I’ve seen it in the gym.
I’ve lived it in my own life.
And I can tell you this with absolute certainty:
Being halfway committed is the fastest way to stay stuck.
It looks like showing up when it’s convenient.
Tracking your food until the weekend.
Saying you want results, but not being willing to change what you do day to day.
That’s not commitment. That’s acting like you’re committed.
And the problem with that? It gets you just enough progress to feel like you’re doing something—
But not enough to actually change your life.
I used to live in that space.
I told myself I was “trying.”
Trying to start a business.
Trying to get stronger.
Trying to find balance between work, fitness, and family.
But “trying” is a lie we tell ourselves to avoid going all in.
It’s a way to keep one foot in safety and one foot in growth.
But that split? That gap? It’s where all your energy gets drained.
You spend more time and effort wavering than you would if you just committed and went for it.
Things didn’t change for me until I made a decision.
Not a temporary one. Not a “try-it-for-a-month” one.
A real, all-in decision to stop playing small.
All in on owning a gym that actually helps people.
All in on training like my health and strength mattered—because it does.
All in on being the kind of dad and husband who leads by example.
It wasn’t some magical breakthrough. It was hundreds of small choices stacked on top of each other.
It was discipline before motivation.
Action before perfection.
So if you’re feeling stuck right now—whether it’s in your health, your business, or your life—
I want to ask you three questions:
- Where in your life are you still playing it safe, hoping things will just “work out”?
- What would change if you stopped dipping your toe in—and dove in fully?
- Who are you letting down by staying half-in: your future self, your family, or both?
You owe it to yourself—and the people who count on you—to stop coasting.
To stop saying “maybe later.”
To go all in.
