Stop Using Motivation as Your Only Fuel

My best advice is to stop using motivation as your only fuel. I know it feels great when you’re fired up, but it’s a short-term fuel source. That’s why the vast majority of people who start anything - diet, fitness, new projects - don’t finish. They run out of gas.

The only lasting fuel is routine. And you only get a routine by dragging yourself on the days when you have no motivation. Over and over.

I know that’s not the answer anyone wants. I wish I had a magic pill for you. But the only thing that works long term is showing up for yourself even when you don’t want to. Brute force.

I’m slightly crazy and don’t have any investors or consultants to listen to, so I’m giving people 50 dollars of their 100 dollar annual subscription back when they show up for themselves and complete a full program in my app. If that motivates you to start, it’s designed to build your routine to keep you going like it has for thousands of other people, so join us: https://www.thepumpclub.com.
