Key Takeaways

Challenges and events made me stronger mentally every time and growth comes from challenging yourself
You keep the end in mind and then break the journey down into smaller goals
Most things are the most difficult at the beginning. You need to focus on what you can do today that will help you tomorrow
Recovery is easy to neglect because it’s easier to keep pushing
I’m very productive in the time I allocate for business and everything is systemised, the entire business can run effectively without me
Get clear on the things you should be saying yes to and better at saying no
Looking good, staying healthy and weight loss don’t necessarily go hand in hand
Fat loss is as simple as understanding that if you are in a calorific deficit, consuming fewer calories than you need, you are going to tap into stored fat and burn it as fuel.
When you resistance train you boost your metabolic rate and burn more calories
Resistance training is one of the most under-utilised ways to lose body fat
Calories are really important to understand but there are a number of other factors that impact on weight loss
If you are working to a calorie deficit and not losing weight look to see what maybe the underlying issue
You build confidence by consistently keeping promises to yourself but often the mistake made is to make the promise too big
It’s the small consistent things we do over time that build confidence
Learn to look at failure as feedback and make the changes needed to succeed
There is a time for tough love and a time to be compassionate with yourself

Best Moments

‘There is a magic to be about early in the morning’

‘Get better at saying no to things and your life will become considerably easier from that point on’

‘I was lean and muscular but I definitely wasn’t healthy’
