Prioritizing progress over perfection is the secret to getting in shape

Getting in shape was hard. Some days I felt: exhausted Uninspired Unmotivated But guess what? That didn’t stop me. Why? I didn’t let a bad day turn into a bad week. Or a bad week turn into a bad month. There were days I didn’t stick to my diet. There were days I missed my workout. My brain:“You messed up today, perfect week lost, you can let loose now” Don’t give into this. Remember… Progress over perfection. It’s okay to make mistakes along the way. Perfection is overrated. A bad day doesn’t...

There's one stupidly simple habit I follow. This habit has helped lose fat, without tracking a thing. Without tracking calories. Without watching what I eat. Without analyzing everything I put on my plate. And the habit is to simply eat only when you're hungry. The thing is, most people eat whenever they feel like it. When they watch TV. When they're bored. Or when they're just after the next dopamine hit. And this type of eating leads to overeating. Which leads to massive gain in fat mass....

Getting lean has been one of my goals for a long time alongside building muscle. Here's me 6 months ago: December 7th And here's me today: Not only did I lose a lot of fat, I've also gained an impressive amount of muscle. Today we'll mostly focus on fat loss and some general principles of retaining muscle while trying to lose fat. To lose fat, we first need to understand how fat loss works. How fat loss works? Fat loss is driven by energy deficit. You need to burn more calories than you...

Protein is by far the most important macronutrient when it comes to building muscle. Protein is responsible for muscle protein synthesis (MPS), meaning that protein is the only macronutrient that can stimulate muscle growth. Therefore it's crucial to understand how to use protein because otherwise, you may be leaving potential gains on the table. By the end of this email, you'll have a clear understanding of how to use protein for maximum muscle growth. We'll cover topics like: How much...

In this email I will share with you 3 strategies I'm currently using to build an engaged community around myself and my brand. Building an engaged community is much more than just building a following. That's why we see so many accounts with 50,000 followers and barely no engagement on their posts... They didn't focus on community. And that's why we also see accounts with less than 5,000 followers getting consistently high engagement... They took the correct route by focusing on community....

I have created content on X for 9 months. During that time I've had dozens of different content strategies and have learned an incredibly important lesson: Content creation is all about balance. Think of content creation as a graph: On the left side of the spectrum, you have content that is purely focused on follower growth. This type of content usually has no soul, no personality, no meaning... But it's good because it allows you to reach a lot of people, hence the growth. On the right, you...

"This will be my year." This is what I used to say at the end of every year. Big promises were made... "I will quit all my bad habits." "I will start an online business." "I will do the things that improve my life." "I will do nothing that will decrease the quality of my life." The motivation was always high at the end of every year. It was like turning a new page that was whiter than anything I've ever seen. But the problem with white things is that one single stain can ruin the entire...

From the moment you leave your mothers' belly, the conditioning starts. Your parents, siblings, teachers, peers, trainers, etc. They are all influencing you and your beliefs. If everyone around you tells you that without a degree you're a failure, then that's what you'll believe. It's unnatural to go right when the majority goes left or to believe X if everyone else believes Y. I first noticed it in primary school, whenever I got a different answer from the other kids, I didn't want to tell...

I got sucked into the degenerate lifestyle very early on. I lit my first cigarette at the age of 15, weed at 16 and driving without a license at 17. (Got caught) From the age of 16-17 I spent the majority of my weekends drinking slowly but surely killing my health. I didn't sleep much, fell ill every 2 weeks and did absolutely nothing productive with my life. My life was heading downhill faster than a Ferrari on a racetrack. The root of my problems were bad habits. Show me your habits and I...

Ever since I was a young kid, I always wanted to own a business. Mostly because I associated the word business to a person who makes a lot of money and owns fancy cars. I made up my mind as a 15 year old kid-- I will become a business owner and make tons of money. I started my first business when I turned 17... A marketing agency. Truth be told, I called it an "agency" because I wanted to look cool among my classmates. In reality, behind the fancy word was an inexperienced 17 year old kid and...
