What is YOUR key to being successful?

Hey folks!

First off…

Thank you all for reading my last blog post on “Why I feel so fantastic!”

I appreciate all the feedback from you.

Anyway…

I get questions all the time about what motivates me to get up so early every day, work two full time jobs and stay so positive all time.

I guess the #1 answer would be that I love what I do.

Other aspiring fitness professionals are constantly telling us that they would love to have a business like The Training Room.

I get a lot of questions about our “Secrets” to running a successful gym.

Well folks…

There are NO training secrets because all of our training is posted on our website every single day for the past 8 years or so.

Hopefully your have our free I phone APP!

YES…training methods ARE  very important, and getting results keeps people coming back to you.

If you want to learn more about our training methods and how we run our groups, then attend one of our Certification Courses.

BUT, there is more to it then just the training.

The Milkman and and I work very well together and have for the last 13 years.

We don’t mind gettting here every morning at 6am!

There are not many days of work that we have missed since 1999.

Not including any natural catastrophes that have occurred between then and now, I can count on one hand the days we’ve missed in 13 years of business.

Here are a few other gems that work for us!

  • Consistency. (this cannot be emphasized enough)
  • Support from your awesome wife (This is a VERY important key to our success at The TR…our wives are very patient with us in all of the crazy stuff we do)
  • Show up day in and day out and give your best! (more CONSISTANCY)
  • Be willing to learn from others in order to stay on top of your game. (don’t be a know-it-all)
  • Join a mastermind of successful professionals (whatever your profession might be) who are all kicking ass and have the same mindset as you.
  • Repel negativity! Stay away from negative people who may drag you down with them.
  • Be like Cal Ripken (CONSISTANT!)

Here are some other personal things that I would like to share with you…

Uncle Mike’s Great Life Formula

  • Get up early every morning ( I wake up around 5am just about every day)
  • Take care of your body ( good food, sleep and consistent and smart training)
  • Work hard at doing what you love (if you hate what you do, change it)
  • Challenge yourself (find an event that will challenge you physically and mentally. For some this could be a marathon, SEALfit challenge or even a 5k walk or run)
  • Be nice to people and just be a good person (have a smile on your face, and don’t walk around looking like you ate and asshole sandwich)
  • Don’t complain about stuff ( no one wants to hear it, it’s annoying. If you need to vent, vent to your wife or a good friend who cares)
  • Promote healthy lifestyle to as many people you can (be active, train/play outdoors, at home, work, family parties, talk it up  etc…)
  • Do all of the stuff I mentioned above CONSISTANTLY and you will set a great example for your children, and they will do the same which will make the world a better place)

I’m sure there are a few things I’m missing here…

What can YOU add to this list?

I all starts at home folks!

Do your part by setting a great example for your children, or people that surround you.

I know this all sounds so very simple, but apparently it’s not because there are still WAY to many unhappy and unhealthy individuals walking the planet.

I will continue to be consistent, therefore I WILL be successful!

Peace

Uncle Mike

Shawn 11:16 am - 9th December:

Great words of encouragement Mike. Today’s my b-day, (the big 42), and at somewhat of a crossroad in my career. On a professional level, I’m surrounded by a lot of negativity. The key, like you said, is to rise above.
Thanks man!

A-hole sandwich????….I have to use that one.

Mike,
You and your family are a great example to so many. Thanks for what you do everyday.

Mark Fitzgerald 8:07 am - 10th December:

The above article is why I consider you one of my mentors.. Much appreciated..

Lar 8:31 am - 10th December:

Good stuff Mike,
Like I have tried to teach my kids…..”The character of a man is not judged by how he acts when he wins, but how he re-acts when he loses.” Whether in sports, business, life obstacles or anything…if you handle moments with sensibility and respect for others, along with the Training Room’s good vibes, the days just might be that much easier.

Kelly 8:46 am - 10th December:

Your blog might sound simple just like the workouts at the TR until you start to do them. If I work hard at the gym I always feel better/stronger and glad I made the effort. I know that if I try to practice even just a few things on the list, I will be a better person for it.
Thanks Mike!!

Fran 10:00 am - 10th December:

Hi Mike!
This world needs more people like you, with an everyday very high positive attitude. If people could get up each morning and go to do their work with that attitude, we would live in a better world, no doubt. You can make people think they can do something for change the world, just following your way…
Thank you and greets from Spain

Great stuff, Uncle Mike. Thanks for the boost to my week!

Dale King 12:06 pm - 10th December:

Nice work Uncle Mike! The lessons learned from the Unbeatable Mind Academy are fantastic! Just want to say thank you for all the good stuff you pump out to the world. Some of my keys:
1) Passion and Enthusiasm!
2) Live to serve others
3) Cannot agree with you more about “repelling negativity”. Negativity is a cancer

Love you bro!

Mike Stehle 3:39 pm - 10th December:

Awesome Dale! We miss you brother!

Mike Stehle 3:40 pm - 10th December:

Anytime G Man! See you this weekend, right??

Great post. You always inspire. If I never found your gym I wouldn’t have started mine. I am forever greatful and also greatful to be part of the TR family. Thanks brother. God bless!

Ps I really hope I never taste an A hole sandwich.
