- Read 10 Pager per Day – From a non-fiction self help book or business book
- Take a Progress Picture Every Day – So you can see the progress at the end
My Why:
I started this program because I wanted something to give me the grit, mental toughness, and physical harness I use to have. I was U.S. Marine and could outlast, out do, out pull, out run, and just flat out out do almost every person out there.
Boot camp in 1998 started that process and got me moving. Then September 11th happened and made me focus on all of the things. In 2002 I was assigned to an anti-terrorism unit with a huge training budget and lots of time for training. I grew better, harder, and tougher mentally and physically.
After that I spent time in Iraq in combat in 2003, after that life got easy. And I made it easier for my self. I didn’t do the work to keep in shape and I quit doing hard things. I did the minimum amount to stay in the Marine Corps for another 5 years. Then I got out and started doing less and less for the last 15 years.
Now with Andy and his 75 Hard program I have found something that will push my mental toughness back to where it should be and help jump start my physical fitness.
I’m all in, and this is my journey through the program.
