A short conversational excerpt from a Lori Harder YouTube video arguing that lessons learned from fitness—particularly discipline and showing up consistently—translated into success in business. The speakers reference training (including a 70.3 Ironman) and describe delayed visible results despite long-term underlying progress, applying that mindset to entrepreneurship.
Fitness was the first place I learned discipline. It was like the very first thing that taught me everything.
We did a 70.3 Ironman. It was easily the hardest thing that I've ever done in my life. And to see the mindset I had to where I had gotten it made me really start thinking, like, where else am I not allowing myself to believe in the possibility? People that grew up in fitness like yourself, like, I get why you're so successful. Because that foundation of showing up every day, every decision, every.
If you just keep showing up, it'll eventually happen. Because in fitness, the first, like, two years, you don't really see anything, even though so much is happening underneath. And that helped me in business. I may not see a result right now, but I know I've just spent a year laying groundwork.
That's the key. All the work's under the surface until, like, a bamboo tree, boom. And then it shows up. And then everybody goes like, oh, good for you. And you're like, no, you don't know.
