turf

 

3 years ago I was sitting in a fitness conference in Louisville, KY when I heard my name being called. I had just won a giant roll of turf for my facility!

 

One problem. I didn't have a facility.

 

No plan to get a gym yet either, just an idea in my head what it would look like. In my mind's eye I could picture myself training people there. I could feel the vibe and atmosphere I wanted in there. I could even smell a touch of BO. Wait, scratch that one.

 

So I hung out with this giant roll of turf for 3 years. It lived in my son's playroom, it moved twice this summer when I moved twice this summer. It has been sitting all bundled up for 3 years.

 

Until this weekend, when it finally go put to use.

 

I never thought I would be excited about flooring. I finally understand how some people can get really fired up about new carpet or an area rug that really ties the room together.

 

My whole point for this story is this. No matter how far off, how ridiculous, how utterly unreachable your goals may seem never give up on them!

 

The details for what I wanted in a gym changed over the years, but I kept the core goal in mind. I wanted a place to train my 830am boot camp, Adventures in Fitness Kid's Camp (starting Jan 5th, shameless plug), my personal workouts I do with a small group, and small groups of athletes. And I wanted it at my house. What that space looked like changed, but the end goal never did.

 

If you don't have a BHAG, get one today. Your BHAG is your Big Hairy Audacious Goal. What is something borderline ridiculous that you want to accomplish?

 

A BHAG will stretch you, frustrate you, challenge you, and make you achieve more even if you don't get to the ultimate goal. Write down your BHAG today, look at it daily, picture what it will feel like when you accomplish it, and then start taking the steps you need to do to get there.

PS- Did your heart rate increase just thinking about your BHAG? You are on the right track.
