How to stay in a growth mindset? This isn’t act

How to stay in a growth mindset?

This isn’t actually about not having any issues to overcome it’s about the mindset you maintain through those issues.

Growth is about more, is about bigger, is about better, is about stronger.

When these hurdles in life appear, it’s how you look at them. Sure the first action is what do I do next. This is the critical first step.

Do you think with a defensive mindset or do you think with an attacking mindset.

For example: maybe where you live isn’t giving you the drive you need. The circle of people who you’re around you, are they pushing for more or living a lifestyle you want to achieve.

If not, you can see how thinking with a defensive mind how you would say “Maybe it’s not for me” or “I can’t do it because”

But, being in an attacking mindset, you put value on the fact you want to achieve your goals and find new circles of people to be around, you find a new place to live or even just train from.

Not that I was a part of this but @brandonhepburn took the attacking growth mindset. Moved to a place he found progression, lived in it, found exactly what he was looking for.

1 year on from our first shoot and the growth in him and his physique is clear. The confidence, the body language and the focus is what really gave it away that following your attacking mindset when times are tough is what gets results.

Want results?
Attack the challenges by building a hub to thrive within.

Your clients need you to lead from the front. Soo

Your clients need you to lead from the front.

Soo many PT’s try to get around the fact that they need to be the face of their business.

Online coaching might mean that you may never see some of the peoples lives that you transform, but, they want to know you’re a human.

If you don’t show you’re a human then they’ll think you’re so robot.

You can create as many Canva graphics as you want but you being in front of your clients showing you working hard and doing what you need to do to look and feel your best will help get them to achieve their goals.

It’s not rocket science.

1: Be yourself.
2: Work as hard as you teach your clients to.
3: Give advice.
4: Show up every day.
5: Don’t think about anyone else other than speaking direct to your ideal client.

That means deal with their pain points.
Show your journey. Show solutions to problems. Stand out.

Transformations take time. Progress is a journey which creates a story.

@bodybyekam journey is one that not only impressed me when she recently told me about her business growth but also her own personal transformation.

From someone who was finding herself, seeing what she was capable of and learning about her body to now transforming people’s lives every day.

From this post I want to make one thing clear.

Transformations take . Progress is a long Journey which creates a Story. A Success story is what makes you Relatable and bring relatable means people will find a way to make a story with a similar outcome to you.

Over the last 4 years, Ekams no longer the person she was but is now the female who leads by example.

Want to create your own story, you need to start your journey today.

We all love a story… so here’s @tashhanksfit success story.

Back in January I had this idea, I wanted to help more people overcome any lack of confidence issues they were having.

Had no idea if it would work..
Had no idea if it would help..

But, over 7 evenings 12 amazing women sat down and listen to me unpick the issues that sat unnecessarily in their brain.

@tashhanksfit was one of them amazing women.

She needed some self belief and she needed a path forward.

As someone who loved her fitness, she wanted to become an online coach.

We got through the week and Tash had well and truly lit the fire under her arse.

Later that month, she signed into the regular content shoots.

It was time to advertise her knowledge and passion with great content. She also signed up to @adamhayley1 Online Trainer Education program which was a huge investment for her.

But, she saw the risk of not investing in herself.

Skip forward JUST 9 MONTHS LATER.

She’s booking her first group shoot so her clients can have the great feeling of achieving a goal.

She’s made a business that’s made more income than most in their first year of business.

Plus..

Yesterday in my studio she was finally able to accept her body and she herself as the person she’s always wanted to be.

The confitdent, strong, goal achieving success story.

No more seeing others progress, she’ll now inspire others to follow the same path.

Which was:
1: Face your fear.
2: Use your vulnerability to empower you.
3: Invest in yourself.
4: Focus on your clients needs.
5: Be relentless.

@tashhanksfit you said you were waiting to be posted on my feed.

Today’s the day to be that role model to others.

🙌🏻

Gentlemen: I must apologise. I have noticed every $Gentlemen: I must apologise. I have noticed every post recently has been females. Admittedly I do shoot a lot of females but you guys are just as important. Shooting styles always fractionally changes with each client depending on what they’re after. @jac_fitness_ just needed to look shredded. Well he did the hard work, I just made sure he smiled with it. Want a gym shoot? DM me “Gym” for more info.$

Your biggest loss is your greatest strength! This

Your biggest loss is your greatest strength!

This is 100% a post for the mindset.

Most of us will have had something in our lives that has hit us hard. One of those things where you think why me.

Or, maybe just your own internal mindset wasn’t where it needed to be when you needed it the most.

Those times, are the bits that make us stronger as humans.

I honestly can’t say I have had too many life altering moments that stopped me in my tracks, but, loosing a very good mate at a young age made me realise how precious this opportunity in life is.

Loosing my grandad forced me to see that I couldn’t waste any more of my time not doing my best for myself and for @jadelaramark

The day he passed away, was the day I proposed to Jade as I wasn’t going to let that day be left with any negativity.

I told him days before I was going to do it and his face lit up, it’s such a shame he never got to meet Dylan but that’s almost why I am trying to do more to give him more in the future.

When you’re down, you need to see that life’s current tough but in the next 30 seconds to 24 hours, you have a decision on what you do with your life.

What if you decided to turn that negativity or that unhappiness or that lack of being the person you feel you should be into someone who takes action.

You get annoyed in yourself and you go do something positive for someone else or yourself.

Would that take you a step closer to being happier? Yes, it would.

Use those struggles and battles to do that 1% more everyday.

To use it as your success story.

To share with others what you overcome to be here today.

To help someone else that’s struggling too.

Use your biggest loss to be your greatest strength.

Remember overcoming adversity makes you one hell of a strong person.

It makes you far stronger than any person who gets it all handed to them on a plate.

Do something today that takes you in the direction you want to be.

As tomorrow is never promised to us.

When it’s game time and your ready to set that n

When it’s game time and your ready to set that new PB.

After training super hard for the last few weeks, I have found myself finding strength hard to find. But, when I dig deep, it’s in there somewhere.

Many of you will go through the process of training hard, dieting or bulking in order to get your desired result.

When it gets hard, dig deep, find what you’re made of, push through the mental and physical barriers.

That’s when you see what you’re really made of.

@coachedbycj shows buckets of confidence from our recent gym shoot.

5 steps to get past comparison syndrome. Many of

5 steps to get past comparison syndrome.

Many of us have had a stage or going through a stage of having either comparison syndrome or even imposter syndrome.

I’m going to clear this up right away, it’s just in your head. It’s know where else.

So, why do you feel like this..

You’re on a journey, you’re working hard, but all you pretty much can do is think about how good everyone else is compared to you or the fact you believe you’re not as good as them…

True?

Ok, so if that’s the case… how do you get past it.

Here are 5 key steps I believe that can help you get past it and understand what you’re amazing at.

I’m going to use a coach in this scenario.

You see all these other coaches putting out content, getting results, looking their best.

1: You’re on your own journey. Your story is sooo important to you and your potential clients. Wanting to have what someone else has is a case of not focusing on them, appreciate them and use it to guide you towards what you want.

2: Your clients or potential clients who want to invest into you, probably have no idea about these other coaches, and if they were that sold by them they would already be with them. You have their trust, you owe it to them to be YOUR BEST.

3: You don’t think what you do is as good as others? Well, you’re probably just early in your journey. These other coaches have probably been doing it longer, or have a skill that you just haven’t mastered yet, but everything is learnable so give yourself time to get there.

4: Why are you not as successful as them yet?
What makes life amazing is we are all different, if we were all blessed with the best of everything, life would be very boring. Investing into yourself, head down for a length of time, honing in on your craft and you can be better than the best. If there was no one above you, where would you head to?

5: Get out of your comfort zone.
Many of you will be stuck behind a laptop, in the same 4 walls, you never see outside of your bubble.
Let’s say to have a successful business, you need 25 client. You live in a town/ city of 50,000 people. 25 people is less than 1% of that, let alone your content going globally. Think outside your own box.
