Resolutioners.

It's that time of the year again – post-holidays, gym packed to the brim with resolutioners. Now, don't get me wrong; I've been there. I used to be that person, fueled by the guilt of holiday indulgence, signing up for a new gym membership or swearing off carbs for the umpteenth time. But let me tell you, my perspective has shifted, and now, I'm not exactly thrilled about the gym in January.

Don't get me twisted; I'm all for people getting healthy and making positive changes. But here's the deal – motivation is an unpredictable friend. It shows up after the holidays like an unexpected guest and leaves just as quickly. And when it's gone, discipline is what separates the contenders from the pretenders.

The Gym Scene Post-Holidays

Picture this: you walk into the gym, and you have to navigate through a maze of new faces. Treadmills are in a race, weights are a hot commodity, and the fitness classes? Well, they're standing room only. The congestion is real, and I get it; everyone's eager to kickstart those resolutions.

Motivation vs. Discipline

Here's the cold, hard truth – motivation is BS. It's bright, it's exciting, but it's not gonna last. And that's when discipline must take over. Most people fall off the wagon because they mistake motivation for a long-term commitment.

The Resolution Game Plan

Now, here's my advice for resolutions – start small and build. Rome wasn't built in a day, and your dream physique or career goals won't be either. Instead of diving into the deep end and burning out, dip your toes in gradually. It's about making sustainable changes that you can actually stick to.

Physical Resolutions: Nutrition and Workouts

For me, it's about staying disciplined in my nutrition and workouts. No crash diets, no extreme regimens (well, maybe.) – just a commitment to a balanced, sustainable routine. Everyone is different! Just find what works best for you.

Career Resolutions: Growing and Learning

Resolutions aren't just about the gym; they extend to our careers too. My focus? Growing my business and educating myself on wealth, investing, and real estate. It's not a sprint; it's a marathon. Setting achievable goals and continuously expanding my knowledge – that's the plan.

Consistency Wins the Day

Now, here's the secret sauce – consistency. Show up day in and day out. As "Skip" always used to say, get 1% better today. It's not about the drastic changes; it's about the small, consistent efforts that compound over time.

The Bottom Line

Whether you're a seasoned gym-goer or a resolutioner hitting the weights for the first time, remember that change is a journey, not a sprint. Embrace the chaos, but let discipline be your guiding light when motivation decides to take a back seat. And who knows, maybe next January, you'll be the one offering a nod of understanding to the newcomers while staying true to your disciplined path.

Stay disciplined, stay focused, and cheers to a year of sustainable growth!
