Daily blog (audio): It's not different for me [Or for you]

<p>It's not different for me &nbsp;[Or for you]</p> <p><br> <br> We're on a mission to help one million people RISE by 2030 - join the movement at <a href="http://www.myrise.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.myrise.co.uk</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>From 2008 to 2010 I was an Area Manager for the company that ran the Personal Training brand for several major health club operators.</p> <p>I recruited Personal Trainers then coached and mentored them during their time in the various clubs in my region.</p> <p>It was my first experience of working with people doing the same thing but in different locations.</p> <p>One thing I noticed early on is that when I was going through things with a struggling PT, they’d often reply with “It’s different in Insert Name Of Town”.</p> <p>They’d explain what I was talking about might work in another location (usually one they deemed to be more affluent)…………</p> <p>But not there.</p> <p>It’s was nonsense, of course.</p> <p>They just weren’t doing what needed to be done to succeed.</p> <p>The “It’s different for me” card an easy one to play to protect their ego.</p> <p>But, again, I get it.</p> <p>I’ve been there.</p> <p>Heard from my coaches how to achieve some specific result.</p> <p>And, essentially, decided “It’s different for me”.</p> <p>And just not done the work.</p> <p>For every single challenge we may be facing……..</p> <p>Millions of others will have faced that same challenge…….</p> <p>And done the work that needs to be done……..</p> <p>To get the result we want to get.</p> <p>This isn’t to dismiss the challenges we might be facing completely.</p> <p>But to put them into context.</p> <p>They’re not insurmountable.</p> <p>We might need to tweak our approach to take them into account, sure.</p> <p>But that “It’s different for me” and “you don’t understand” mindset will hold as back as much as any.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Much love,</p> <p>Jon ‘and Miss Mary’ Hall</p>
