone, please email me to set it up.

I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great weekend.

I’m committed to your success.

Do You Do This? #1 Fat Loss Strategy Isn’t What You Think

You’ll probably be surprised at the #1 proven method to get rid of stubborn belly fat and have a toned figure…

It’s not interval training. It’s not low glycemic eating. It’s not P90X. It’s not even my boot camps.

Do you ever pay attention to what kind of “head talk” you have? Think about it. Really listen to your thoughts today. Are they mostly negative or positive?

Do you have stinking thinking?

Look at these examples and see if you’ve ever said something like this in your head:

“I should have worked out today.” “Why can’t I get this right?” “Man, I’m an idiot.” “I can’t do this.”

“You look fat.” “You failed again.” “What’s the point?” “This is too hard.” “You’re never gonna make it.”

“Ugh, I hate my thighs” (or fill in your despised body part). “I shouldn’t have eaten that.”

How did those statements make you feel? Not so inspired, huh?

Yet, how many times do you say negative things to yourself and don’t even realize it?

#1 PROVEN way to blast fat for good and have a lean, toned body:

Replace stinking thinking with positive, affirmative, encouraging thoughts. Don’t let negative thinking linger for even one second in your head!!

Practice every day. Each time a stinker comes into your mind, ERADICATE IT.

Replace non-inspiring notions like, “I should have worked out today” with “I can do this….just 10 minutes around the block.” (You’ll likely walk or jog half an hour once you get out!)

Conquer your stinking thinking and you WILL reach whatever goal you set for yourself.

I know this from personal experience – and hundreds of my clients who have celebrated success.

Oh, and I lied. I said the “#1 fat loss strategy isn’t what you think.” It IS what you think.

Deadlines are the difference between…

…getting stuff done and just talking about it.

All of my biggest successes (whether they were academic, fitness, or business related) have come with deadlines attached to them.

My biggest failures were often due to talking about getting something done – and then either not setting a deadline or setting an unrealistic one.

Do you have a deadline for your fitness or weight loss goals?

Some may say that the deadline, if you miss it, leaves you depressed, discouraged, and disillusioned – so that you don’t want to set another goal and set yourself up for failure.

But, whoever said that you can’t extend your deadline if you miss it?

Weren’t you better off for setting it?  Didn’t you get closer to your goal – versus if you had never set a deadline at all?

The key is to go back and REVISE your goal with a more REALISTIC deadline…. not to avoid setting one at all.

Look at any successful person you admire – whether he or she is an athlete, a homemaker, a business owner, or a motivational speaker.

Do they set deadlines?  I’ll bet you they do.

Even a homemaker is “successful” when she sets deadlines on getting the house cleaned or finishing a certain home project.  You can succeed at ANY goal if you commit to getting it done by a certain deadline – or revising it if by chance you missed it.

I guarantee you that you will get a lot farther ahead – in life and in your fitness goals – if you set a deadline.

What do you think?  I want to know.  What deadline have you set (or revised)?  Please post below.

Committed to your success,
