KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Successful people are successful because they are dedicated to repetition and practice. They put in the necessary work and effort to achieve their goals.
• Passion is important, but it is not enough. Successful individuals also need to be bold and willing to push themselves beyond their comfort zones.
• Intrinsic motivation, driven by personal satisfaction and fulfilment, is more effective than extrinsic motivation, which relies on external rewards or recognition.
• Consistency is key. Success is not achieved by only taking action when motivated or excited. It requires commitment and discipline to continue working towards goals even when motivation is low.
• Reflecting on progress and learning from experiences is crucial for success. By measuring and tracking progress, individuals can assess if they are on the right path and make adjustments as needed.

BEST MOMENTS
"Success can mean so much, like it can be so different for so many people and understanding what you deem success is the key to start this to be honest because you can't go off what someone else finds successful."
"The change happens when the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of change."
"The people within my membership that have the best results are the people that are enjoying it. They're the ones that do well, they're the successful ones."
"If you're not patient and you're working towards a fat loss goal, you give it two weeks and then you give up, you might not start again for another two, three months and then you'll find a different diet. And then actually what's taken, what should have taken three months to be where you wanted to be, it's taken two weeks of pain plus three months of nothing."
"Becoming is better than being. Learning to be the best is better than just being the best."
