The Missing Ingredient To Your Success Recipe
Mindset Monday
Takeaway: Don't let the amount of time involved in improving your life discourage you. Instead, embrace it as an essential part of the recipe. Follow the recipe, and you'll achieve the outcomes you expect.
I want to share a recent quote that resonated with me:
"Your life is designed to get the results you are getting right now. For the trajectory to change, the approach must change."
The way your life looks right now—your health, your friends, your career, everything—is the result of habits and decisions made days, months, and even years ago. Those decisions and their resulting actions (or inactions) have led you to the present moment.
If you want your life to look different, you need to start making decisions and taking actions that steer you in a new direction.
The challenging part is that success doesn't happen overnight. Without time, the recipe for change tastes salty and bitter. Just like masterfully smoked meats or award-winning chili, time is the secret ingredient that leads to the best experience. Even the best chocolate chip cookies need time in the fridge to chill the dough.
Don't let the amount of time involved in improving your life discourage you. Instead, embrace it as an essential part of the recipe. Follow the recipe, and you'll achieve the outcomes you expect.
With enough time, even a small change today can lead to a significant transformation in your life.

P.S. Unsure where to start? Here are a few small changes with big payoffs:
Reduce eating out to 2x/month with friends. Save money and improve your health.
Do something to move your body every day. Even ten minutes is enough to make a difference.
Save alcohol consumption for special occasions. Don’t drink to wind down at the end of the day. You’ll feel better overall.
Grab coffee with a different friend once a month. If you can, buy the coffee.
Try to read a few different books a year. If you’re feeling trapped financially or looking for a career change, make these non-fiction books.
Go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. Sounds cliche, but it’s true.
P.P.S. Making a change is easy. Consistently sticking to those changes is hard. Working with a coach can help you stay accountable so you stick with the changes long enough to see results. Click here to book your free call with a member of our world-class coaching staff to guarantee your success.
