It is a common disease that strikes many quickly and suddenly.
It has destroyed the strongest of men and the bravest of women.
It is a silent, decimating killer.
It's Letupicitis! Commonly known as quitting, letting up, slowing down, pulling back and backing down.
It is the moment you taste the start of success in your goals and instead of hitting the gas you "let up". It the day you step on the scale to see you have dropped 3 pounds and reward yourself with a Big Mac and a day off, instead of pushing play. It is the moment after you have posted your third blog of the week and decide to cool the keys and wait on inspiration.
Letupicitis is rooted in the bacteria of disbelief. It is contracted on the microbe of a poor self perception and spreads on the virus of a poor self perception.
It is known as the dream killer disease. It slowly infects the dreamer and keeps him/her from pushing past barriers to new levels. At one point or another we will all contract this silent killer of imagination, passion and conviction. If you let it, it will infect your heart and keep your from achieving the dream you set out to.
Know the symptoms, recognize the signs, and push past letupicitis!

Hustlers
I wish I had some huge success story about my Team Beachbody business taking off and making me a millionaire. I don't, at least not yet.
So I enrolled myself in a little adventure with writer, blogger and fashionably smart Jon Acuff for a 30 day hustle marathon. Clustered together are over 3000 individuals who are taking aim at a specific goal. Jon Acuff, New York Times Best Selling author and encourager of people wisely leaving behind their jobs for their passions, serves as the Skipper of a ship full of Gilligans. Or at least this Gilligan. My hope was simply to gain something that would help my business grow.
Admittedly, I have probably taken too much time to read through the posts rather than focus on my own hustle, what I have seen is that there is an abundance of people "hustling" to lose weight, get in shape and change their health.
While numbers are reported of the rising trend of obesity, that reality becomes a little more real when you start putting names and faces with it. Attached to those names are personal, heartfelt and emotional stories of struggle. Of weight lost and regained. Of deep disappointment, coupled with new found hope that this time it will be different.
Each story tugs digs a little deeper as I realize that I am not in a business about business. I am in a business about people. The greater value is not the sale of one more P90X or Insanity
program, but helping someone author the new chapter in their story. A chapter entitled "Losing It For Good". I have been rocked again and again by the Zig Ziglar famous words that "if you help enough people get where they are going, they will help you get where you are going."
I logged into this escapade with the hopes of gaining something about how to run a business, set goals and move from the dreaded day job to a dream job. What I am sure that knowledge will be gained, what I am unexpectedly acquiring is a deeper sense that people just need someone to walk beside them and say "you can do this." My hope is that I have the opportunity to be the voice in their life saying just that!
Everyday we're hustlin'!
