Welcome back to the Warrior School Podcast, Warrior Women! This is episode 298. We are on episode 12 of 14 in our countdown series, and we have three days to go. However, I’ve decided to pivot for episode 300. Instead of a live Q&A, I’m creating a "Best of 300" episode. I’ve spent the day revisiting our archives to pull out the most impactful moments from the past 300 episodes. It’s a huge task, but a meaningful one.

In this EP, I dive into an important discussion inspired by a conversation Gary Vee had about the significance of consistency, progress, and the necessity to pivot when things aren’t working. I encourage you to think about your health and fitness journey, assess the quality of your progress, and consider when it might be time to pivot to continue moving toward your goals effectively.

Episode Highlights:

  • Episode 300 Pivot: Instead of a live Q&A, we’re curating the best clips from the past 300 episodes. This process involves sifting through old episodes, transcribing them, and saving the best moments.
  • Inspired by Gary Vee: Reflecting on advice from Gary Vee about the importance of pivoting when progress stalls. Consistency is key, but so is recognising when a change is needed.
  • Reflection and Progress: Emphasising the importance of reflecting on your journey, measuring progress, and being open to making changes when necessary.
  • Consistency and Quality: Discussing how consistency doesn’t mean doing the same thing repeatedly if it’s not working. It’s about making quality progress and knowing when to pivot.
  • Building a Foundation: Encouraging listeners to reflect on their health and fitness journey. Have you been consistent? Are you seeing progress? If not, it might be time to pivot.
  • Conversations on Change: Sharing insights from a conversation with Carson about the need for significant lifestyle changes to achieve big health and fitness goals.

Key Takeaways:

  1. Pivoting is Essential: If you’re not seeing the progress you want, it’s time to pivot. Adjust your strategy, but don’t stop.
  2. Reflect on Your Journey: Regular reflection helps identify what’s working and what’s not. Use this to guide your next steps.
  3. Measure Quality Progress: Focus on the quality of your progress. Are you seeing improvements in your health and fitness? If not, consider a pivot.
  4. Consistency in Practice: Consistency is about showing up and putting in the work. It’s not about doing the same thing over and over without results.

Quotes:

  • "We need to focus on the quality of the progress that we’re making. If we’re not making progress, we need to pivot."
  • "In the initial parts of building a foundation, we need to be consistent. We’ve got to do the same thing over and over until we’ve built that foundation."
  • "Consistency is about showing up and putting in the work. It’s not about doing the same thing over and over without results."
  • "If we want big changes in our health and fitness, we have to change our whole life and mindset."
  • "Reflect on your journey, embrace the pivots, and focus on making quality progress."

Action Items:

  • Reflect on your health and fitness journey.
  • Identify areas where you need to pivot for better progress.
  • Stay consistent but be willing to adapt and change strategies as needed.
