How to Live the Good Life

mindset Apr 25, 2024

Some time ago, I went to a baseball game with my buddy Ulysses (not his real name).

He's super successful in almost every area, except his personal health.

You may even know someone like this.

He owns a $10,000 Rolex watch, drives a $90,000 Land Rover SUV, and enjoys luxury vacations at his multi-million-dollar oceanfront property.

Ulysses is the "funny fat guy," eternally making jokes about his big belly and "extra" weight.

Unfortunately, he's been diagnosed with pre-diabetes and something called fatty liver disease.

In so many ways he lives what most consider "the good life," but is a pauper when it comes to his health.

Just for fun, I decided to keep track of how much money he spent during the day.

(No, not in a notebook... in my head.)

Here’s what I got:

A tank of gas to get to the game: $120
The game ticket itself: $65
A stop at Starbucks for a caramel frappuccino: $5
Boardwalk fries: $12
One diet soda: $5
One craft beer: $8
One t-shirt: $25

So far, that’s $240 gone.

Of course we all burn through small amounts of money every day, maybe multiple times per day, and never even think about it.

Now my friend is in the financial-advising business, which makes this story especially ironic.

Good news is Ulysses' health issues are reversible with a few healthy lifestyle changes including:

Lose weight
Choose a healthy diet
Exercise and be more active
Control your diabetes (see above)
Lower your cholesterol
Protect your liver (reduce alcohol intake)

Being highly intelligent, Ulysses knows this already; however, he has decided that his health is not a priority right now.

I think it's so unfortunate when financial advisors (and other professionals) have any hesitation whatsoever toward an investment in their health and wellness.

In fact, our Virtual Fitness-and-Nutrition Coaching program breaks down to about $14.14 per day.

And I offer a money-back guarantee, removing all risk.

Your health and happiness is worth at least $14.14 per day, right?

Particularly when so many people are counting on you.

The money you hand over to the Starbucks barista is gone forever.

On the other hand, the money you invest in yourself multiplies.

How can you hesitate?

My friend "spent" $240 for a few hours at a baseball game.

And complained about how bloated and sluggish he felt afterwards.

Now imagine if he invested that money to lose weight, get strong, and slow aging.

When people join my fitness-and-nutrition coaching group, they generally stay members for a long time.

That's because they continue to reap the rewards on a daily basis.

And here’s the hard-to-swallow truth.

Respectfully speaking, if you can’t wrangle up $14.14 per day, to be the leanest, strongest, and happiest version of you, perhaps you should rethink your priorities.

Yes, yes, I know that you can google "free workout" or "healthy nutrition" and land on a million free sites.

Heck, you can use Artificial Intelligence to give you medical advice nowadays.

But how's that working for you?

If things are going great, keep it up.

If you're not very happy with how you look and feel, today is the day to do something about it.

Quit waiting for perfect to happen and just get started.

Remember insanity is defined as doing the same thing yet expecting different results.

Say "yes" to the thought of investing in your health right now.

Because when you pay, you pay attention.

If you don’t invest in your health, other areas of your life will begin to suffer.

Just admit that, if you want to improve, you need to take ownership.

And, by admitting this to yourself, you will begin making better long-term decisions.

Are you over the age of 40, with a ton of stress and other grown up responsibilities?

And are you ready to finally lose weight and inches, have less bodily pain, and feel happier?

If yes, go here and invest in yourself.

Either way, have a great day.

To your success,
