Want to Start a Business? Hit the Gym First (Seriously!)

Okay, hear me out…You’re probably thinking, “What does bench pressing have to do with building a business?” (Stay with me here, I promise this isn’t just my excuse to talk about my gains 💪) Here’s the thing: While everyone’s out there watching “How to Be an Entrepreneur” YouTube videos at 2 AM, the real business school might actually be your local gym. Plot twist, right? Let’s break down why sweating it out is basically a MBA in disguise:

Lesson #1: The “I Don’t Feel Like It” Test

You know that moment when your alarm goes off at 6 AM and your bed feels like it’s giving you a warm, cozy hug? Yeah, getting up anyway is EXACTLY the kind of stubborn determination you’ll need when your business hits a rough patch. (And trust me, it will!)

Lesson #2: The Instant Gratification Killer

Want abs in a day? Sorry, not happening. Want overnight business success? Also not a thing. The gym teaches you that real results take time. It’s like a crash course in patience – minus the crashing, plus some squats.

Lesson #3: The Consistency Game

Here’s the secret sauce of both fitness AND business: showing up. Not just when you’re motivated. Not just when it’s convenient. But Every. Single. Day. (Okay, maybe take Sunday off… we’re building an empire, not losing our minds!)

Lesson #4: The Mental Toughness Bootcamp

When you’re on rep 8 of 10, and your muscles are screaming “NOPE!”, but you push through anyway? That’s the exact same grit you’ll need when your first business launch flops or a client says “no.” (Bonus: you’ll already know how to breathe through the pain!)

Lesson #5: The Confidence Builder

Something magical happens when you start seeing those first gym results. Suddenly you’re standing taller, feeling stronger, and thinking “Hey, if I can do this… what else can I do?” (Spoiler alert: A lot!) Here’s the real tea: Success in business isn’t just about strategies and spreadsheets. It’s about building the mental muscle to handle whatever comes your way. And guess what? The gym is literally a mental muscle-building playground! So before you max out your credit card on business courses or spend another late night planning your empire, try this: Get yourself to the gym.

Start small. Build consistency. Push through when it’s hard. Because let’s be honest – if you can’t commit to a workout routine, how are you going to commit to building a whole business? Plus, worst case scenario? You end up with better health and a rockin’ bod while figuring out your business plan. Talk about a win-win! Remember: Every rep is preparing you for every challenge your future business will throw at you. (And trust me, it’ll throw plenty!) Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a date with some dumbbells… I mean, my “business coaching session.” 😉
