What I’ve learnt is that surrounding myself with positive supportive people and supporting them in turn, increases my motivation/knowledge and means I achieve my goals more easily/have more fun!
Aligned with this is learning not to share my goals with negative people and to regard the occasional encounter with jealousy as just another sign that I’m succeeding in getting a great life. :)
Thanks for all the free information/inspiration so far Joel and Co.

Awesome info,

Another thing that really helped me with my success in cutting up is my mindset

I watch the Secret 30 times over, and every time Im low on motivation.

Its ALL in your mind, and to your success. If you do not have the mind for it then nothing in life can be achieved.

Joel,

love the post man! between Vinces and your revelations for 2009 I think we got some seriously powerful stuff to really take in.

i especially love #42. everything starting to change when i started reading. theres so much good information out there, and it would be a mistake not to take advantage of it.

1 thing i really learned from 2009, from a business perspective, is speed of implementation. its great to learn, but movement is always better than meditation. (gary halbert)

Hey Joel,

Great post, I really enjoyed it!

Being a fellow internet fitness marketer, trainer, and passionate person about helping people…I really appreciate the mindset part of your post(s).
(I’m a newbie :))

It helps tremendously, and you’re right, the mental aspect is 10x more important than the physical.

I’m in Craig and Vinny’s 100k mastermind group, and look forward to meeting you and helping you grow your business.

Best,
Mike Smith

Awesome insights!

But I have a question about your high frequency solutions program.
Should I use the cywt system during it or eat more throughout the week? Also, how do the rest between sets work? As little rest as possible or atleist 30-45 seconds?

I learned that I can deal with anything as long as I can come home to my sweet husband at night.

I also learned that I do not do early morning church, or class, or anything that requires me to be out of bed before 9 am.

I discovered sushi this year too! Who knew anything with raw fish and sea weed could end up in my dreams? haha.

And best of all, I re-learned that God never leaves us alone.

Here’s to 2010 being the best year ever!

Love the post Joel especially number 4 and 20 (lol) Learned a lot this past year the biggest game changer for me is to believe in myself and have confidence. And just because you possess those qualities doesn’t mean that you’re arrogant. Big fear of mine….. Also, Fear is not only paralyzing, but a waste of energy!

I am more inspired by your comments every time I read them. Also, all of you who write in also help give me an extra push. I am just comming back after having had two auto accidents and because things are progressing slowly, it’s good for me to have all of you to help inspire me to keep going! My goal? To be in the best physical and mental shape in my life by age 50. That’s 2 years from now and you all help make this possible for me.

great list! i guess a big thing i learned was i always underestimate myself. i thought i couldn’t deadlift my body weight and here i am, doing it. =D

Some very powerful stuff here Joel. Then you add something a bit more light hearted to give us courage. I could not digest it all at one go so printed it out to highlight and absorb.

Thanks for your insights, enthusiasm and wisdom. They will all help to make 2010 an absolutely super year — the year it finally happens.

Best to everyone,
Joy
