In this episode, we share tips on how you can start to build a "whatever it takes" mentality. At the end of the day, developing a “whatever it takes" mindset depends not on what we want in life but on how much we want them.Even if the road to success is difficult, for a person who really knows what they want in life and are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve those dreams, quitting is not an option. We may never know, but what if we are just a few steps away from our dreams? It'll be a big regret if we stop now. So don't hold back, chase that dream and do whatever it takes to achieve the true desire of your heart.Find our show anywhere you get your podcasts.

In this episode, we talk about getting your body where you want it to be. Sometimes the things holding us back are very obvious, but also difficult to admit to ourselves. If you want results you need to be willing to pay the price. It takes some effort, some sacrifice, some dedication to your goals over an extended period of time.  Everyone wants yesterdays results for the work they didn't put in today. Ditch the narrative that looking a certain way will make you happier.Ask yourself this: Why do you want to look different?Most likely, it's because you want other people to like you, and you believe looking a certain way will make you more loved and accepted. We are sold this idea that looking a certain way will bring us approval, affection, love, respect, value, but the whole thing is a myth.
