Do You Over Grip The Ax?

by Walt | Mar 24, 2022 | Success | 1 Comment

Do you over-grip?

I know I do.

I noticed it last week when I was ice climbing.

It really wore me out.

Then I realized that over-gripping causes a lot of wear and tear almost every day.

Not just in ice climbing! But everywhere.

It’s probably due to what happened in my family growing up.

I think there may be a better way.

What might be getting in the way for you in creating the work and the life you really want? Would a strategy call help? Go HERE and we’ll set one up!

You Don’t Really Want It

by Walt | Mar 17, 2022 | Success | 0 Comments

“I’m not really motivated.”

“I’m not feeling the mojo.”

“I just can’t seem to get started.”

“I know what I should be doing, but I’m just not doing it.”

Coaching clients will say phrases like these from time to time.

They’re code.

Code for: I don’t really want to do what I say I want to do.

Because, you see, the people we work with are driven.

They achieve. They produce.

They get shit done.

It’s hard-wired. It’s part of their DNA.

So when they’re not doing something, it’s usually because they don’t really want to.

Wanting is the place of beginning. (And the want needs to be fueled by a sufficient “why.”)

So if you’re finding yourself stuck, ask yourself: “Do I really, really want this?”

If the answer is yes, connect with why it matters. Stop the perseveration. And get busy.

If the answer is no, that’s ok. Stop fooling yourself.

Put down the bone. Give yourself permission to walk away.

About The ‘R’ Word

by Walt | Mar 10, 2022 | Success | 0 Comments

The R word.

I found it pretty unsettling at first.

She slid it into the conversation. Nonchalantly. And I didn’t really understand its meaning.

You see, I was training for my first marathon.

I’d never run a marathon before. Ann, my amazing wife and business partner, had run a bunch of them.

She created this training plan for us.

Each day, neatly plotted out on a grid, like a calendar.

Saturday run 16 miles; Sunday 10.

Monday: R.

“A rest day,” she explained.

“But we’re runners,” I protested. “Runners run. AND, we’re getting ready for a race!”

“But, strong runners rest; especially if they want to run long races.”

That caused me to scratch my bald head.

There is a lot of fatigue in the world right now.

So much weariness.

Peak performers often see fatigue as weakness.

‘Pain is weakness leaving the body,’ the old trope goes.

So they muscle through.

But that makes it really tough to go the distance.

So, when you’re tired, use the R word. In fact, even when you don’t think you’re tired, use the R word.

REST.
