A process must be become a routine.
I want you to think about something for a minute. Think about how you got to school today or how you got to work today. You woke up, brushed your teeth, had breakfast, got dressed, got in your car, and you went to work or school. We call those routines. It is also a process we follow to get there. You have to get dressed before you leave the house. It’s part of the process of just getting to work every day.
How do you get to the gym? You get in the car, you turn left, you turn right, you turn right, yes, it’s a process. Driving a car is a process! I think I’ve made the point that to do anything well, you need to follow a process.
Change—going from good to great, is the same thing. You must follow the process! It is a process and, as I mention often, it does not happen overnight. I often talk about the long run, and you must follow the process! You must be aware of where you are, you must accept where you are, you must take action, you must make adjustments, and you must be accountable!
Those are all important steps in the process to becoming great. It will not happen overnight, and there’s no secret formula! There is no secret pill! You want to lose weight? You must eat right and exercise. I repeat: eat right and exercise. That’s really all there is, but it is a process. You must follow the process!
It’s funny, when I was doing my talks on Instagram about losing weight, I remember getting all these ads about T-shirts that would cover your beer belly. However, it all still comes down to following the process. Do the work! I have not completely gotten rid of my belly yet, but I am still working on it. I am following the process. That is how you become great!
Okay, get out there, follow the process, and remember: be different and be great!
