Six steps to success

MIKE SMITH • November 29, 2023

1. Define Your “Why”

Before you start, take time to understand why you’re doing this. Your “why” is the internal drive that keeps you going when motivation fades.


Is it to feel stronger? Improve your health? Set a better example for your family?
Write it down. Revisit it often. Let it guide your actions.

2. Set Clear, Measurable Goals

Vague goals lead to vague results. Instead of “I want to get fit,” say, “I want to work out 3 times a week and lose 10 pounds in 8 weeks.”
Clear goals give you a target—and they make progress trackable and rewarding.


3. Create a Realistic Plan

Now that you know where you're going, map out how you'll get there.
Will you train with a coach? Join group classes? Meal prep on Sundays?
A structured plan prevents overwhelm and turns goals into doable actions.


4. Take Action—Consistently

Consistency beats intensity. You don’t need to be perfect; you just need to show up.

Small, daily actions—done over time—build the foundation of success.
Commit to progress, not perfection.

5. Track and Adjust

What gets measured gets managed. Track your workouts, meals, sleep, or mindset—whatever aligns with your goals.
Check in weekly. Celebrate wins. Tweak what’s not working. Flexibility is part of the process.


6. Stay Accountable and Inspired

Surround yourself with support. A coach, community, or workout buddy can help you stay committed.
When challenges come (and they will), connection and encouragement can help you push through.


Final Thought: Your Success Is Within Reach

Success isn’t reserved for a lucky few—it’s available to anyone who’s willing to take the steps. You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to begin.



Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
