I noticed this quote on the wall behind the INSANITY team, during the workout this morning.
“GET FIT OR GET OUT!”
While this may be applied to the workout itself, I immediately started thinking that it could also be used in the business arena (as well everything else in life)!
Anyone who has any HOPE of growing and enjoying a successful business, needs to work on Personal Development. That’s the GET FIT part. (The GET OUT part is obviously if you don’t do it – and YOUR choice!)
So, how do your GET FIT? Just like going to the gym, or doing any exercise routine, you have to push yourself a little more every day to be a better version of yourself. When you do this to grow yourself personally and professionally, it requires that you stretch your MIND as well. My Life Coach Kim Somers says ” Always ask yourself, Am I moving forward positively or backward negatively in my life? If backward, take steps daily to move the better way. Little tiny life changes goes a long way.” Notice she said STEPS. You’re not required to make these gigantic leaps toward your goals, but it is necessary to take STEPS in a positive direction.
Positive steps include:
Better nutrition choices
Getting daily exercise
Reading books written by those you admire and are where you want to be
Attending workshops
Taking vacations (you DO need to relax and recharge your batteries once in a while!)
Tell the truth (it’s amazing how many little lies you tell yourself and others daily)
Make an effort to dress nicely everyday (a big one for me when I had my first daughter)
SMILE!!!
Learn something about the business you are in
Now, obviously this list could go on forever, but I’m sure you get the point. With every decision, no matter the size, you must decide if it’s going to get you where you want to be, or keep you from it. That’s how and why you GET FIT.
In regards to business, if you’re not going to do what it takes to be the BEST at what you do, you might as well GET OUT!!!
Why do anything, if you’re not going to give it all you’ve got?
**By the way, when YOU start giving your all in a positive direction, you WILL attract those who are willing to do the same. Now, how will THAT change your life?
