Sometimes you have to slow down in order to speed up - Behind The Pod

“Sometimes you have to slow down in order to speed up.”

This was Dave Wood’s last text message to me after I recently updated him on my first trip back into the 120kg club after starting the year at 155.8kg.

In April I made the choice to attend his Calm Under Pressure Workshop, it was a decision two years in the making but something that came at the right time for me to introduce some deliberate actions into my life.

A personal element of the attending the workshop was around accountability, I’ve gone public about wanting to hit a goal of 100kg by Christmas 2024, and with that comes pressure but also support.

I was feeling a bit frustrated that my weight loss seemed to be plateauing, but on reflection it was exactly the message I needed to receive.

What Dave was trying to tell me was that if I focus on the process and not the outcome then the results will come.

As I move towards 100kg, I feel healthier, more energetic, and incredibly proud of my progress.

I will be striving to hit that mark, but the bigger picture for me has been the power of taking small, very deliberate and manageable steps that is helping me build lasting habits.

It’s the same with the business we’re building.

When we made the decision to go all in, there were so many opportunities presented to us and the temptation was to chase them all and do them all at once.

In other words our desire to go full-time, was the thing that stopped us going full-time.

But with some careful guidance the bigger picture here is to slow down, get really deliberate about our next steps, and accelerate our growth in the future.

Take this as your reminder to slow down and focus on the process, not the outcome.
