My New Favorite Show…

I’m not a fan of TV.  Especially reality TV.  But, there is one reality television show that I’ve gotten hooked on this year. It educates, motivates, and inspires.  It’s The Biggest Loser.  Have you seen it?

In the show, overweight contestants are teamed-up and get their butts kicked by their trainers to eat right and workout like their lives depend on it.  Each week they face various injuries, surprise challenges, and the possibility of being eliminated from the show based on what the scale says.

 

So why do I love it?  I love lessons that contestants learn and we can learn too.

 

Jillian Michaels (trainer) says it all the time.  You’ve got to show-up and give it your all, every workout, everyday.  There’s no time for for whining, self-doubt, hesitating or holding back because it could mean you are going home that week.  The contestants feel the pressure and they know that they can’t slack, take a day off, or even just go through the motions in their workout.  If they do, they run the risk of being eliminated.

 

What would it be like if you ran your business with the same kind of drive and urgency?  What if you knew that at the end of the week, your key measures would dictate whether or not you get to come back next week?  Would you make it?  What would you do have to do differently?

 

You don’t have to be on a reality television show to run your business like you mean it.  It’s time to step up and show up with your A game – not just sometimes, but every single day.  There isn’t a moment to spare – GO!
