Pumpkin Bonbons and Takeaway of the Day!

I hope your Friday is going well. I have a great Fall-inspired recipe for you below.

A few of my coaches and I have been at the NorCal Fitness Summit with some of the top trainers in the area.

Takeaway of the Day:

As I have advanced in age and gotten a tad bit smarter, I am more careful how I spend my time, where I hang out, who I spend time with, the words I speak and my actions.

Each year I go to as many personal development workshops, masterminds and health & fitness seminars as I can, to stay motivated by new ideas and the community of those who desire more for themselves.

Regardless of your goals, surround yourself with others who are looking to be successful and on a similar path.

Remember, you will be the 6th!

If you hang around five confident people, you will be the 6th.

If you hang around five intelligent people, you will be the 6th.

If you hang around five millionaires, you will be the 6th.

If you hang around five idiots, you will be the 6th.

If you hang around five broke people, you will be the 6th.

It’s inevitable.

You must choose which 6th you want to be very, very carefully.

Given you want to get healthy and lean hang with those folks that want the same and do what they do.
