Day 16: The Work Shows in the Hands
Yesterday was pull day, and my hands tell the story. Raw. Beat up. Worked.
This isn’t pretty. This isn’t easy. And if you’re looking for “hacks” or shortcuts, you’re in the wrong place.

This is what it looks like to build from nothing.
The hours of training, the repetition, the discipline—it all leaves a mark.
But that’s the point.
Adjusting & Adapting – Today is Shoulder Day
Training isn’t just about effort—it’s about strategy. I had to shift my split, so today is shoulder day, and I’m adjusting my plan accordingly.
That’s how this entire journey works.
💥 Business plan needs tweaking? Adjust.
💥 Outreach not converting fast enough? Adapt.
💥 Strength lagging in certain areas? Fix it.
There’s no time for excuses. Only execution.
What’s Getting Done Today
✅ Shoulder Day Training – Focused on building power and size, refining weaknesses, and adjusting my plan to fit the bigger picture.
✅ Continuing Gym Space Negotiations – Talking to gym owners, learning from their experience, and ensuring I make the right move. The space has to align with my long-term vision.
✅ Finalizing Pre/Postpartum Certification – Dialing in my niche for women’s health & wellness. This isn’t just about fitness—it’s about changing lives.
✅ Following Up for Testimonials – The women I’ve been training for free? Now it’s time to capture their feedback. This isn’t just a business move—it’s proof that what I do works.
✅ Refining My Own Training Plan – Working with someone who has done this before to attack weak areas and maximize results.
✅ Pushing Myself to Talk About This Journey More – It’s easy to fall back into what I’ve done for 10+ years (consulting). But success requires visibility, and I’m forcing myself to show up.
Frustration? Yeah. But This Is A Long Game.
I want things to move faster. I want deals closed, clients locked in, money flowing.
But nothing worth building happens overnight.
So instead of wasting energy on what’s missing, I’m doubling down on what’s working.
🔥 The training is progressing.
🔥 The business is gaining traction.
🔥 The foundation is getting stronger.
And today? I execute. I push harder. I stay locked in.
The Moment That Reminded Me Why I’m Doing This
This morning, I heard the birds chirping. And for a second, I stopped thinking about the work and just felt the excitement.
This journey? It’s in God’s hands.
I’ll put in the effort. I’ll take the hits. But the outcome is already written.
So today, I show up and do my part.
And tomorrow? We push even harder.
