Seeking Playmates!

By 2 Comments

I love “old folks.”

.

Much of the people in my life are “old folks.”

I don’t mean their actual age.

I mean how long they’ve been around.

As customers, clients, friends, gym buddies, etc.

But the world is a big place.

There are always lots of new and great experiences to have.

.

So as much as I love old folks, I always seek out new blood.

.

New playmates.

In the true sense of the word. People to play with.

Have adventures with.

And that can take the form of people who invest in my products or services.

New energy. New struggles. New challenges.

And of course, new triumphs.

.

So I’m calling out to new playmates.

.

Maybe you’re one of them.

Come throw down!

Because we play hard while we work hard.

And we achieve hard.

And if you’re one of the “old folks,” I have good news.

You can easily shift around your energy, your intentions, your commitment…

You can easily become one of the new playmates.

No matter how long you’ve been around!

YOUR TURN!

For real! I want you as one of my new playmates!

I’ll make it worth your while. 😉

 

So Proud Of Her

I am SO proud of one of our T3 Monsters (as we call them).

.

If you’ve been following it, you know The T3 Method is the health and weight
loss community I founded at the beginning of 2015. I promised a few things…

*Correct and helpful instruction on eating, nutrition and movement that will help your body come back into balance.

* A community that supports and even loves each other.

* An environment of inspiration and accountability.

* TRANSPARENCY. I tell the truth ALL the time…no exceptions.

I made good on each and every one of those promises.

And the results are pouring in. Weight is being lost. People are sizing down in their clothes and discovering muscles they forgot existed. Energy is being gained.

This is all great stuff. I’m proud of all these guys!

And by the way…not everyone is getting these results. Some folks are sitting on the sidelines, watching the process.

We don’t love them any less. It’s just not their time to make the big push.

Many people are watching, gathering up their courage and sense of adventure before they make the big commitment to getting healthier.

Everyone is welcome, and so far there haven’t been any complaints.

I also promised one other thing…

.

This isn’t just “weight loss.”

.

I never intended to start a community for something that has a 95% failure rate over time.

Weight loss with just diet and exercise pretty much never works…at least not long term.

.

So I promised we would also do the single most important thing: help people feel better, function better and see themselves as strong and worthy of success…

.

In every part of their lives.

And that is DEFINITELY happening!

People are getting bolder. They’re doing more things to help their careers and businesses.

They’re making changes to their relationships.

And they’re taking chances they’ve never taken before.

And the current Queen Of Risk Taking is Virginia. (the woman, not the state).

Virginia has done some really cool things. I’m not going to talk about them here. They’re private T3 Community business, and we watch out for each other.

What she did is shoot a video. Nothing earth shattering. Just a one minute smartphone video in a parked car.

But she let us see her.

And that’s something she’d never been willing to do before.

You understand what happens when people do things that are outside of their comfort zone, right?

Everything!

They lose weight. Or they make major progress in their professional and financial lives.

Or they find the love of their lives, sometimes after years of loneliness and frustration.

Or they just lay their head on the pillow at night with a sense of peace.

THAT’S what we do in The T3 Method.

And THAT’S why I’m so proud of my T3 Monsters, Virginia at this particular moment.

So…

If you’re looking for a bald headed dude to be proud of you…

If you’re looking for a community of bright, beautiful people to be proud of you…

If you’re looking to be proud of yourself…

And get some amazing health and weight results while you’re at it…

Check us out.

TheT3Method-01C

P.S.: One other important thing…  In T3, it’s not just other people loving you and cheering you on. YOU also make a commitment to supporting and loving others.

There’s something about taking on that leadership role that makes you want to get better in every area of your life.

And that seems to be another reason why so many people are rocketing forward in the different parts of their lives.

A Hot Mess

A lot of us need to get to the point where we are a HOT MESS before we make change.

 

I get it. Been there, done that.
.
The hot mess doesn’t have to be chaos in your outer world.
.
You don’t have to lose your job, or your home,  or your spouse, etc.
.
It doesn’t have to be a heart attack or cancer. Or getting attacked by a pack of wild hyenas.
.
Most of us who are a Hot Mess are lying in bed at 3:00 am full of dread and worry.
.
If we’re not experiencing a disease, we’re experiencing dis-ease. In other words, not having the ease and flow our bodies and spirits are supposed to experience.
.
Yeah, life isn’t always supposed to be easy.
.
But it is supposed to be something we can navigate without too much trouble.
.
And when our hearts ache and our brains feverishly try to solve our problems in the middle of the night…
.

It’s what I would call a Hot Mess.

.
And the truth is, in some ways it’s helpful to be a hot mess.
.
That’s when your motivation to change is at its strongest.  You’re in enough to pain change the patterns that brought you to that bad place…and if you’re lucky, follow through on new habits and get better.
.
But many of us aren’t at that boiling point yet. We’re on a low flame. Uncomfortable enough to notice, not hurting enough to commit to something better.
.
Sometimes it takes moving to that Hot Mess place before real change happens.
.
But if you’ve got a voice whispering in your ear –  not screaming, but whispering – that it’s time to do something different…
.
It would make your life easier if you followed it.
.
Throw down with something different and better.
.
Lose what you need to lose.
.
Pick up what you need to pick up.
.
Let your “warm mess” move you to a better place.
.
YOUR TURN
.
When was the last time you were willing to make a change before a warm mess became HOT?
.
What motivated you? What was the result of your choice?

Falling (Back) In Love

By Leave a Comment

falling in love

I have my annual “For The Freaks” New Year’s Eve message ready to go, with the 2015 update. But this is on my mind and heart, so I’m putting it out there…

***   ***

I did one of those 15 second Instagram videos that showed me juggling. CLICK HERE if you want to take a look.

The whole idea was telling people that no, juggling is not part of the T3 Method. But anything that helps us to raise our heart rates, get a little resistance training, get moving again if that’s what we need to do and basically fall back in love with our bodies IS part of it.

And Christopher Marinelli, our resident certified personal trainer has lots of different ways to make that happen

But as I was speaking the words into my iPhone, the brain storm hit…

.

Falling BACK in love with our bodies.

.

Think back to the earliest time you can remember in your life. You were learning to walk, or to ride a bike or to do something that took more physical skill and coordination then you had at the moment.

It was a challenge, but you loved it.

Your body was young, responsive and unlimited. You didn’t sweat the accidents, the falls, even as you skin your knee and cried for your parents. Your body was your friend. It was your vehicle to experience the world, and you loved it.

Then of course over time things changed. Age, metabolism, gravity, maybe disease. Lifestyle choices, stress…these became players in your day-to-day existence. Maybe you still experienced your body as a friend on the journey. But many didn’t.

Well, I’m telling you you can fall back in love with your body.

.

 

Because truth be told, you never completely fell out of love with your body. Even if it seems that way.

.

Yes, the relationship can get complicated. But show me any long term relationship that doesn’t have its challenges.

If you’ve ever fallen in love with a person – I mean really fell in love, not infatuation, but love –  and then the relationship ended…

You never fell out of love completely. You know it. You know you kept the space deep inside that belongs only to them, and you imagined they did the same with you. Even if they didn’t, you still held that space because that kind of love is eternal.

You do the same thing with your body, whether you know it or not. It is your life partner. It is your vehicle. You take it with you, for better or for worse.

And even if you neglected it, forgot to nurture and cherish it, that love stays with you. Yes, like that relationship.  It reflects the level of care you give it. But like the little kid you were, it is the eternal optimist.

The T3 Method is just that: a method to get you strong, fit healthy, and if necessary, lose weight.

But it’s also a community, and a lifestyle. One that promotes wellness. And wholeness. And eternal unconditional love, for that part of you that has never really gone away.  And as long as you breathe in and out never will.

And we’re holding a space…for you.

Come join us!

Happy Holiday Truth Bombs

By 1 Comment

800px-Clifton_Mill_Christmas_2005

Well…we’re just about there!

Six more days until Christmas…so I guess this would be the official Holiday Season edition of Truth Bombs.

Thing is…I really didn’t see any amazing ones in the Christmas spirit. Maybe the season stands on its own.

And no doubt you’ve seen enough holiday stuff!

So we’ll just roll on with these gems. Enjoy!

An Authenticity Truth Bomb from Tony Rush:

A couple of years ago, I was at a “Speaker’s Training” which was described as an opportunity to learn more about communicating with live audiences.

It turned out to be a lot about how to manipulate people…..how (and when) to snap your fingers….and NOTHING that could be safely described as “honest” or “authentic”.

Finally, I thought to myself: “If I’ve got a choice of how to spend this day, the last thing I’m going to do is stay in this room”.

So, I passed my laptop to my friend and said, “Hey, can you bring this back to the hotel when you come? I’m going to get out of here and go do some shopping.”

And I left. And I went shopping.

Let me be the first to say, I’m not a professional speaker. That is, I don’t earn my living by doing speeches. (And, in fairness, neither was the guy teaching this speaker’s training.)

But, since 2005, I’ve averaged about 4 events per year speaking to 1,500-4,000 people in places like Barcelona, Rome, Sydney, Cancun, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, Dallas, Bahamas, and British Columbia.

And here’s what I’ve learned: if you’ve got to use side-show carnival tricks to get someone to buy something, that’s a good indication that you either

A.) are lousy at establishing real value or
B.) the product is air and there’s no real value to establish.

What sells is AUTHENTICITY.

And I mean real authenticity. Not just people showing up onstage looking like they just rolled out of bed, skipped a bath and litter their talk with R-rated language as a way of pretending that they’re being “authentic” and “keeping it real”.

That’s just another form of show-business.

Real authenticity is rare. But when your mind is quiet and you encounter the genuine article…..you’ll recognize it. Because it’s as different from all the phonies as a diamond is from sawdust.

Here’s the cost: it requires courage.

Not the courage to curse onstage. Or to show up without a suit. Heck, anyone can do that. It’s arguable that’s become the norm.

No, real authenticity means being honest about what you’re selling….and trusting that an honest description of your product is “enough” to make the sale.

I’m not saying you can’t use sales techniques.
I’m not saying you can’t use clever copywriting.
I’m not saying you can’t make compelling calls-to-action or instill a sense of urgency.

But if you’re relying more on gimmicks and NLP and “hypnosis techniques” to make up for a product/offer/opportunity that can’t stand on its own in the marketplace….

….then, sooner or later, you will have to question whether you’re actually creating value for people or just making money.

A Loving The Earth Truth Bomb from Acacia Land:

I love laying on the sweet mama Earth. Feeling my body pressed up to it’s nourishing soil, grounding me. Fully supported and listening with my belly and ears to the ground. Bowing to all the ways it takes care of me, takes care of life. Letting it inform my body of it’s potential to create with nature in harmony.

A You Are A Star Truth Bomb from Jeff Brown:

I am all for respecting remarkable people, but there is a fine line between healthy respect and unhealthy adulation. If only we got as excited about saying hello to the stars within us as we do to the stars outside of
us, the world would be a much healthier place.

So let’s give it a try- Ask yourself for your own autograph now and then. Scream with delight when you see yourself in the mirror. Hide behind a tree and take a picture of yourself when you walk out from behind it. Send yourself some fan mail.

Fame begins at home.

A Divine Consciousness Truth Bomb from me:

The God Force/Divine Consciousness/Righteous Dude in your adversary wants you to be thrilled, happy, joyful…and move on from whatever pain you’ve experienced from your interactions with them.

And your inner Righteous Dude wants the same for them.

And Finally, a Change Truth Bomb from LaGina Love :

Many people want to change the world but not many want to change themselves. Change begins with YOU!

First be the change you would like to see in the world. We can do it….ONE person at a time.

 

YOUR TURN!

Which of these Truth Bombs KABOOMED you the hardest?

Got any of your own to add?
