Wie man wirklich in Form kommt

0:00Final thing I wanted to ask you about. So, I think I heard you say in one of the interviews that you've had six-pack abs since the age of like 16 or something something like that. Yeah, it's your first of all time. No, love it. >> [laughter] >> Still got them. I I've had six-pack abs on my kind of annual bucket list for the last several years and just never really gotten there. Is there like a single resource or

0:26>> lack of knowledge or or is it lack of knowledge or motivation? Motivation. Okay, well, that's that's a totally different thing. You know what I mean? Like you might you might also want to be a trillionaire. You might want a lot of things. But like if you don't want it enough, it doesn't matter. I think it's just more accepting that you're not going to have it cuz you're not willing to pay the price and that's fine. What is the price? >> want to be motivated. Yeah, I I want a six-pack. >> It's not that hard though. That's why I'm like

0:50>> Yeah. Um and everyone who's listening is like [ __ ] this guy. Um I don't know. I've counted my macros for 20 years, have you? Okay. Uh so, go away. >> [laughter] >> But I mean it's just calorie deficit. You know what I mean? It's just it's like there's tons of people in Africa who have six-packs. They just don't see it as a sign of status there. It's just everyone's everyone's skinny. You know what I mean? And so, six-pack is purely body fat percentage. That's it. It's just body fat percentage. It just means you eat too much. That's all. And six-pack plus being jacked is progressive overload, protein. I've seen one of your videos where you can sort of break break that down. And then to get to six-pack abs, you just sort of calorie deficit and while training broadly. Sli- I mean, truly that is it.

1:31And so, like I Hit every muscle group, do it three times a week, add weight or reps over the bar over a long period of time. That's all you have to do. And then eat less than you burn, do that for a long period of time, you'll gain muscle, you'll lose fat, and then you'll look up after 18 months and you'll have a six-pack. Like it's just that's it. Damn, when people are signing up to the weight loss programs or or like a gym program and stuff, presumably they know this. So, like is it that like the motivation gap, the accountability gap? Like what is it that is the the the quick secret sauce that makes someone lose the weight?

2:02>> to your to your point even of alternative education in general when you say, "Hey, you could learn this stuff on YouTube, etc., etc." The issue that we're solving for is not that it's not a knowledge gap. The issue is an accountability gap. Is that people don't do stuff. Like that is the primary issue with all humans in general is that they will not endure short-term discomfort for a long-term achievement. That is it. You hack that, you hack success. That's all it is. And so, it's just How can I How can I make it more inconvenient for them to not follow than to follow it?

2:30So, I can still lean into their humanity and just say, "How can I make it more uncomfortable for them to not follow it?" And that's an element of that is accountability. You set someone says, "Hey, bad boy, um you had a cookie when you shouldn't have. You feel bad. Feel bad. I'm punishing you." Cuz like the only way to change You only have two things you can do to change behavior, right? You can reinforce or you can threaten. You can punish. That's it. You have carrots and sticks. That is literally it. And so, currently they're getting reinforced by their, you know, by their current way of living.

2:58So, think about it this way. What is not having a six-pack do for you? It does something for you cuz you keep buying it. What does not having a six-pack do for me? >> Yeah, cuz you keep something else over a six-pack. So, what what does that do? >> the food the food just tastes too good and I know that I should Yeah. But it's probably not >> And I get a McDonald's drive-thru at like midnight and I know it's bad and like Yeah. >> Could be convenient. Convenience and then the story you wrap around like, "I'm an entrepreneur. I need to just do things on my own time, etc."

3:24Right? So, I think if you like it's unpacking those things of just trying to find your own [ __ ] and or if it if it it's meaningful for you. Cuz like I understand why it wouldn't be. I was on this podcast and I got an argument with the this the spokesperson who's like, "Don't you agree that every entrepreneur should be working every day?" And I was like, "No." And he It did not go the direction he was expecting. He looks at me and he's expecting me to say that. I'm like, "No." Like what are we solving for? If you just want to live a long time, then just walk. Walk and don't eat a lot. Like it's all you have to do. Like literally it. That's all you have to do if you want to live the longest amount possible. Like I am going to live a shorter amount of time cuz I have more muscle mass.

3:56I'm shortening my life by being how big I am. So it just depends on what's what problem we're solving. But given how you look now, you could you could look fit in 12 months. Like you could look like a person that people are like, oh wow, this guy works out. Cuz you don't have a baseline of fat that you really have. I mean you do, you have you have body fat, but like you're not you're not overweight. You're just you have your body composition is poor. Not poor, but you know what I'm saying?

4:23It's not it's not what you want. >> what you're thinking, yeah. Nice. So figure out what you want, uh find out what the price is, and just be willing to pay that price. And >> Yeah, or don't, which is also fine. I don't buy everything that I see on the shelf. If it were free, I'd want it. Right? Maybe if I were, you know, a hoarder of some sort, but like Like we like the thing that everybody has is we all have a wallet with the same dollars in it. We have $24, right? And so it's like everything has a ticket on it, and we're just choosing to spend that dollar whatever we want. Now, $8 we got to spend on sleep. Like, okay, well now I only have, you know, $16 left. I'm like, all right, well what does this cost? Well, this costs a dollar a day.

4:56It's pretty every day I'm committing to a dollar of my $12 or whatever my my $16. It's a big cost. Does it make sense? Coming back to the six-pack example again, like how much time, effort, do you how how how how many dollars do you pay each day to maintain the six-pack? Minimal. I have a passive income body now. Okay, fine. I already Yeah, this is this is passive dividends. I don't need to do much to maintain this. To get to here is much harder. To maintain here is easy. I mean, think about this. How much effort does it cost you right now to maintain your current body?

5:27>> Oh, zero. Absolutely zero. >> Right. That's how it really does not take Like unless you give your body a reason to eat muscle, it spent a lot of resources to to build it. Right? And so you can have minimal stimulation on a weekly basis to maintain contractile tissue. And provided you're eating sufficient protein, your body will take the protein it needs from your intake rather than its stores of protein, which is your muscle. I mean, if you watch the video, this it's like you just Oh, shoot. I got a pound a pound a day of meat or something, yeah. Yeah, [laughter] yeah.

5:57Real quick, if you're a business owner and you are not growing as fast as you'd like, I'd like to give you a free gift. So, my team and I put together the $100 million scaling road map, which is basically 200 hours of us looking over all the portfolio companies we've had and what stages of growth they went through and more importantly, where they got stuck and how they got past it. And so, we broke it into these 10 stages and we made this little kind of quiz thing where if you put in your business information, it'll tell you where you're at and the most important part for you, what to do for each of functions of the business across product, marketing, sales, customer success, recruiting, IT, human resources and finance. And so, no matter what you're struggling with, someone else has already struggled with it and solved it. And so, I'd like to give you this thing absolutely free. You can go to acquisition.com/roadmap, plug in your business information and if you want us to actually help you deconstruct the business and you're trying to scale, we'd love to help you out. On the thank you page, you can book a call with my team and we will look at the business, see if we can help and if we can, we'll invite you out to Vegas and we'll do this in person live.
