By announcing these 23 things I’ve learnt in the 23 years in the Fitness Industry I made a public proclamation. Put a bit of pressure on myself. I’ve put some ‘skin in the game’. If I just decided to write the 23 and then only release them when they were finished I probably wouldn’t get there. The bit of pressure I’ve put on myself makes it way more likely I’ll get to 23 (and infinitely more likely that I’ll publish more than none). If what we set out to do doesn’t matter at any point other than the ‘end’, then it’s less likely to happen. Put some skin in the game along the way and it’s much more likely. – Announce your intention publicly. – Tell someone who you don’t want to let down. – Put some money on the line (maybe a reverse wager at www.stickk.com). – Arrange to meet a friend. – Only allow yourself to do that thing you enjoy when you’ve done the thing you’re putting off (and have the integrity to stick to that). Pressure gets a bad rep. It’s not to be avoided at all costs. We can tactically create some to help guid our actions and the results that are important to us. ‘Skin in the game’ makes it much more likely. Much love, Jon ‘Skunk Anansie’ Hall P.S. People sometimes ask I don’t offer a free trial like most vaguely similar places. There’s a few reasons. Firstly, I don’t need to – the programme has sold out every month for over a decade straight. But also when something is free, people don’t commit the same amount of time and effort into giving it a good go. I do offer a money back guarantee that people will love it, but putting some money down makes it was more likely that someone will actually give the trial a good go. www.myrise.co.uk/apply when you’re ready for that!
