8 Tips

“PLANT” FOR SUCCESS

Most people who fail, fall for one moment, and then never come back.

How many times you fall is NOT important. How many times you get up – THAT is where you rise above the rest.

Here are some tips to keep you from falling in the first place.

Preparation is crucial! Prepare to succeed.

At first, I didn’t even realize one of my success strategies. One day I discovered I had baggies of CLAsin my car, Myoplex-Lite packages in my purse, Betagen in my desk drawer, Precision Protein powder in my workout bag. I never gave myself the
opportunity to fail. Any time I had the thought “I forgot my supplements,” they would magically appear.

I didn’t give myself the opportunity to fail.

This strategy I call “Planting” for Success

And it’s not just about food and supplements. At one point I had 3 pairs of workout shoes, 7 t-shirts and 4 pairs of shorts in my car, just as workout insurance policies. You would not believe how many pairs of socks I bought on my way from work to the gym.

Similarly, Gino often worked out in his police uniform – uniform blues, boots and all.

Unpreparedness is NO EXCUSE for missing a meal or missing a workout.

Here are 2 rules of preparedness:
Rule 1: Always be prepared, “plant” for success
Rule 2: When Rule 1 fails, stick to the program anyway!
