Dr. Noah St John outlines three pillars of transformation: the right plan, tools, and support, plus consistent action. He uses fitness metaphors to argue there are no shortcuts, critiquing the "magic pill" approach to productivity and results.
We call these the 3 pillars of transformation, and that is having the right plan, the right tools, and the right support, right? The right tool, or excuse me, the right plan, which is what to do, right? So, like, you know, in my books and my coaching and my courses, I give you that. I give you the right plan and I show you what to do. I show you what to do and how to do it. I mean, I show you different tools and things like that. And then I, of course, I give you the right support. You know, a lot of times, a lot, you know, as a coach, as a mentor, one of my biggest jobs is believing in people before they believe in themselves. Right? Because a lot of people have gone through trauma or loss. I mean, everybody has, right? I mean, you know, you get to a certain age in life, it's pretty hard to not have loss or trauma or pain or whatever. So, you know, people have been beat up or, you know, just traumatized, whatever, by life, by things. And so, you know, getting that support is so, so crucial. And then the 4th element of transformation is taking the right action. See, it's like, you know, if you hired me because I was the best personal trainer and you say, hey, no, I really want to get in shape. I want to have 6-pack abs. So You know, I hear you're the best trainer around, so, you know, you know, here's the money and can you train me? I said, sure. And then you say, hey Noah, by the way, can you do my sit-ups for me so I can get 6-pack abs? Like, well, that would be great, wouldn't it? Wouldn't it be nice to hire somebody to do our sit-ups and we get the 6-packs? That would be awesome. Right. I haven't figured that one out yet, but I'd be a billionaire if I could do that one. Yeah. All right. I'll do your sit-ups and you get 6-pack abs. But what's so funny is that's what a lot of marketing is, right? They say things like that. It's a magic pill. It's a silver bullet. And it was like, no, sorry, those don't exist. Gosh darn it. So, you know, but having the right plan, the right tools, and the right support to me is really the crucial elements of that transformation. And then we just say, listen, if you just take a few actions every day, it's probably not probably, it is going to, it's definitely going to give you more productive results than what you're doing right now.
