#75 - I am three times more successful with a coach

Hi, my name is Jorge Cruise, and I'm known as the 8-Minute Life Strategist to the world's busiest celebrities. I've been a fitness, nutrition, and peak performance trainer for over 20 years, and you may have seen my work with Oprah Winfrey, Khloe Kardashian, Tyra Banks, President Clinton, Kelly Clarkson, Dr. Oz, Tony Robbins, or even Steve Harvey. My career started because in my early 20s I had no no control of my life, and experts told me I was tired and overweight because I didn't exercise enough and overate. They were wrong. I discovered that there are fitness shortcuts that would give you control of your life in less time. My passion to find the best science-backed fitness shortcuts has allowed me to write over 30 books and become a multiple New York Times bestselling author with over 9 million books in print. And I know I can help you get control of your life. Welcome to the Jorge Cruise Show.

Well, welcome everyone. It is Thursday. This is September 10th. I can't believe it's 10th already. Uh, it's kind of crazy that tomorrow's September 11th. Uh, I always think of that day. Tomorrow will be weird, uh, back because I, I can remember it night and day. But, uh, without talking about September 11th, welcome to September 10th. I'm Jorge Cruise and you're at the Jorge Cruise Show. This is really all about, uh, the show is all about really about getting control of your life. Uh, for 20 years I've been author, 25 years a trainer, nutritionist, life strategist. I've been known for this 8 Minute Method for over 20 years, 2 decades. I wrote a book 19 years ago called 8 Minutes in the Morning, and it gave celebrities a way to transform their health. It gave everyone who bought the book a way to transform their health, and it was in 16 languages. So here I am 20 years later, still talking about it because it works. And this show really represents the idea behind it, which is shortcuts. That whatever you've been told that is the key to getting healthy and taking control of your life, most of the time that we're told, hey, you gotta exercise more and you gotta eat less, and that's what I was told because I was overweight, and I can tell you none of that is true. There are shortcuts, and that's what this show's all about. It's about giving you those shortcuts so you can get the results you want realistically, even during COVID-19. And on today's show, I'm super excited because we're gonna share, I'm gonna share with you what the science has shown is the key to being 3 times more successful at transforming your health, at taking control of your life. And that is getting a coach. And I'm going to share with you different ways you can get a coach starting today, Thursday. And more importantly, how you can let go of the ego, because sometimes our ego doesn't want help. You know, there's always that funny I don't know if it's a saying or if it's true, but for men out there, straight or gay, I'm sure we supposedly, because I know women will do this too, but we don't like to ask for directions. We just don't want help. And I can tell you, when you can realize how important your ability to lay that down, that ego part of us, and say, hey, we do need help, and hey, I need help, and I need help today, that opens a door to possibility. And that's what I had to do 20-some years ago, more, 25, because I was overweight, unhealthy, and out of control in my early 20s. And so on today's show, we're going to talk about how to get 3 times more successful. So stay tuned. The show is brought to you by my website, 8minuteslive.com. That's the number 8 minutes with an S live dot com. And that's where I coach my clients literally online through a live stream. It's something brand new that we set up at the beginning of this year. It hasn't been open to the public. We're opening this Monday, September 14th. So I'm super excited to welcome you. And if you want to learn about this 8-minute method of how to transform your health, please check it out. It's 8minuteslive.com. We also have a free 8-minute cure masterclass that's going out on Monday, so sign up for that. Just go to the site. And I also have a Friday email that goes out called the 8 Minute Live newsletter. It's all new. That'll go out every Friday with the best shortcuts that I have. So check that out. Again, the website, it's 8minuteslive.com. Hope you— hope to see you there. We're also brought to you by Zuro Hunger Water.

That's with a Z.

Z, zero hunger water. And for me, intermittent fasting has been my tool in the last 4 or 5 years to transform my health and longevity and also reduce waist circumference. It's what people like Steve Harvey and I worked on. It's something Mr. Harvey and I overcame, because it was hard for most people, for men and women. It was hard for him because he starts his day early. And what I've had to do in the last couple of months for myself, because I really wanted to get down to one meal a day, OMAD, it's an acronym, is find a way to turn off hunger. I'm very fortunate, as you guys probably heard on Monday, Labor Day, I had an interview with Dr. Jason Fung. He's been a friend of mine for over 3 years. He wrote the introduction to my book on intermittent fasting called The Cruise Control Diet. And I'll tell you, one of the biohacks that I love is electrolyte water with the right kind of balance of electrolytes that are more important to hunger control, such as magnesium, potassium. And I have created— this is my own product, this is my own baby— called Zero Hunger Water. And even though the product isn't coming out till the end of this year, um, I thought we would to sponsor this show because it is my passion. It's, I think, my legacy work. I'm super excited about it because I've been using it a lot when I go to the gym, and I'm truly now achieving a 24-hour fast. I literally eat every 24 hours. I used to do 16-hour fasts, then it was 20 hours, then I got to 24, sometimes I do 25 hours. I literally am not hungry, and it's not that I have an eating disorder. Please listen to Monday's show. It's that my body is hydrated. And 90% of the time when we think we're hungry, we're simply dehydrated. So check that out at zerohungerwater.com.

You're gonna love it.

It'll be out next year, end of this year, and you can get on the early invite list if you want to know more about it at zero, Z-E-R-O, hungerwater.com. All right, so with that said, let's get the show started. I'm excited. So what's this key to losing 3 times more weight? It's called a coach. Yes, and I'm a coach, but there are many people that can be coaches. Friends can be coaches, and what a coach is, when you think about it, think about it. The best players in sports, whether it was people like Michael Jordan or other types of sports, whether it's tennis, golf, whatever it is, they all have coaches. And what does a coach do? Think about it, guys. Take a deep breath in.

You're like, uh, I don't know, they help?

No, they help you elevate your game. They help you stay accountable. They help you stay focused. And what the science has shown, that if you can have a coach— and it could be a best friend, it could be someone like myself, uh, it could be someone in your neighborhood, whether it's someone you trust that works out with you like a, like a workout buddy. It could be someone who's a friend from high school, a friend from school, a friend from work. But you need someone that's going to push you, because a coach simply means someone who pushes you a little bit, that keeps you accountable a little bit. And what the science has shown is if you're able to have this kind of daily support, you're 3 times more successful at gaining control of your life, of losing weight, starting a fitness program, um, starting a new nutrition plan, doing intermittent fasting, uh, going to bed on time. Coaching is everything. And you guys know my life started years ago when my mentor, my original mentor, Anthony Robbins, who was my coach, he got me to wake up from, uh, a life where I wasn't happy. Happy. I was thinking about becoming an attorney. I studied political science at UCSD, and he got me to reevaluate everything. Where in my early 20s, I was overweight, out of control, and I thought, hey, if there was one thing I could do, it would be to get healthy and then to teach that to others. Wouldn't that be amazing? And get paid for it, maybe make it a career and, and help millions of people like Tony Robbins did. And back then This is in 1992. You know, I was overweight. I had a big belly of fat. I was going to UCSD unhappy and I made that shift, but it wouldn't have happened. I can promise you I wouldn't be here today without Anthony Robbins being my coach, you know, and he wrote, he was gracious enough to write the introduction to my very first book, 8 Minutes in the Morning, back in 2001. So we've been friends forever. And so I love coaching. I think coaching is the best investment of your time, of your money, of your focus because it gets you to follow through. So my challenge to you is simple. We have an affirmation I want to read to you. It's to embrace coaching and to let go of the ego, let go of that attachment of the pride that may come from doing it yourself, and knowing that you're better together.

So let's—

I'll say it once and we're going to say it 3 times together. You guys ready? It says, I am 3 times more successful with a coach. Yeah, that's what the science has proven. 3 times more successful. All right, let's do this together right now. Stand up tall. Hopefully you're in front of a mirror. Take a minute out of your day to stop, run to the bathroom, do whatever you have to do, have a moment to yourself and say the following with energy in your voice right now. I am 3 times more successful with a coach. I am 3 times more successful with a coach. One more time. I am 3 times more successful with a coach. Think about that. What does that mean for you being 3 times more successful? What kind of control will you have over your life if you can lose belly fat, if you can go to bed at the right time. If you can control your hunger by hydrating, you know, adding a pinch of Himalayan sea salt is the old-school way to add electrolytes to water. That's one way you can have zero hunger right now, but you got to do it consistently. Think of your life and gaining that control and take today's message, this message of coaching, of having support, a support system in place, and make it a part of your ethos, your soul, your heart, as I can promise you it'll change everything. All right, guys, and share today's message with at least 3 loved ones. And I want to invite you to make sure to join my text community. All right, you guys know where to reach me at. Text me if you need help. Peace and purpose, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Take good care.
