When we start something new—whether a new financial plan, fitness regimen, or diet protocol—there’s a period that happens a few weeks in when we haven’t seen results, and start doubting ourselves.
In fact, this is the #1 reason many people give up on new plans too soon. They let their doubts consume them, and convince them to switch to another new plan, only to repeat the cycle again in a few weeks.
The solution?
Well, first you need to understand that following a new plan without seeing results sucks. But it’s a crucial part of the process.
If you have faith in yourself and the process to stick through these few tough weeks instead of giving up and switching plans, you will see results. And even if you don’t see results, you still build confidence and awareness that will help you unlock the results you desire.
In this episode, I reveal…
- The financial struggles I recently encountered which brought this issue to the forefront of my personal life
- How to stay the course when you aren’t seeing results, so you eventually achieve results you desire
- Why anxiety, doubt, and uncertainty is normal when you’re stuck “in the suck”
And more.
Listen now.
The Better Man Podcast is an exploration of our health and well-being outside of our physical fitness, exploring and redefining what it means to be better as a man; being the best version of ourselves we can be, while adopting a more comprehensive understanding of our total health and wellness. I hope it inspires you to be better!
