In the book The Millionaire Next Door I learned something pretty shocking about millionaires. The author talked about the vehicle that most millionaires drive. Do you know what it is?
A Ford F-150
Not exactly what I was picturing, not sure about you. But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense.
We hear about the flashy millionaires who spend recklessly and drive a different luxury car every day of the week, but we rarely hear about the millionaire who quietly goes about his/her business. They just keep going to work, continue making money, and avoid throwing their money away on flashy things and get rich quick schemes.
It is very similar with the person who has a body you admire and would like to look like one day. Some of them may have achieved that with surgery or drugs, but the majority of people who are in great shape followed the old, boring F-150 model of getting in shape.
-Consistent exercise where you repeatedly challenge yourself
-Eating whole, natural foods in proper portion sizes
-Good quantity and quality of sleep
You could add in several other details and get really specific on each one, but that is how it is done for long term success. There is no chasing magic pills and potions. There is no crash dieting or working out 2 hours a day, every day.
Follow the plan, be consistent, be patient, and never stop trying to get better and something magic will happen. One day you will be where you want to be.
