Mastering One Skill Set To Unlocking Success and Personal Growth
Balancing a busy fitness coaching schedule with the growth of my business once seemed impossible until I learned the art of setting boundaries.

This episode of Unmasking Greatness dives into the unexpected challenges I faced and what it took to transform my gym office from a social hub into an epicenter of productivity. Discover why boundaries are not just a personal necessity but a cornerstone of business success, especially in a world that demands so much of our time and energy.
Ever found yourself saying yes out of guilt or obligation? Mastering the power of saying no is more than just a skill—it's a crucial component of achieving your life's goals. We peel back the layers of this often-difficult process, discussing tangible strategies like time blocking and prioritizing what truly matters. Say goodbye to distractions and hello to a life where your commitments are aligned with your aspirations.

Speaker 2:What's up guys, welcome to another episode of Unmasking Greatness. Hope you guys are having a great Monday. It must be great because you're listening to me right now and hopefully I'll be able to communicate well. If you guys didn't notice, I missed last episode. I ended up finding out I had walking pneumonia. That's always a fun topic to go over because you basically are hacking along, can't breathe, feel like crap, fever, the whole thing. It was way more intense than I was expecting, especially coming from someone that's working out all the time taking my vitamins, drinking water. It just happens. It's a little setback. But there you go, there's one for you. So I'm going to try to pace myself while I'm talking in this episode. So, with that being said, so I want to start this episode with a conversation that I had earlier this week with a business owner who is really doing very well in his business, to be honest, very successful and we have a lot of conversations, you know, obviously in our coaching program, with individuals where they're struggling, and sometimes that struggle is not just the nutrition and the working out part. Right, and he is already working out. The nutrition could be tweaked, for sure, but it's more of a lifestyle specific topic that we got into and I really could resonate with what he was saying, because these were some of the conflicts that I was having when I was starting my business. And you don't realize it at first because, again, you're willing to do whatever it takes to get your business off the ground and sometimes those actions can actually start setting you backwards. So I'm gonna take you back with me, okay, back to 2020, when I was doing a hybrid model. I was doing in-person training and I was doing online coaching, and through that process, you know, I was learning a lot. You know, this is the first time Did I know how to coach people? Sure, but the business side of things was new to me, and so, as I started accumulating more clients, getting busier in the gym with in-person clients, I found myself that I was there all day. So, basically, I was at the gym from seven in the morning, or that's when my first session started and I didn't leave till about seven at night. And I did that Monday through Friday, and I left a little gap, about a two hour gap, in the middle of the day for me to train. And I had this concept going in because back then I wasn't making a ton of money and I didn't have a lot of clients. So I told my wife at the time I was like I have no idea where this is going. Clients so I told my wife at the time I was like I have no idea where this is going, but I have to leave my schedule open to be able to accommodate for whoever wants in-person training so we can actually provide a life. You know. So with that, I was accumulating clients and I was like, well, I'm busy, I'm just going to stay at the gym all day. There's no point in me even leaving. So I left that gap, remember, like I said, for me to work out. And then I also left our gap for me to work on online clients or projects or anything that I needed to do specifically for the business.
Speaker 2:Now, if you've ever been in some sort of profession where there's a lot of people around co-workers or friends or, you know, gym goers especially conversations happen all the time. You know I would talk to everybody. It was part of my job, but also like enjoyed, you know, just mingling and chatting and joking around in the gym. And so halfway through 2020, I, you know, asked the gym owner. I was like listen, you have this little room in the back. Would you mind if I use that for an office for the time being until you figure out what you want to do with it. And he was nice enough to say sure, go ahead, go back there. So I set up this whole office space back there and I was like great, this is perfect. I'll train clients in the morning, I'll work out, I'll go back here for an hour, I'll knock out some work, pick up clients afterwards.
Speaker 2:And what started to happen? And keep in mind, this office was in the back of the gym. Now it was near, like the locker room, slash bathrooms. So I was back in the back of the gym and I was like, okay, I'm going to be back here, I can work. Well, what I slowly realized that was good intention, that everybody that would come into the gym knew I was back there. So they would come back in the office and we would just talk. I mean, it was just and I'm a talker in at nature so we would have, you know, a conversation. Next thing, I know hours gone and I'm like, oh well, I didn't get anything done, so I'd go start training clients.
Speaker 2:I did that for quite some time, I'd say probably a couple of weeks, and I realized what I was doing to myself. I was sabotaging my business by being nice and talking to people, and so I quickly realized I was like something has to change because I'm not actually moving the needle forward for the business. I'm here just chit-chatting away about nothing, which is like, again, I like talking to people, but if I have goals, if I have a vision that I need to work towards, and I don't have a lot of time, I need to optimize the time that I do have, and so I had to set some boundaries for myself, and I ended up putting a sign on the door that said I was in a meeting and I would close the door Whether I was in a meeting or not. The door was shut and I was hoping that would be the case, that nobody would, you know, come into the office while I'm working. Well, what do you think happened? Somebody would come. They would put their ear against the door here I wasn't talking to anybody knock on the door and come in, and I was like, man, all right, we're going to go another level of, you know, trying to be professional about this.
Speaker 2:And I ended up having to tell these people that would come in like, hey, listen, um, I'm. I'm in the middle of working on something. I can't talk right now, but I'll be out there in about an hour. If you're still here, I'm more than happy to chat with you then. And they respected that. They respected that, you know.
Speaker 2:And so that was my way of optimizing that time during then to start setting some very clear expectations up front of what my communication is like, when you can contact me, when you can call me, when you can text me, because if you leave it wide open and you don't tell people, of course they're going to message you whenever they feel like, which, if that's what you told them, it could be 8, 9, 10, 12 o'clock at night. I mean, if you said I'm available anytime, well, that's up for interpretation. And so now I tell all of my clients listen, I'm up, I'm an early riser. 5 am. I'm up. Okay, you can message me at 5 am if you want, I'm up.
Speaker 2:But when eight o'clock hits, if you send me a message past eight o'clock, I will not be messaging you at eight o'clock hits. If you send me a message past 8 o'clock, I will not be messaging you at 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock at night, I will message you first thing in the morning and so, saying that up front, they respect that, they know I have a family, they know I have a business, they know I need to sleep. And so when you set those expectations up front, then everybody's on the same page. And so I'm going to come back to me having this conversation with the individual. He is there, he's like these people pay me a lot of money and so if they message me at 10 pm at night, I have to respond and I'm like what can you possibly do at 10 pm for them? That is not an emergency, you know, it's nothing that is going to stop your business. They're not going to, you're not going to lose business. But again, you have to set those expectations, you have to set those boundaries for yourself so everybody's on the same page and you can continue working on your business.
Speaker 2:And you need sleep, you need to get your rest. How can you possibly go all through the night messaging people, not sleeping at all, and then you're going to provide a good service, exhausted, fatigued, you know, mentally drained the next day and rinse and repeat that? Of course not. You may be able to do that in the beginning and just kind of grind through, but the more you grind you turn into powder, okay, and we want to keep you solid.
Speaker 2:So this is where we had a deeper conversation and he's like listen, you know I am, I have a team, I have people that you know, a family, and everybody comes to me for everything, and I don't have anybody holding me to a higher standard. I have people that you know, a family, and everybody comes to me for everything, and I don't have anybody holding me to a higher standard. I don't have anybody holding me accountable, making sure that I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, to show up as a better leader, a better husband, a better you know father. You know nobody is is holding me to that standard and holding me accountable, and I was like I get it dude. This is why I am such an advocate for having somebody in your corner, especially when you're at a high level like that. I and to be honest with you guys, I have a fitness coach, I have a business mentor that you know I pay and it's worth it to me because I can see the strives that I'm making forward that I would probably otherwise just kind of brush under the rug. You know, if I wasn't doing something like ah, get to it later, versus like I have to answer to somebody, I'd be embarrassed if I don't do what I said. I was going to be doing so with that. You know, that's where this conversation started to drive from, and then I started having these thoughts.
Speaker 2:Right, because a lot of you guys struggle with these sort of concepts, and it may not be necessarily business, but it could be in just everyday life, and so the topic I really want to tell you guys and talk about today is a skill set. It is something that you guys are going to have to work on, you're going to have to put into practice, and it is by far probably one of the hardest skills to learn, especially if you are a people pleaser, if you like putting others first, if you are always putting yourself on the back burner. This one skill set can change everything for you, but it will be the hardest skill set for you to learn, and that skill set is harnessing the word no, learning to say no and understand where that's coming from. Right, and I know it sounds counterintuitive. You know, the world that we live in is always pushing us to be available, okay, and we want to be available for everybody. We don't want to tell them no, and if we do, it starts to feel very uncomfortable to us. But here's the thing no is a powerful tool, especially when it comes to reaching your fitness, nutrition and lifestyle goals. It's not about shutting people out. It's about making room for what's truly important to you, and this is why you need to make sure you understand, like what is the goal? What are you trying to accomplish?
Speaker 2:I knew when I was working in that office, there was things that I was doing to move this needle forward, move my business forward, to get to a level that I wanted to get to. And if I continue to let people just walk in the office and just chit chat with me, well, sure, I'm being nice, sure, I'm having a conversation with that day, but I would never be any further than that. That would be pretty much baseline for me and that's unacceptable unacceptable for me. I didn't want that. That wasn't in my vision, and so I had to again learn to say no, slowly, and it was hard because I was like I don't want them to be mad at me, I don't want them to be upset, I don't want them to think that I'm an asshole, you know. But again, with with you setting those expectations and letting them know what's going on, I think there is a way for you to be able to communicate that, for them to respect it. And if they don't respect it, then they don't respect you. And that, I feel like, is a frame that I had to shift and look at a different lens, and I was like, if they don't respect my time, they don't respect me and they're not someone I want to communicate with, and so when you start to change the frame like that, then things become a little bit easier to say no. And so I want to go through four ways for you guys to really, or four reasons why you guys should be saying no.
Speaker 2:Okay, and training yourself to say no. So the first one you know we need to train ourselves to say no to distractions, because in the world we live today, there are an infinite amount of distractions. A matter of fact, there are people in this world that create tools and apps for us to be distracted, and if you think you're going to outsmart them, you are going to be mistakenly wrong. They have spent years and millions of dollars to create this craft to keep your attention. So how are you going to control yourself?
Speaker 2:Well, first off, you. You got to have some goals. You need to think about what your fitness, health goals, business goals are, and whether you're trying to. You know whether you're trying to eat or train harder or just prioritize your well-being. You know, we got to realize what are those distractions, what are those things that are holding us back. And how many times have you planned to go to the gym and just got derailed the last minute because, you know, friends were trying to invite you out or maybe family was reaching out to just kind of see what you were doing? You know, and asking you to come, come over, hang out with us. We haven't seen you in a while.
Speaker 2:You know it's really easy to just say yes and push your goals aside for others' conveniences Okay. But every time you say yes to something that isn't aligned with your prioritize is a no to your progress. So when you say no, you're actually saying yes to your goals, and so it could be as simple as saying no to Netflix. Okay, you watch one episode doesn't mean you have to binge watch five. Say no to the other four. Tiktok, instagram are you just scrolling. These are these apps that these people have created to keep you screen sucking.
Speaker 2:You got to learn to set a boundary for yourself. It's okay to jump on Maybe it's part of your work but get off, don't just be consuming content for no reason. Okay, answering random phone calls this is like people just walking into my office, like I was talking about. It's okay, I don't answer every phone call that comes in. It'll go to voice note or they'll text me and I'll get back to them when I can. Okay, you don't have to drop everything just for someone else and if it's an emergency, you'll find out and then you can handle it that time. But I can promise the majority of the time, I would even say 95% of the time, it is not an emergency. It can wait 30 minutes an hour, you know two, three hours later.
Speaker 2:Okay, so number two no, helps you prioritize what is important. Okay, we only have 24 hours in the day and, trust me, it's not about how much time we have, it's how we spend it. I always tell people I can't create more time for you. Right, we can't create more time, but I can optimize your time because I promise you, if we get digging in there and we start looking at what time you wake up, what time you go to sleep, what time you're at work and start to time block your days, your weeks. Oh, we're going to find some gaps, I guarantee it. We do every single time. We do this all the time with our clients and we start to see where they're spending their time.
Speaker 2:You want to have a hard hit to reality. Open up your phone right now and see how much screen time that you're spending and tell me you don't have time to prioritize your health, to go to the gym, you know, to work on your business or whatever you need to be doing to move that needle forward. Tell me, I promise you, most of you guys are spending way more time scrolling on your phone than you even realize, unintentionally. Again, there's people out there that created these apps unintentionally. Again, there's people out there that created these apps. So, saying no helps you carve out the time what truly matters to you? So it could be for you to meal prep. Maybe it's for you to get an extra hour of sleep. You know hitting the gym without distractions.
Speaker 2:When you say no to the things that don't align with your goals, you're freeing up the time to prioritize the things that will move you forward. We got to learn how to prioritize things and you can delegate right At certain levels of your lifestyle, of your business. Whatever you're doing, you can start to delegate things that is maybe not as urgent and important to you. Okay, we have a training in our program called the Eisenhower prioritization matrix. Okay, if you're interested in that, shoot me a DM, I'll send you. I'll send you a screenshot of what that looks like.
Speaker 2:But again, it's a four quadrant to see what's actually important and urgent and what's something that we can just delegate or disregard completely. You know, there's different things that we can start to choose and one of like the simple, simple ones that I like to say is listen, I have a yard. Most of you guys have a yard in your house front yard, backyard, side yard, whatever you got going on. Grass grows there. I'm not cutting my grass straight up. I'm telling you it's not therapy for me. I don't want to and honestly, it would cost me more time, more money to cut it myself versus pay someone to just cut my grass. So I delegate that task to somebody else and I can spend that time on doing what's actually really important, whether it's my business spending time with my family, whatever it is. You know in that current day I'm not cutting grass. So find those little things that you could delegate to someone else, especially if you have employees. Get people to do the little minute tasks and you can follow up with them. All right.
Speaker 2:Number three saying no saves your energy. Well, that makes sense, right? Saying no saves your energy. Every time you say yes to something unnecessary, you're draining your energy. And let's face it maintaining a fitness routine, eating right and living healthy lifestyles all take mental and physical energy. If your energy is being spent on activities, people or tasks that aren't helping you get closer to where you want to be, you're robbing yourself of fuel. You need to make progress. Period, Again. Everything that we do day to day takes effort, takes energy. How can we optimize that time, optimize our energy?
Speaker 2:Especially and again this goes back to having conversations with individuals Are you having important conversations or are they just mindless conversations? Or are you listening to someone complain about their life? That is draining. When you have to sit down and listen to someone complain about everything that they're going through, no solutions, just let me vent. It can be very draining to your energy. It brings your mood down. We call those energy vampires. It just sucks the life out of you.
Speaker 2:When people come in the room because you know that's what they're going to be talking about, it's never hey, this is what I'm doing, hey, I'm working on this goal it's like, oh man, I can't. Just, I have no energy. I have no time to get any of my things done. I'm struggling in my personal life. You know my husband, my wife thinks I'm lazy. You know, whatever conversation it may be, you know that that conversation is coming and you don't have time for it. You have goals, you have a vision, you have a purpose.
Speaker 2:If you're listening to this, I know you're resonating with what I'm saying and you probably know somebody like that, and so you have to again harness that word no. How can you tell somebody no and do it in the right way, without being mean, right or feeling like it's mean? Well, again, it goes back to that. Looking at it from a different lens, you know, are these people helping you or are they hurting you long term with these conversations? You know which leads straight into the fourth one.
Speaker 2:This is a hard challenge. It's hard enough to say no, but saying no to loved ones super difficult, and I have personally gone through this myself multiple times. You will get to a point. If you and maybe listen to me, if you guys are here and you are struggling with this, saying no to loved ones, maybe it's your parents, your brothers, your cousins, your sisters or whoever you know close individuals to you and you're having a hard time saying no to them, individuals to you, and you're having a hard time saying no to them. You're going to get to a point where you're going to be forced to say no and that's when that pinnacle is going to start to shift, because it is so hard to say no to the ones that you actually care about and you love. But at some point, if you start to feel like it is an anchor, it is a weight, it is drowning you, you're going to want to fight back for yourself.
Speaker 2:There's there's a I heard someone say this about Navy SEALs. When, let's say, they have to go save somebody in the ocean, they're drowning, right, and you know when people drown, they're panicking, they're freaking out, they don't know where they're at, they don't know when their next breath is and they're just fighting. They're fighting to get that breath of air and they are taught to knock out the individual drowning to save them, because if they don't do that, then they're going to drown with them. Because you're fighting someone that's fighting you and you're trying to save them. And I see a lot of correlation with that is we're trying to help people that's fighting you and you're trying to save them. And I see a lot of correlation with that is we're trying to help people that are are fighting us, that it can pull us down and at some point we have to put a stop to that or we're going to go down too.
Speaker 2:And so you know I know it's it's easy to say no to the things like junk food or skipping a workout, but you know, saying no to your friends, family or even your parents, it's insanely hard and there's often guilt or fear that they don't understand. You know they're from a different generation, especially if you're talking about your parents. So here's the truth If they truly love you, they will support your decisions to prioritize your health and your goals. They may not understand it at first, but no isn't rejection of them. It's an affirmation of what's important to you, and that's something I can truly attest to with a lot of things that I've done in my life.
Speaker 2:My parents may not have understood the direction I was going, the decisions I was making, until they started seeing the fruit to that labor, right, until they started seeing some success from the decisions that I was making. And then it was like, oh, I get it now. And so you have to be very confident in the decisions that you're making because ultimately you have to live with those decisions, and anytime I made a difficult decision like that, I gave myself the non-negotiable that it had to work. There was no plan B, because I was not willing to let myself look like a failure, to let myself look like I was wrong and I will admit if I was wrong, that's part of owning up to it but I was going to do whatever it takes to get the outcome that I wanted originally. You know. So you know. I just want to be clear with saying you know.
Speaker 2:No doesn't mean you have to isolate yourself or be selfish. It means being intentional with your time and your energy. It means putting your long-term success above short-term obligations. When you set boundaries, you give yourself space to thrive, to grow and to truly commit to your goals. And the best part, the very best part is, over time, the people who care about you will understand and even respect your decisions, and I have been able to see that, and I know some of you may even already be seeing that. You know you made a difficult decision that maybe someone didn't agree with or didn't understand, and now that you are excelling, they're starting to pull back a little bit and be like huh, maybe they were right, maybe I was wrong.
Speaker 2:Whether they said it or not, your actions will prove. You don't have to say anything to these people. You don't have to justify your actions, justify why you're doing what you're doing. Your actions will do that for you. I don't have to say anything. My actions will justify that. So I hope that's helpful. I do want to leave you guys with some real quick, practical takeaways, okay, some simple tasks to be able to put these kind of things in action, okay. So I have four takeaways for you guys. The first one get clear on your goals. Be clear on what you're working towards. The more clear your goals, the easier it is to say no to the things that don't align.
Speaker 2:Number two practice saying no in low-stakes situations. Start small, maybe. Say no to an extra drink or that last-minute invitation. You know you need to rest. I joke about this all the time with my wife but I said you know that FOMO is going to put you in the grave one day, but it's just a little joke between us. But if you guys don't know what FOMO is, it's fear of missing out, like God forbid. You tell somebody you can't go have lunch with them, you can't go to a party, a wedding, a quince or whatever you got to show up to all of them. And so for me I think it's important to you have to pick and choose. You can't do everything, especially when you know, with my wife's family we have a massive family, so it feels like there's a party almost every other weekend. Yeah, imagine trying to run that one back to back all the time. So again, practice saying no to the little ones and it'll build and compound your confidence moving forward.
Speaker 2:And number three, explain your why. When it's a close friend or family member, be honest about why you're saying no. If they care, they'll understand Again. You don't have to just come straight out and just say, no, no, I can't answer your phone call. No, I can't go out with you, you know. Give them the reason why you're saying no, you know, hey, so-and-so. Listen, I really want to go out and have a drink and dinner with you guys, but I have this health and fitness goal that I'm really adamant about, something I'm working really hard for. I invested into a coach and I just I have to do this. This is something that means a ton to me and it's going to change the quality of my life. So I hope you understand. And when you communicate it that way, that's very different than just saying hey, no, I don't want to hang out with you. You see the difference. So it's okay to justify and explain yourself a little bit. Now, if they don't, they think that's dumb. That's fine, maybe. Maybe they're not a good friend. I don't know what to tell you, but at the end of the day, you're making the best decision for yourself and that's all that matters.
Speaker 2:Lastly, number four recognize your progress. Every time you say no to something that doesn't serve, you recognize that you're moving closer to your goals. Do not dismiss the small wins. We overlook that all the time. I see it with our clients all the time because we're so hyper-focused on where we're struggling. We're so hyper-focused on the long-term goal, but we don't focus on what's happening in the moment. What are those micro decisions? That is inevitably going to be setting the foundations for you to be successful long-term, and that's what we want to bring more awareness to.
Speaker 2:Maybe it was saying no to an extra cookie. It sounds so simple, so dumb, but that is setting that's one more brick to the foundation that you're trying to build that empire. You know. Maybe it is saying no, maybe it's a little more difficult. Maybe it's saying no to going to a party. Okay, maybe it's a little different. You know people are going to miss you. It's okay. They're not going to stop talking to you forever. You know they're still going to do their thing and you're going to do yours. So you got to recognize the little decisions that you're making. That's moving the needle forward for you and reaching your goals.
Speaker 2:So I hope this resonated with some of you guys. I hope you take this in and if you are struggling, if you are a people, pleaser, think about this. If you start saying no and you start getting better results for yourself, you start increasing the quality of your life, whether it's your health, your fitness, your mental state, your business. Just imagine how much better you could show up for everybody else. Imagine how much better you could show up for everybody else, showing up as a leader, as a champion, someone they look up to versus you struggling, trying to help people. They see that you have good intentions but you're not strong enough to be able to help everybody like you want to. But if you optimize yourself, get yourself in an optimal position now, you can serve others at a much higher level. Change the frame, change the context, change the way that you're saying things and everything will change. So I hope that's helpful.

Speaker 2:I'm telling you guys, if you've been on the guys, if you've been on the fence, if you've been thinking about working with us, this is going to be the best time to sign up with us. Not only are we going to help you get through the holiday seasons still be eating your favorite treats but you're going to be able to reach your goals and you're going to be way ahead of everybody else January 1st. The stats prove this those that start before January 1st have an insane percentage of success over those that wait. Do not wait. I promise you this will change everything. You're going to be ahead of the game and this is the best time.
Speaker 2:Again, if you've been on the fence and you and again, if you're trying to see if we're a good fit, just shoot me a message. Let's see if you're a good fit for the program, because we don't want you to come in if you don't think this is going to help you or you're going to benefit. But I got a feeling. If you're listening to my episodes, if you're listening to the podcast, a small piece of you is resonating with a lot of the things that I'm saying, because I'm just like you. I've struggled with just about everything that you can imagine, and I have overcome a lot and I continue to overcome a lot, and if I can carve that path to help you avoid all the potholes that I hit, that'd be my true blessing to you. So again, keep a lookout for that November 3rd. If you want to know about it ahead of time, just shoot me a DM. All right, I hope you have a good rest of the day. I'm out, see y'all.
