Make Every Second Count

When you’re chasing greatness there’s no time to waste.

In a single day, there are:

24 hours

1440 minutes

86400 seconds

How are you investing your time? Are you making every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day count? Each day is an opportunity for you to take one step further to get ahead of the competition. If you want to achieve your goals, you have to make your time count.

Every second counts!

When you wake up and hit your alarm clock, it’s go time. While the competition is still asleep, you’ve made the difficult choice to attack the day. It’s easy to hit “snooze” and put things off for another day. It takes discipline and consistency to wake up each day and challenge yourself to be better than yesterday.

Every minute counts!

When in the weight room, you must be efficient with your time. I like to use the “NASCAR pitstop” analogy. Meaning, there are a ton of things happening at once but there is no wasted time. Everyone has a job to do, and no job is beneath the other. There is constant communication to make sure the task is completed promptly. This same concept also applies to the weight room. A lifting group has about a minute to complete a set, so it’s important for everyone to understand their role. Each group will have a lifter, spotter, and coach, who must all work together to ensure that everyone completes each set on time.

Every hour counts!

Dedicate an hour a day for self-improvement.

Sleep: Go to bed an hour earlier than your normal bedtime

Meal planning: dedicating an hour to pack meals to properly fuel your body

Goal setting: Set aside an hour to self-reflect

These examples may seem minor but are vital to your success.

365…Every day!

You have 365 calendar days to be the best version of yourself. Some days will be good and some days will be challenging, but you must bring it every single day. There are no shortcuts or days off, so attack each day with a winning mindset and you will succeed beyond your wildest dreams.
