My nutrition is a war zone right now.
Some weeks, I’m locked in—hitting macros, stacking momentum.
Then I’ll have a day where I forget to eat enough protein and binge on carbs.
I tell myself it’s not a big deal.
“Just an off day.”
But it is. Those days break the chain.
They don’t just slow progress—they reverse compounding.
James Clear put it best:
“If you get 1% better each day for a year, you’ll end up 37x better by the time you’re done.”
But only if you keep going.
Start. Stop. Reset?
You don’t get better. You just burn time.
💼 Business Grows During the Boring Moments
Same in business.
We get impatient waiting for a breakthrough.
But most successful founders didn’t break through. They compounded slowly.
Phil Knight didn’t create Nike in a slide deck.
He sold shoes out of the trunk of his car.
Bill Martin built Furman United on nights and weekends for a decade.
He didn’t pivot when things felt slow—he outlasted them.
Most people don’t fail because of bad ideas.
They stop stacking reps before momentum kicks in.
💪 Fitness Isn’t Failing You—Your Consistency Is
This week, you don’t need a new plan.
You need a boring, repeatable system you can’t talk yourself out of.
Maybe yours is a daily habit like Tom Rowland. He trained daily—while running boats, raising kids, and building a business.
“I train like rent’s due on my lungs.”
The GOAT, Rich Froning didn’t become the undisputed champ by going hard occasionally—He trained three times a day. For years.
“Don’t jump around. Stick to a program... the hard days are when you get better.”
It wasn’t about intensity. It was identity.
Builders don’t miss.
Because the days we think don’t matter?
They’re the ones that matter most.
What are you struggling to build momentum in right now? For me, it’s continuing to build reps in the early days of this series - and my nutrition. LMK what you’re working on. We’ll build together.
