Monday Motivation

Good morning, Cadre family. Another amazing day. I always walk into a Monday feeling incredible most days. Why is I get everything prepared, ready to rock for my Monday? I always take time out of my Sunday, so I'm feeling really prepared. I have always talked about my blue book. I have my map of the week ready to go. I have all my tasks, duties, and responsibilities, and then basically, I can live my life almost as a checkbox. Right? Do I have everything wrapped up for the week? And then I can always compare against my Friday results, comparatively speaking, against my Monday tasks, duties, and responsibilities, and see how I do.

So it's going to be another great week, and it'll be a great week for all of this. But have you ever thought about how many things that are out there that people start that they don't finish? Right. Good morning, junk food junkie. So let's just. Let's just use Weight watchers, right? My wife is, you know, currently utilizing Weight watchers right now. And, you know, the. I think the current average individuals that make month two, you know, on Weight watchers is less than 40%. Right? So 60% of individuals drop off within 30 days.

Okay. Think of the amount of individuals that start companies that don't make it to year two that don't make it to day 366. We know what the data and stats tell us. You know that 90% of all companies drop off and individuals drop off by day 366. Right. Let's go to our New Year's resolutions. New Year's resolutions, January 1 through January 31, heading into February. How many individuals actually make February with your New Year's resolution still intact? So what I want to say is two things. Right?

Two things. Two major things that you should take away from this. Number one, we live in a world today where consistency, discipline, you can win fast. You can win really, really fast, whether it's in the market, whether it's being competitive, whether it's running a business, starting a podcast, doing anything, just so long as you continue to do it, and you continue to do it, and you keep figuring it out. Right? So if you're starting. Starting a business today, just know if you make it to day 366, you've beat 90% of your competition.

Okay? That's just an example. If you've started a weight loss plan with weight watchers, just know that when you make it into February, you've beat 60% of the individuals right out the gates. And it's not about competition, but it's just showing you that, like, sticking to it is just half the battle in this life, right. And you can do it. There's no doubt about it. But number two, what I found is just, what I found is, yes, there's intrinsic self discipline. There's intrinsically going after goals, admirations, dreams, and all those other things and not stopping and never quitting.

But I think what's also equally as important is the team around you and the people that you work with, right. So I can't stress this enough. Surround yourself with individuals that they do two things. Number one, keep you going. And number two, they don't validate how you're feeling, but rather push you in the other direction. Right. Like, let's say, for instance, I started a company, and it's hard. And it's all those things. I could come up to my wife, and I could say, honey, this is too hard. I'm struggling.

I don't know if I can make it anymore. I can do this. There's one individual, right, that would say something like, I understand. I understand how you're feeling, and, you know, you may have to stop, and you may have to cool. Or there's the second one, which is my wife, that says, what did you sign up for? You know exactly what you're signing up for. This is gonna be hard. This is gonna be difficult. This is gonna be tough, right? Losing weight is hard. Starting a company is hard. Making transitions of behaviors and changes in your life is hard.

What did we expect? Right? So what I wanted you to say today to all y'all, is this. When you sign, new year's resolutions are dropped roughly 70. 70 by the end of January. That percentage comes from the gyms. Wow. Think about that. Think about the amount of individuals that drop off New Year's resolutions just by end of January. That's insanity. So if you're one of those 25% to 30%, you're already in the upper echelon of individuals that make it to February. So what I wanted to tell everybody today is if you simply say to yourself, I'm just not going to quit.

I'm just not going to quit. I may have a bad day. The business might be struggling. I may have fallen off my weight watchers. I may have fallen off of my trajectory of my plan. I may have. I may have. I may have ABC, fill in the blank with whatever you want. But if you say to yourself, I'm gonna come back tomorrow, and I'm not gonna quit, think about this. You're an anomaly. You're actually an anomaly in percentages and the bell curve and all the things. So I ask you politely and I push you to always tell yourself, use this as your mantra.

I won't quit. And if you don't quit, there's a lot of beautiful things on the other side of not quitting. Okay? Just keep going after it. Never quit. Even if you have a bad day, even if you have a bad week, even if you have a bad month, you can still keep going. All right? Have an incredible week. I know I will. I know you will. Have a great week. Smile. Share your light. We have a remarkable list of lives going on this week. I can't wait to see them. All the lives are going to be incredible this week.

I'm so excited to see them. I hope you are, too. We have our support group every Wednesday. Please join in. It's been awesome. We have our AA meeting for those individuals struggling with any substances. Please come join us on Sunday night. That's remarkable. We're building some really good steam there. It's just amazing what we have going on with Cadre. Have a wonderful week. Take care of you all. And let's see if we can do some wonderful things as a family and a community. Bye.
