Here’s an important question for you:

How long can you handle discomfort?

Or better yet…

How long can you handle discomfort without giving up?

The reason I ask is because, aware of it or not, your answer holds the secret to your own ability to succeed.

Because here’s the thing…

Success doesn’t come without discomfort.

Success doesn’t come without sacrifice.

Success doesn’t come without pushing yourself beyond your own imagination and capabilities.

To get where you want to be, you’ll have to pay the piper first.

That means…

A few more reps than yesterday.

A few more steps than yesterday.

Better food, better focus, better effort than yesterday.

It means showing up to do the work even when you don’t want to — and then sticking around to guarantee you see that work through.

Almost everyone knows that meaningful growth happens just outside their comfort zone. Yet few ever spend the time actually getting acquainted with it.

So let me ask you…

How long do you spend outside your comfort zone?

How often do you push yourself further than you’ve been before?

Every day? Every week? Every month? Never?

How long can you handle discomfort?

If it’s not at least every week, then you’ve got some work to do, my friend.

Because the life you want is directly on the other side of all that stuff you never want to do.

Morning person? Night owl?

Either way, there’s an untapped fortune lying hidden in your schedule. If you’re finally ready to discover it, click right here and I’ll show you how.
