Is being overweight limiting your profits?

Even as a successful entrepreneur, we have to acknowledge the fact that if we are not taking care of ourselves, there is going to be a knock-on effect. Yes, we can still be profitable. Yes, the business can still be successful, but ultimately it can never reach the level that it has potential to if we're not taking care of ourselves first. Because if I'm not taking care of me, well then I don't show up as the best version of me. I haven't got the most amount of energy possible. I don't have the most amount of confidence and self-esteem. I don't have the same level of certainty within myself because I might be fearing being judged by other people and so on. And ultimately, I can't be as productive or as effective in my business if I'm not taking care of me first. Now, the catch-22 is there's this part of us that says, okay, well, if I now start focusing on me, that means I'm sacrificing my business and my business may begin to suffer as a result of that. And if my business is suffering, well, then that means profits are suffering, income is suffering, which means potentially my family suffer because now it's going to be harder for me to keep a roof over their head, put food on the table, and keep them financially secure. So I understand that sometimes we think, well, if I take time away from the business, that's going to cause a problem or have a knock-on effect. But that's why we have to be careful about how we do it. We don't just blindly go, okay, well, now I'm going to focus all of my time, effort, and energy on my health. Instead, we have to be strategic about that because ultimately we want to be able to grow our business and our body at the same time, because that way we elevate our relationships as well as our being at the same time. So what that means is if my business continues to grow, my family maintains their financial security. And if my body grows, well, now my relationship and potentially my intimacy and connection with my partner and sex and so on also improves as a result, because I now show up with more confidence, more certainty. I'm potentially going to be a more attractive lover, someone she finds more desirable, because I'm taking care of my body. So it's a win-win. The body begins to win, so therefore the business begins to win, and therefore the relationships begin to win even more. So we have to look at this thing on a, on a bigger picture than, oh, I'm just taking time away from my business and therefore going to potentially affect my profits or my productivity? Because if we get this right, we don't actually need a lot of time. And in fact, for most of us, we can actually make significant gains in less than 5% of our day. But we have to be willing to obviously take that time from the business potentially, or from somewhere else in our life, and then dedicate that time to focusing on the, the specific tasks and actions that are actually going to move the needle. Not just doing things to make us feel like we're putting in effort and feel like we're moving towards a result, but things that will actually change that scale weight, things that actually help you reduce the belly and lose the excess weight. Because if we're doing things that just massage the ego, that's just going to lead us to believing that, well, this shit doesn't work and it's not worth it. It's not worth the time, the effort, the energy. And it reinforces this idea that it's a waste of time. I don't have time for this. I'll get around to that when I get more opportunity. So we have to make sure that whatever it is we choose to do are the specific things that are going to move the needle, and we need to make sure that it's focused enough that we only need short amount of time dedicated to it in order to get the result that we want. Because as we just mentioned, we want to affect business productivity and effectiveness as little as possible. But what we also find when we do give ourselves that 5% or less We actually increase productivity and effectiveness because now we show up as a better version of us. We've got more energy, we've got more clarity, we've got more confidence and certainty, and we're clearer about where we're trying to take this business and what we want this business as a vehicle to provide for us in life. I now have a vessel that aligns with the purpose my business maybe has and along with the purpose or vision I have for my family. But now I have a body that will enable me to do that and show up as the best version of me. That will help me get results across the board, not just in business, not just in relationships, but in all domains at the same time. So if we can take that step back and go, okay, well, what am I actually losing as a result of not working on myself? What do I lose as a result of not getting the body that I actually desire, allowing myself to stay overweight, tired, lethargic, weak, achy, and so on, having this lesser version of me that's potentially got low self-esteem, low confidence, maybe embarrassed and even ashamed of the body that you have? What do you lose by allowing yourself to remain in that state? Because when we can identify that, it sometimes makes it easier for us to make that decision. Okay, well, actually, maybe I should dedicate some time, effort, and energy to this because it's actually going to pay back with interest once I get this game rolling. Now, of course, if you're unsure, of the specific things that you might need to do, feel free to reach out to me. We can jump on a quick metabolic kickstart call and I can walk you through the specific blueprint that I use with entrepreneurs to help them grab back the time that they need from their busy schedule so that they can dedicate that 5% of their day to working on their health, to working on their body, so that they can elevate the way that they're showing up in business, in their relationships. And not only that, but for yourself, of course, because believe it or not, once you realize that showing up for you makes you more capable of showing up for the other areas of your life, you realize that you've just been wasting your time for all these years by thinking that showing up for you was actually being selfish and taking away from those other areas. So if you have any questions on this, feel free to drop them below. And as I mentioned, if you want to go through that blueprint with me, drop me a DM with the word Kickstart. We can jump on a quick Kickstart call and I can walk you through this specific blueprint and how we can make it work for you. So that you can start building a body that matches the success you have in your business. Thanks for watching, people, and I look forward to chatting with you in my next video. Take it easy.
