  • V.

  • The place to be to create a business and life you love And this my friend eight Q and A Tuesday.

  • It's actually you in a Tuesday where I asked the question and the answer comes from you.

  • You in the answer comes from So my question which I will ask you in just a moment, comes from an idea that I strive to live my life by.

  • And that idea is this.

  • You never get stronger if you Onley do easy things now to clarify.

  • I'm not saying that you should make everything harder on yourself.

  • I am all about simplicity and efficiency where it makes sense.

  • This is also not about pushing yourself so hard that you get injured or sick.

  • But what I am talking about is the immense value that comes from doing really, really hard things from putting yourself in situations where you know you're going to struggle or from doing things that are so far beyond your current skill set that it humbles your ass.

  • Let me tell you about a class I took a few months ago, so I was working to build up my strength and my stamina because going on book tour can be grueling, and I wanted to be ready for it.

  • Now, I talk a lot about fitness and movement, and I am someone who moves.

  • Ah, lot, however, has been a really long time since I've been a Nike dance athlete and can shoot like, four fitness videos and one day, even with a broken toe.

  • So point being my strength was nowhere near what it used to be, so I figured I'd start taking more challenging classes at my gym.

  • Now, most of these glasses I had never taken before, so I had no idea what I was getting into.

  • So one day I signed up for this class and was called Met Khan three should have known better, because that is a scary ass name.

  • But it was only 45 minutes, and I said to myself, Hey, I can do anything for 45 minutes.

  • Famous last words.

  • Not even seven minutes into that class, I wanted to die.

  • I'm not kidding.

  • I had no idea how is gonna survive 38 more minutes of this torture chamber.

  • We're talking nonstop squats and lunges in plyometrics, all with weights and all on a damn step.

  • You know, everybody hates Barbies.

  • Well, this guy had us doing double Burpees.

  • Then he had us doing these friggin air jacks and one guy in the front of the class.

  • He was, like, the happiest, most fittest grass hopper you ever met.

  • He was smiling.

  • He was sweating.

  • He was leaping.

  • Meanwhile, I can't be on my legs and I need to sit down.

  • I think you get the idea.

  • I mean, this was hell.

  • It was that kind of physical humbling held that you wouldn't wish on your worst enemies.

  • Yeah, but somehow I made it through the full 45 minutes.

  • And yes, I was on the struggle bus the entire time.

  • But of course, after I felt I didn't feel amazing at all, I had a massive headache.

  • I was red as a lobster and I seriously wanted to quit at life.

  • But after I took a shower and replenish some electrolytes and actually laid down for a few minutes, I actually did feel pretty great.

  • The bottom line is this easier, My friends, is not always better now.

  • Obviously, this story was all about working out, but I found the same thing.

  • To be true in my business and in my personal life, doing hard things makes me stronger.

  • Whether it's physical, emotional or mental, strength is where it's at.

  • And I gotta say, no matter what hard thing you're doing, whether or not you actually reach your goal is less important than who you become in the process.

  • So here is the cue that I want you to a today and it's a two parter.

  • Think about your past right now.
