Monday Motivation

Good morning. Good morning, Cadre crew. Gosh, what a great day. Here we are, Monday. Monday's the day. Monday is the day we get back in the saddle. We get prepared, we get everything ready to rock. We got a week planned out. We got great things on the horizon. Maybe you had an amazing weekend. Maybe you had to work the weekend. Whatever it was. We're back to Monday. It's day to reset. For most people, it's a reset. For me, it's like, let's go all in for the week. I can't wait. But with that being said, I woke up last night in a complete panic around two, three in the morning, right?

I woke up in a complete panic. I was like, oh, my gosh, I am six days away. I'm six days away from this run, this 100 miles run that I've had on the calendar now for better part of two years, right? So I'm like, oh, boy. My heart started racing. I immediately started, I got up, I walked around for a little bit, drank a bunch of water, and I was thinking to myself, like, what happens if I fail? What happens if I start going and something happens to my leg? What happens if, you know, I don't make it?

What happens if I pass out, faint? What happens? And at the end of the day, I tried to settle my mind. I got some breathing in, and finally I was able to get back to bed. But so I woke up this morning and I thought about this and I was like, let's shift our mindset. Let's shift our mindset. Number one, let's take a look at our receipts. You know, what have we done? What have we done to prepare, right? So, you know, what I did here is I, this is true story. This morning I went all the way back to 2019, through 2020, through 2021 and 22 and 23.

And I went through all my step counts of the week, right? So I went through my step counts of the week, right? So from 2019, I'm not going to bore you with every single number of the week, but like ninety nine k, one hundred twenty k, one hundred eighty seven k. Ninety one k. One hundred five k, one hundred seventy k. One hundred and fifty six. One hundred and four. One hundred and forty eight. One hundred and thirty six. One hundred and twenty. One hundred and fifty. One hundred and seventy. One hundred and seventy nine.

One hundred and seventy six. So that's just my step count in a week. It's like, so I'm putting in 2020, 5000 steps a week, no matter what, over basically the last four years. So it's like I'm preparing for the long run. That's number one. So my preparation is. Right. Number two, from a mindset based perspective. So, number one, did I prepare? The answer is yes. Number two, from a mindset based perspective, either one of two things are going to happen. Okay? This is how I'm going to go into this.

Either I'm going to finish or I'm going to probably end up in the hospital. Okay? So again, prepare. I got my mindset. My mindset is I finish or I'm going to probably end up in the hospital. So that's kind of where. Where I'm in on the all in factor, right? And that's how I go all in on anything, whether it's my friendships, whether it's my relationships, whether it's my businesses. Right? It's the same thing with companies started, North Star Behavioral Health. Same thing that we started with Cadre here.

Right. You know, Cadre, we always just say internally and, you know, Alec and, you know, code, co founder or partner of mine, you know, we always say, you know, Cadre is going to be a household name in five years, right? And we're in year two and it's already starting to become the brand. It's starting to build traction, starting to build momentum. Why is. Because that's our mindset. We talk about it all the time. You know, we know exactly where this is going to finish. We know what we're going for.

We know what we're looking for. It's either be successful or we completely flopped. Right. There's not a whole lot in the middle. We're going to go where we want to go and we're going to change a bunch of lives. Why? Is because our purpose and our passion is absolutely contagious. Okay? So again, I want to just start, you know where my mindset went after I took a deep breath and I relaxed for a second and I got myself right. Right. So again, did I get the preparation? Do I have the right mindset?

And last but not least, am I going to have fun? Okay, I'm going to smile the first smile, and I'm going to smile the last smile. I'm going to smile to the people that are watching. I'm going to laugh. I'm going to have fun. I am going to have an absolute blast on this journey, and I'm going to smile through the pain. I'm going to smile through the struggle. I'm going to smile through all of it. So what I'm telling you is this, if you attack anything big in your life and you have the right preparation, you have the right mindset, and you have fun while you're doing it.

I'm telling you, any big goal, any big dream, any aspiration that you have in your life, whether it's starting a business, whether it's getting married, whether it's quitting a bad habit, if you prepare, you get your mindset right and you have fun and you do those three things in your life. I tell you, I'm, trust me when I tell you, you will have a great life. You'll have a great event, you have great business opportunities, luck will come your way, all the things, but it all starts up here. It literally all starts out here in your life.

So again, I got the receipts to prove it. These are my weeks over and over and over again. So that moment of doubt that I had, you'll have moments of doubt everywhere in your life, right? Maybe even, you know, feel like you're the victim sometimes. But regardless, I've looked through my receipts. I've prepared accordingly, and the chips are going to fall where they may in six days. But I'm going all in and I'm going to do everything I can to finish this race. I have a big why, I have a big purpose.

I've prepared accordingly. My mindset's right, and I'm going to love every second of it. So here's to you, and here's to all those individuals that are choosing to go all in on this life with the right mindset to have a little bit of fun and prepare while you're doing it. Take care. You guys have an amazing week.
