Congratulations, we’re now into week 3 of our 52 week Core Conditioning Program Accountability Challenge. How did you make out in week 2?
I encourage you to take 10 minutes to review your Progress over the past week.
- What is the goal(s) that I am committed to achieving over the next 52 weeks?
- What did I say I was going to do this past week?
- What did I actually do?
- How do I feel about it?
Briefly describe your victories or challenges from the past week. If you made progress, now is the time to give yourself a big pat on the back. If you didn’t make any progress, don’t beat yourself up about it, but be honest in describing the Resistance that got in the way. Recommit to your goal, and move forward. FIDO (Forget it, drive on).
Week 3 Challenge:
- List Your 10 Year Victories:
Special thanks to my friend Stephen Wenzel for being the inspiration for the 1st challenge. Often when we set goals we focus on the things that we want to happen in our lives (in the future) and we forget to take stock of, or appreciate the things that we have already accomplished-our Victories.
- Take ten minutes to list out all of wonderful accomplishments, milestones, or events that you have experienced over the last 10 years:
- The birth of a child, or two, getting married, completing a 5km run, losing 20 pounds, buying your first home, donating to your favourite worthy cause (even if it is yourself) etc. etc.
- Experiencing and sharing the things that we are grateful for or appreciative of, is one of the most powerful, and positive and energizing experiences that we can choose to do in our lives. Quite frankly we don’t do enough of it. I know I don’t. Do You
What is the WORK that your Goals are asking you to do to achieve them. Think objectively of what it will take for you to achieve the goal(s) that you list as being most important to you this year. What is your PLAN?Write out everything you can think of-short, bullet points are fine. Compare this question to the one that most people ask themselves, which is; What is the work that I want to do to achieve my goal? Did you notice the difference?
- 24 Hour Action Step; Why wait 48 hours? What one action will you commit to taking within the next 24 hours that will move you one step closer to your goal? Take that Step.
Keep your Core Strong!

I trust you had a great first week on your 52 week Accountability journey.
Before we dive into this week’s challenges I want you to take a few moments to review your progress from last week.
It will be very helpful if you set aside 10 minutes each week-Sunday night is a great time to do it, or even first thing Monday morning to ask yourself the following questions:
- What is the goal that I am committed to achieving over the next 52 weeks? .
- What did I say I was going to do this past week?
- What did I actually do?
How do I feel about it? Briefly describe your victories or challenges from the past week. If you made progress, now is the time to give yourself a big pat on the back If you didn’t make any progress, don’t beat yourself up about it, but be honest in describing the Resistance that got in the way. Recommit to your goal, and move forward. FIDO (Forget it, drive on).
Week 2 Challenge:
- Creating a Burning Desire: The Power of WHY? List as many reasons as you can WHY achieving this particular goal is important to you. I challenge you to come up with at least 6 powerful reasons. The more powerful the WHY, the greater the likelihood that you will take consistent action toward your goal.\
- 48 Hour Action Step:What one action will you commit to taking within the next 48 hours that will move you one step closer to your goal? Take that Step.
The Power of Persistence: Four Steps to Achieving any Goal
1. DEFINITE GOAL: backed by a BURNING DESIRE:
2. DEFINITE PLAN expressed in CONTINOUS ACTION…starting NOW.
3. Mind closed against all Negative influences.
4. Encouragement of Supporters
Expect Success,
Keep Your Core Strong!

Sometimes we need a little push (or a lot) in order to help us achieve our goals and dreams.
I’ve found that having someone to encourage, support, and give me a “kick” in the proverbial pants form time to time can make a huge difference in closing the gap from “potential” to “peak performance”.
That’s why over the next 52 weeks, starting right NOW, I’m going to “encourage” you to achieve the goals that you list as being most important to you. I’m also going to share with you some resources that I have found helpful in my own journey.
Feel free to contact me to ask any specific questions that you have, or to set up a time to have a more in depth conversation.
Week 1: ACTION STEPS:
- Write out your number one goal in present tense: Eg: “I am so happy and grateful now that I choose to complete the Scotiabank half marathon on Sept 25, 2015”.
- Ask, answer & commit to take action on the following question: What is the work that my goal is asking me to do to achieve it? (I call this the Golden Question)
