What works for others doesn't mean it will work for you

In my line of business, my expertise range from being a Fitness Expert and a Mindset Coach.

I chose these 2 as I know only too well, the results it can have on an individual from my own experience. From being obese to, changing my mindset from of that of a pessimistic bitch that I once was, and swapping it to a more positive action taker.

I knew in my heart I was meant to fulfil these rolls and from my own experience I knew only too well the powerful effects of having a balance body & mind can have on an individual.

Fast forward, during my journey when I first started out my business I remember being preached to and told to do this and that to get clients.

I had other trainers trying to educate me by stating I should not be advising my clients to eat any carbs, and only to eat proteins. Seriously ??carbs after all is your first energy system.

Did I listen?

Fuck No, luckily I got busy and learned along the way what was best for my business and worked for me and with it, I mastered training clients according to their body types topped with honesty which took me a long way that I didn't even have to advertise as word of mouth got out of my method and that it was designed to educate my clients and keep them in shape for the long run.

Before I was educated of the do's and don'ts in living a healthy life and keeping in shape, I listened to others whom tried out various fad-diets and thought it would work for me. After trying out numerous diets, fad-diets I was going forward a step only to go backwards several steps and this was all my fault because I was listening to other peoples bullshit.

I tried everything from; Herbalife, slimmers world, only eating one meal a-day are just some of the fad diets to mention but, the embarrassing one, eating charcoal, I know what your thinking and I am actually cringing writing this-check my article published in 'The Mirror' if you think I am joking: ???? https://tinyurl.com/mdzppbv8

Just like Frank Sinatra once sang the famous song, 'I did it my way', that's when I started to get visible results from simply eating healthy, exercising regularly and at the same time I began building my confidence when I was making decisions.

Don't get me wrong, it's great to listen to other peoples advice but it doesn't mean it is of benefit to you.

If you ask for advice that's different as you are seeing what options you have in order to make up your own mind to what option you will take to best suit you.

Unfortunately, in today's society there are too many Indians and not enough Chiefs who want to tell everyone else how to run their lives yet, cant even sort their own shit out.

If it isn't the latest fitness craze to getting quick results, your DM on LinkedIn are in-dated with messages beginning with;

'Hey Helena, I noticed you're a Mindset Coach and Fitness Expert I can see you are on top with your game. I can scale you X- amount of clients and oh yeah your website needs this and that'.

Hold on a moment, you just stated you can see I am on top of my game, so if that is the case what makes you think I need more clients, then again what part of my profile states I need more clients, I simply rest my case.

When you understand your true needs you and only you will know what is best suited for you.

You will listen but not necessarily take that advice onboard as you know it is not for you. The more you realise this, the more inclined you are to have faith in yourself, your decisions and make the appropriate actions that are best suited for you.

Next time you assume what is working for someone else will work for, question yourself to how this will benefit you.

Even better get into a habit where you can think outside of the box as you could actually surprise yourself with a better result than the person preaching to you, let that sink in!
