The Hidden Pattern Between Fitness Fails and Financial Flops


Here’s what separates winners from losers: It’s not talent. It’s just not luck. It’s not even failure.

A study from Northwestern University analyzed over 700,000 grant applications and 46 years of venture capital investments. What they found might surprise you.

The winners, those who eventually broke through, had failed just as often as the losers.

The only difference? The winners stuck around long enough to find their breakthrough. They stayed in the game. They learned. They adapted. They executed.

The losers? They gave up too early and walked away empty-handed.

Now let’s bring this closer to home…

You’re quitting too soon.
You’re abandoning your plan before it has time to pay off.
You’re treating each setback as proof that “it doesn’t work,” instead of what it really is: a data point to refine your approach.

Winning investors don’t avoid failure. They expect it. But they fail fast, adapt quickly, and keep swinging.

This same approach has led me to start multiple businesses and partnerships…MOST fail, but the few winners have built me freedom and financial security to do what I love most: coaching.

The same rules apply to your health.

Now imagine working with someone who’s already seen the patterns…

Who’s coached thousands through this cycle...

And knows exactly how to help you sidestep the traps that trip up most people.

That’s what a seasoned coach with over 15 years of experience brings to the table.

You don’t have to fail your way to the answer.

You just need to follow someone who already has.

If you’re tired of starting over... let’s start smart instead.

One wants to feel better. The other wants to be better. One chases comfort, hacks, and “what’s optimal.” The other asks:What works?Why does it work?Then executes… relentlessly. That’s who we coach.
