I still remember Denzel in Training Day (or his character the rugged and crooked to a T “Alonzo Harris” if I might say so) telling the young buck Ethan Hawke (Jake Hoyt) this.

They had recently got a warrant signed by a judge for the supposed “search” of a person who was supposed to Harris’s close friend . . . and what happens?

Well, most of you probably know that Harris “pops him” and pins the blame on to guess who.

And while the movie in itself is a potboiler movie, I was discussing something with the wife this afternoon, and I “got it”.

Or should I say I remembered to write this to you, hehe.

You’ll see that on this here site I’ve got a ton of pop-ups (well, less than before though hehe) and many sign up forms etc for our FREE newsletter, which if I may add doesn’t fall into the “aint nutting free in life” category in that it adds VALUE.

Real VALUE.

In fact, I’ve read books on success and life by so called “experts” and “life coaches”, and sometimes, their entire books have less depth than an email I send – or blog post I write – or one of my lengthy Medium or Linked pieces (again, completely free by the way).

It might be human nature to NOT value that which you get free, but from the small but growing and rabidly fanatical 0 Excuses Fitness subscriber base (I’m talking real customers, not just those that sign up for the free newsletter and then do exactly squat all) – – this doesn’t apply to the DOERS in life.

I’ve often gotten free stuff off the Internet or friends which believe it or not I’ve sometimes valued OVER paid stuff . . . I know, sounds amazing, but is true.

The best thing in life are often free!

Have I thrown you enough curveballs as yet?

Probably so so back to the central premise of this.

I’ve noticed many folks send people a free e-book – or free copy of something – or free SOMETHING in return for an email address, for one.

But have you ever noticed that all these freebies “leave something to be desired”?

In most cases, those freebies are but “bait” designed to get the subscriber to buy a  paying product and while I do KNOW people that provide REAL value even with their free giveaways in return for an email address, they are in the minority. Very much so!

And that’s one reason I don’t give out free anythings when people sign up for MY lists – except our daily emails, and those enough add enough value for a lifetime, I’d say, for the average person out there.

Free is often NOT valued, my friend . . . and in addition to that, everyone knows the truism of “aint nutting free in life”.

So there it is. Chew on this some – and let me know what you think!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – While there are many that are content to remain “Free subscribers”, there are also those that want MORE – and it is for THOSE people that I created all my products. Take a gander here.

P.S #2 – To apply for fitness or life coaching, click HERE.

As you read this, and indeed as I write this a MASS PURGE is going on – not on this particular website, but on the FIRST site.

The ORIGINAL site if I may . . . www.rahulmookerjee.com.

Where it ALL started, my friend . . . and while I don’t mean to be overly philosophical about it, it it DID indeed all start there.

This particular “here” update will NOT be sent out on social media for reasons known only to me – and it will only be sent to my current list HERE (you guys on the list deserve the updates first, and in this case I only want those of you that are SERIOUS to know, so!).

The email list on that website has grown to be huge and bulky, and has over 30 K subscribers at the time of writing this.

Some of you guys on the list are genuine – some NOT.

And some of the email address (indeed quite a few of them) seem to have been inputted by people OTHER than the owners of the email addresses themselves. Absolutely NOT acceptable to me, my friend.

And not only that – over the past few days, I’ve been chatting about reviving the rahulmookerjee.com site.

I’ve already got THIS site going STRONG – so it ain’t about business.

It’s about the heart.

THIS IS WHERE it all started (to grow and be FULL time doing this) for me, and this site has a very special place in my heart, as does the orignal Fast and Furious book.

(NB – although all my products are DIGITAL now, Fast and Furious Fitness is the ONLY product I currently offer in hardcopy format. Collector’s items as it were, and again, good reason behind this!).

If you want the hardcopy though, you’ll have to email me for it. I’m offering it in digital format on the site, but I’ve got a stack of HARDCOPIES sitting here right by me as I type this, hehe.

You always remember that first love. The first book you wrote. The very first fitness venture you embarked on, hehe (and for me it wasn’t even this rahulmookerjee.com website. It was another domain and I’ll have to check and see if that is still available!).

Ah, if only I had known what I do NOW – I could have made things so much “bigger” and helped SO MANY MORE people . . . but thats OK.

It all happens at the right place and right time, and for a reason.

I’ve had a very storied life indeed – continue to do so – no complaints, and in that vein, I’m back to deleting people.

KEY TAKEAWAY from all this, you ask?

Well, THIS.

If you’re truly interested in receiving updates from yours truly (note – these updates will NOT in MOST cases be the same as you get from on a daily basis from 0 Excuses Fitness) then please resign up again using the newsletter sign up function on the main page (at the bottom of the www.rahulmookerjee.com website).

Welcome aboard again as I “resuscitate” that website (funnily enough, it still ranks very highly in Google) – and while I’m not sure what plans I have for it down the road, for now, it’s going to be something DIFFERENT – that is ALL I can promise!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – And yes, I write about topics other than fitness. If that pisses off some people, so be it – please do NOT sign up. Other hand, the 0 Excuses Fitness site will probably become more fitness related down the road, and the other one more life – but we’ll see how that goes, hehe.

P.S #2 – Last, but not least, don’t forget to check out 0 Excuses Fitness products right HERE – https://0excusesfitness.com/products/

P.P.S – If you’re already signed up for THIS list, but would like to see what I have to offer on that other site down the road, YES, do sign up on the other site as well . . .

A while I ago was chatting with my friend Dwayne about  . . . well, I can’t remember. Life in general I believe it was, and we were talking about work and success, and how things don’t often go according to plan.

And how we should always be prepared for not necessarily the best – but the WORST to happen.

Hey, don’t get me wrong.

It’s all well and good to EXPECT the best, but what if that happens in a manner and (perhaps more importantly) TIME not of your choosing?

What if the “worst” were to be something that “was slated to happen” in order for the best to happen?

And curiously enough, that is how it usually DOES work.

When you’re at the bottom of a tall, tall mountain with nowhere to go – guess what.

It’s GREAT NEWS – because you have got only one way to go.

UP!

Henry Ford famously once made the comment along the lines of “when everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplace flies AGAINST the wind, not with it”.

So true, my friend.

So true.

It is only after experiencing the nadirs of FAILURE that one can rise to the heights of success, and after studying scores of successful men and women, I cannot think of a SINGLE case to which this didn’t apply (and usually not just one failure either – several massive failures).

If you’ve never failed at anything, chances are you’re never truly succeeded at that thing either.

Point here though isn’t that failure is required in order to achieve true and lasting success.

That it is, but what Im saying is here is what WHEN the mishaps occur.

Do you sink – or find it in you to SWIM – often times against a mighty tide doing all it can to keep you DOWN – and OUT?

Simply answering yes to the above question isn’t enough.

You must DO the thing.

And the key to this, my friend lies not only in what Dwayne very correctly said – – but also what Claude Bristol said in The Magic of Believing.

Success is a matter of never ending application. The minute you pause to rest on your laurels is the minute it takes wings and FLIES away.

Paraphrased, but the gist is what I just wrote.

And if there ever was a comment that rang true with yours truly THIS IS IT!

I cannot think of how many times in the past Ive done something successfully.

Built up the momentum. Felt great. Built up several small victories.

And then inexplicably I slacked off. For no good reason, I’d let things “slide”, thinking that the momentum I created would be enough to keep things humming.

It wasn’t, of course, and I found that out the hard way.

Right now, every time I embark on a new biz venture or even something fitness related, I think long term and do NOT let the small successes or failures alter my overall emotional state either way.

You gotta be in it for the long term, and this holds true for fitness too.

Here today, gone tomorrow holds true if you stop to “admire yourself in the mirror” and forget that WORK, solid WORK is still required – and that, my friend, is the topic for today.

Chew on it some, and let me know what you think!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – The exercises in the 0 Excuses Fitness System are NOT “one trick ponies”. In fact it is a challenge even for the baddest mofo out there to MASTER any of these exercises in its entirety – even the humble pushups. And there is a very good reason I keep working on the basics despite my “advanced” status at all this, and why YOU should too.

Find out more about the System here, and get ROCKING now – https://0excusesfitness.com/0excusesfitnessystem/

P.S #2 – Oh, and that’s what Dwayne was talking about with regard to “I’m the chump that keeps working”. And if you want to listen to someone that’s BEEN there and DONE the thing, and then some, well, that’s the man. Hehe. And he’s right, of course.

One of the things I really do hate about people is when they become massive ENERGY DRAINS – and energy suckers.

Curiously enough these same people then sometimes (after being an energy leech el -maximuso) proceed to lecture yours truly on “what is an energy drain”.

I’ll never forget the 5 minute or so audio message (ugh, I hate those! Why can’t we just text with el caveman, hehe) that I got from THAT dude who lives in mainland China and rants on and on about the injustices there (and about the Hong Kong issue as well).

Can we say hypocrite. With a capital frigging H.

Like I said before, dude, if you hate the place that much – then LEAVE. Staying there and complaining about it all day is nothing but counter productive, and that’s putting it LIGHTLY.

Yet another one in the “foreign loser” category – except he was of Chinese descent.

I’ve written about him before HERE so I won’t do so again, but you get the point.

I’ve also written about my thoughts on the Hong Kong issue, and why do I mention this?

Well, first off, because of the recent legislation that China has apparently introduced (but not drafted) that would pretty much take away whatever it left of Hong Kong’s autonomy.

And of course, my phone has been buzzing off the hook with people eager to discuss it with yours truly.

My response?

HO HUM.

As I stated before, while I have a very strong opinion on how things should proceed in Hong Kong, at the end of the day it’s a dicey issue.

There are TWO sides to this, just as there are to the Israel Palestine issue, and HERE is where I’ve written about it – if you’re interested, it might be well worth a read.

But more to the point, why do I bring this up.

Because the vast majority of these people – or perhaps ALL – are NOWHERE to be found when yours truly needs to discuss something.

Which el caveman doesn’t with the sheeple, but the point stands . . .

When I talk about something that is outside their tiny sphere of “interest” (read ESL bubble – no, NOT the expat bubble – that was pretty much back in the day, but most QUALIFIED – read folks that can do more than sing A B C in front of a kindergarten class done LEFT already – way, way back in 005 when the last great “qualified expat exodus” happened), I’m sure you can guess their reactions and responses.

CRICKETS.

Or ignore . . .

Or the cursory “Oh yeah. Whatever” as they go back to their little bubbles, entirely oblivious to what YOU HAVE TO SAY.

Curiously enough these are the same people that troll all day long on internet forums – – or get online and “diss” those that have actually MADE it through their OWN hard work (no, no handouts or Mommy’s credit card, hehe)

The same people that want it all for “free”. That want to get on IDIOTIC phone calls for HOURS on end while WASTING your time – and finding some place to vent (for them).

Don’t get me wrong. Venting is fine, but it’s a two way street, my friend and I long ago got TIRED of people calling me for hours and venting about their stuff (usually B.S. politics and other issues – all boils down to “these people have no one to talk to”).

The SAME people that are first in line at the government office to get the handouts – while publicly criticizing the very same people that are helping them.

And the same people that are drunk every night, of course . . . And that are married to, or in relationships with local women from other cultures, and all the time complain about “she can’t understand me!”

Boo hoo. . .

And more.

And if you just recognized youself in any of those categories, well, rest EASY – you ain’t alone!

Anyway, enough of that.

To truly progress in life, my friend you have to cut out what does NOT work for you.

You have to notice your FEELINGS – and if “energy drain” is the first thing that comes to mind when you see a message, or get on a call (or think about it) – well – here is my advice – DON’T.

You may and probably will lose a lot of relationships that way, but think about this – were the energy leeches actually BENEFITING you in any way (and no, I ain’t talking just money here)?

Did you feel uplifited after talking to them – – or was it always “I wish he’d give me a chance to air MY opinion too!”

Stop being a “complaint box” for others, my friend. Do so today, and you’ll be amazed at how much better you feel almost instantly!

And if you truly DO want to hang out with the DOERS – those that are MOVING AHEAD in life – and keeping in top SHAPE – well – do so HERE.

I look forward to welcoming you ON BOARD, my friend.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Remember, you’ll get UNLIMITED access to all 0 Excuses Fitness products as long as your membership is valid – as well as to yours truly. Value unlimited really – – so hop aboard now, my friend.

P.S #2 – If you haven’t checked out Advanced Hill Training as yet, what are you waiting for? Do so right here – – https://0excusesfitness.com/advanced-hill-training/

Do you know what the Kapalbhati exercise is?

If you’re serious in any way about exercises that work the REAL muscles in the abdominal region, well, you should – but don’t (even those with the best of intentions).

Now, I’ve made no mention of my contempt for the almighty (NOT) and much vaunted, and UTTERLY BUTTERLY useless CRUNCH.

Yes.

You heard me.

Crunches are about as useful as butter right after a workout or perhaps screen door on a submarine . . .

As a yoga guru in India said once,

You can work out all you like, but if you stuff parathas down your gullet after working out, you will NOT lose weight at all. In fact, you’ll probably GAIN weight.

And he’s right for more reasons than one, but lets NOT get into weight gain here.

Let’s revert back to our talk about the ABS.

Crunches are worthless my friend because they work the showboat “six pack” muscles which are just for show and do NOT provide any real strength or stability to your midsection.

I’ve stated this up and down many times in my writings as well as in Corrugated Core – and the FACT, my friend is that you need to work the muscles BENEATH the six pack in order for the following to START happening –

REAL core strength and stability

Improved (almost magically!) DIGESTION and lower back strength (and banishing lower back pain)

Getting rid of that pesky lower abdominal FAT

And, when combined with certain other exercises in the elementary section of the course, getting rid of the oblique fat too.

Enough benefits for you, my friend? And we’re just into the ELEMENTARY section . . .

Anyway, I’ve mentioned an exercise somewhat similar to the Kapalbhati (literally translated in Hindi it means “shining forehead” I believe – and with good reason if you believe in energy and chakras) . . . but unfortunately, most overlook it in favor of the others.

OK, no problem . . . but this simple exercise is actually what you need to be doing first.

And the Kapalbhati, though being amazingly effective from a SEATED position (yes, I know, despite my rant on exercises you do while SEATED), this one is USEFUL is one I did NOT include in the book because it’s so damn hard to explain without a video which I have not gotten around to yet for this course.

And its basically an exercise that does not involve any of the following “culprits”

• Breath control
• Muscle flexing (at least not as you know)
• Recovery times
• Much movement at all except your BELLY
• No movement of either the upper and lower limbs

And yet, it’s one of the most amazingly effective exercises there is that I HAVE taught before, both to those in my members area, and those that I coach privately.

And combined with other exercises that I Recommend, it’ll do WAY MORE to blowtorch that nasty lard right off your midsection than probably anything else combined.

Do it with Advanced Hill Training, and you’ll amplify the effects by about a bazillion, of course!

(NB – Now that I write this, I remember I actually DID this sort of thing along with Advanced Hill Training, and it felt like – quite literally – my body was “eating away the FAT” as I worked out. I don’t know – you’ll have to DO THE THING – and experience it for yourself!)

But even if you just do what it is mentioned in Corrugated Core and start with the VACUM, an amazingly effective version of the exercise in its own right, you’ll be doing just fine for a lifetime (no pun intended, and fact).

Get on it now, my friend. And in case you have questions about advanced stuff NOT shown in my books, well, apply for coaching right HERE and we’ll see what we can do!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Or, become a member of the 0  Excuses Fitness Ship right HERE – https://0excusesfitness.com/groups/

P.S #2 – Did I mention that a yearly membership to the above will get you ALL 0 Excuses Fitness products for FREE for a lifetime? Probably not, but I’m mentioning it now, so jump on this, my friend – now. Not only that, you get access to yours truly and other like minded fitness buffs as well. Always better than going it by and on your lonesome, my friend.

P.P.S.- I’ll be advising y’all on a KIDDIE variant of this exercise soon. Stay tuned (and no, it ain’t in Kiddie Fitness –  it WILL be though in the second Volume tho if I ever get around to it, hehe).

Just saw an interesting discussion on LinkedIn, a discussion that seemed to have garnered quite a few comments the last time I checked.

Apparently a lady that is against wearing face masks (or I believe LAWS that infringe upon your personal freedoms and FORCE you to wear a mask – thankfully the South doesn’t have those, hehe, and even more thankfully the North is waking up as well) had a meme out there (or a sign out there, actually) that read –

Muzzles are for dogs and slaves – I am a free human being.

. . . along with (gasp!) the picture of a slave crudely drawn on the meme . . .

Now, when I saw this sign my first thoughts were (yes, pillory me all you like, but I’m being honest) – that I AGREE (in principle) with the lady.

Hey, everyone with half a brain knows that masks don’t stop the spread of the disease any more than wearing a cloth tied around your face does (slim and next to none, and slim just left town, and if that offends people, so be it).

President Trump doesn’t wear masks either, and takes a drug that he said would work back in the day – and guess what – despite all the rumors about him having contracted the virus, he said (in his own words), “he’s still very much here!”

A man after my own heart, and one firmly in the minority and a man responsible for the US’s resurgence as of now (and I mean economically) – – and one of the few or perhaps ONLY politician globally that truly DOES care about his country.

And Trump’ism aside, the point is this – even if you think masks are required, hey, I got no problem with that . . . as long as you don’t FORCE ME to believe in it and make it legal to wear a mask at which point, hell yes, I WILL complain and HOW.

And I won’t follow the law most likely in that regard unless I HAVE to.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not advocating breaking the law. Never would.

But when law starts infringing upon personal freedom, and it HAS in many parts of the world to a horrendous extent . . . THAT is where I draw the line, both literally and figuratively.

Not to mention this lady probably has  a very good idea of how to MARKET – and she’s doing it, hehe, without even trying.

And for those that scream up and down about racism and “bad feelings” (the person who posted the initial comment was “mad”, “fuming”, “livid” and “foaming at the mouth” amongst other things, and “wasn’t going to get over it” no matter what) . . . well, guess WHAT my friend.

Sometimes we all need to grow a thick skin.

And that’s fine if you don’t want to. NO, I do NOT support racism or racist memes, but really – fear is the biggest enslaver, and if anything, this lady (the one with the meme) is saying it like it, albeit perhaps in a manner I personally wouldn’t but again, point taken (by me at least).

FEAR is what really kills you from the inside out and stops you from being all you can be, or who you can be, or even starting.

FEAR kills off any and all ambition at the outset.

FEAR of the unknown. Of death. Of this blasted virus, which at the end of the day kills LESSER people than the flu – and NEWS FLASH – the MAJORITY of the people with this virus have recovered.

Not to mention the following –

Smokers are doing better warding off the disease than non smokers. Gasp!

The people who actually did die are a SMALL percentage of those infected, and they ALL, without exception had underlying health issues. Gasp again!

President Trump, ah, but I mentioned that. How dare I, eh. Racism, and . . . triple gasp!

OK, enough of that (but yeah, I really DO think people need to get over it, but by that same token if something silly like this and as fundamental as freedom of speech makes you get your knickers in a twist, hey, by all means, be my guest).

And now that we’re past all that, here is where I’ll promote my fitness products – unafraid and unapologetically as usual –https://0excusesfitness.com/products/

Select one – and get started now (and try NOT to focus on the B.S. out there, hehe).

Rise – UP!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Here is where you can get Gorilla Grip – a course that has been the BEST selling 0 Excuses Fitness course ever since I put it out.

P.S – Here was my comment to the LinkedIn post –

Dogs seem to be a common recurrence here, dog (dawg) (sorry, couldn’t resist, hehe). Can be hilarious at times though, especially when in countries like India you once had signs like “Indians and dogs” not allowed and now that same country proudly displays “English Wine and Beer” shops everywhere (an utterly awful version of what you and I would call a “liqor store” LOL) . . . As for the lady in question, yeah, wouldn’t equate wearing masks with being a slave for sure, but FEAR is the biggest enslaver to be honest . . . and, well . . . ah, but I’ll stop . . . 😉

(if you want the original link, let me know – I’ll email it over. Took up about three lines when I first pasted it here, so I’m not now . . .)

As I was throwing my trash outside, I came across a spare bag . . . not a trash bag, but one of those bags similar to what you’d use when getting groceries.

This was a bag from Mei Yi Jia, one of my BY FAR MOST favorite (if there is a such a term; if not, I invented it!) businesses in China, hehe.

They are a convenience store brand with the FRIENDLIEST customer service out there in mainland China – by far.

Not fancy shmancy by any means. No silly airs and attitudes.

Dudes that are polite, and to the point, even with angry foreign devils sometimes bitching at them about their beer being way too late (delivery), hehe.

But given all that, it’s probably one of my favorite brands in China, and if you’ve read my comments in that regard before, you KNOW that ain’t a tag I give out, if at all!

I cannot recall the number of times that I wanted beer . . or (back in the day when I smoked) a pack of cigarettes . . . or perhaps just a “loaf” hehe of bread and eggs.

Call Mei Yi jia, and it matters NOT if it’s a Chinese festival and the whole damn city is shut down.

It matters NOT if the COVID19 is spreading (well, unless we’re talking Wuhan hehe) . . . they’ll deliver, and to your doorstep, and do so promptly.

That reminds me. I must message my delivery guy and ask him how he is, as for whatever reason he hasn’t returned to work at the store (from what I can tell) . . .

Anyway, they give you bags with Chinglish all over them (Chinese English which can be sort of pseudo cute in a way) – – and these bags state the following (I’m stating this from memory) –

“Small thing, but respect!”

What they mean is to not toss the bag anywhere after use. To reuse it. And yes, although those bags are small, they’re amazingly strong for their size, and that brings me to my central point.

It ain’t about the size of the dog. It’s about the size of the FIGHT in the dog.

And good things often DO come in small packages.

Lets look at Bruce Lee, for instance. Hardly a big guy, but if you’ve got a choice between the average pumper and toner and Lee in your corner for a knockdown BRAWL – who would you choose?

Or, Mike  Tyson – who is huge in a way, but again, if you look at some of the roid monsters out there – not big by comparison.

I’ve mentioned before about ole Steve Austin (and that’s the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so!) being my all time favorite wrassler out there.

There will never be another Austin, and never another Attitude Era.

And when the WWE hyped the Austin vs Tyson feud (which ultimately ended in the two champs being friends at the end of it all), I couldn’t help but think one thing.

In a REAL fight, who would win?

Austin is a great wrassler no doubt and a HUGE guy. Far bigger than ole Tyson.

And yet, I’d put my money on Tyson any day in a real fight, for obvious reasons!

And so forth.

Good things often come in small packages my friend, and funny part when it comes to yours truly?

I’ve often been very candid about the fact that I ain’t got the best genetics out there (by far!).

And I’ve often been even more candid about the fact that I ain’t a big guy, and the naysayers nod their heads and agree.

“I could toss you through a window!”

And yet, the REAL fighters don’t say that.

The REAL fighters have this to say.

“You’re not a small specimen by any means!”

My friend from the Marines, a bonafide GORILLA if there was a human version once stood right in front of me “toe to toe”.

Look, he said.

“You’re not hardly as small as you say!”

Sage remarks, hehe, from a man that’s been there and done that and knows what he BE talking about, hehe.

And on that note, it’s out. Back soon!

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Big doesn’t mean fat, and fat don’t mean big. You ain’t got no excuses to be fat, my friend. Sorry, but that’s just how it is – and if this here dispatch inspires you to DO something about the ponderous and almighty Buddha Belly youre tugging alone, here are the routines that will do it – https://0excusesfitness.com/advanced-hill-training/

P.S #2 – And yes, big guys CAN do pull-ups. Look at the picture on THIS here Page – –https://0excusesfitness.com/pull-ups-from-dud-to-stud-within-a-matter-of-weeks/

So, a while back . . . in 2017, actually I did something I rarely, if ever do, which is to give a copy of my (at that point unedited) book “0 Excuses Fitness” to a lady named Carol.

I knew this lady from a while back, and don’t get me wrong. It wasn’t about giving her a “freebie” in that I was WELL versed in why freebies are to be avoided like the plague (both in terms of receiving and giving, and life itself).

“Ain’t nothing free in life, son”, piped up Denzel in Training Day, and he’s spot on.

Nothings free in life, and the free things are not VALUED.

Anyway, Carol wanted to get in shape. She was getting a bit around the hips and stomach area apparently, so I gave her some exercises to do, and then the book.

I did this with a couple of other “friends” as well back in the day, just to see what happened.

Carol, by the way was the lady I referred to in the last email with an unused gym membership, but we’ll get to that later.

Fast forward a couple of years later, and Carol hasn’t even opened the book up.

My other friend I gave it to is somehow always “too busy” to read it, but the latest gossip from the world always seems to make him want to read, join and participate in like there is NO tomorrow! Hehe.

And so forth.

Now, this particular lesson is something I’ve spoken about before, and it’s TWO pronged.

First, these freebie seekers (actually, Carol didn’t outright ASK for it, but she’s smart, hehe – – she did it in a roundabout manner) don’t actually VALUE your product.

There are people (such as yours truly) who have gotten free stuff before, and have been so thankful to get it that I literally stayed up all night long reading the “free” books and info I had gotten, and applying it to my own biz.

But NOT everyone is in that sort of “go getter” mode. The vast majority of people aren’t.

And the first thing that comes to their mind when you offer them something free, even if it’s done with an open heart, is “struggling writer”, or some such other bullshit (which is BS yes because at that point although 0 Excuses Fitness was just out, I certainly wasn’t struggling by any means!).

Or, “he really needs to sell it”.

Or other such nonsense.

And so forth. I’ll write more about that later, but for now, the one comment Carol made sticks in my craw until today.

“I just started this, and . . . “ I said, excitedly starting to tell her about my new project.

She cut me off.

“how much money are you making off it?”

HUH?? Money?? I mean Jesus, lady, I’ve just STARTED it, and you’re asking me money . . .

ENERGY DRAIN if there EVER was one, and hence what I keep writing about friends and family often times either wittingly or unwittingly being black holes of energy, hehe.

Napoleon Hill said it best.

Tell the world what you’re going to do, but show it FIRST!

And anyway, so months later, I was talking to Carol again.

Not about my book. About swimming and how at the time I was trying to find a pool that was open during the winters ( my apartment complex didn’t have an indoor pool).

“Oh, I know”, Carol piped up. “You can go to the gym.”

“Uh . . . thanks but no thanks, Carol . . . “

“Don’t worry! It’s free! I have a membership that I’m not using”, she responded.

“Uh, no, I don’t know . . . “

But she would have none of it and handed me a card for a gym close to where I was.

Fast forward a few months later, and she asks me if I went to the gym.

I reddened. Let alone going to the gym I had FORGOTTEN the damn card, or that she even gave it to me!

And that, my friend, should tell you more than any other story I ever can on this issue, hehe.

The wheel truly DID come full circle, and as she asked me in an irritated manner “why I never used it”, I just smiled and . . . ah, but that’s for another post!

For now, that’s the lesson – take it or leave it – up to YOU! ?

P.S. – I’m pretty sure Carol will get back to me upon reading this with “what happened”. Typical response that will NOT get another response back until she actually reads, hehe.

P.S #2 – Here is where you can grab Kiddie Fitness, a course that a lot of Moms have been RAVING about . . .

Well, so I wrote about the Facebook group administrator that got pissed off at me for promoting an inspirational post in his (I think her, hehe) group .  .  .

A post that for the life of me I can’t see “why it isn’t applicable to living in the place mentioned, or anywhere on God’s green earth (which is getting greener by the day as ONE of the “fallouts” from the COVID. Can we say POETIC justice anyone??)”

Inspiration is inspiration.

Facts are facts.

Doing your own thing, and building a business of your own is something everyone “wants” to do at a superficial level but never get past the foolishness of their beer mugs and ESL classes (if were talking the current and general level of expats in Asia that is) when it comes time to actually get down to brass tacks and “do the thing”.

Or thang, as I like to say sometimes, hehe.

Anyway, an hour or so after that happened I received a notification from Facebook saying “they’ve temporarily stopped me from sharing my messages to other groups until Saturday”.

Being it’s Thursday right now at the time of writing this and being it’s a temporary ban that can be appealed (and I did, though I doubt it’ll do much good), it’s not a big deal either way.

Even if they did permanently ban me from sharing my stuff in groups, no problem amigo.

I’ll share it elsewhere. I’ve never been one to impose where (if) I am not wanted!

But this brings me to a central point, and one YOU Should take on board my friend – that being not to put all your eggs in one basket.

This may sound contrary to the philosophy I’ve spoken about before in terms of “burning all bridges behind you” and leaving yourself with NO choice but to do it (accomplish your goal) but it isn’t.

Your goal is meant to be accomplished. Period. No two ways around that . . . but certain goals can be accomplished in multiple ways, and SHOULD BE.

Multiple streams of income, for one, never hurt anyone did they?

Neither did multiple sites or avenues to MARKET . . .so that if one kicks you off (that hasn’t ever happened to me, but in today’s politically correct world, I keep getting my posts “censored” when I talk about the COVID or other issue and others have been outright banned from posting), you still have the others.

I’ve spoken about my other business here (also a writing related business, for which I’ve actually done far more writing in many regards than for this business).

The income from that may not be a lot this month (but it will again in July).

But I ain’t sitting here thinking about how to pay the bills, buy groceries or so forth . . . because I have OTHER sources coming in.

Overreliance on any ONE source, no matter how big or seemingly reliable is a BAD IDEA my friend – and this holds true for fitness too.

Por ejemplo, I spoke about how climbing the hill got me in the best shape of my life.

But I must admit that I overdid it at a certain point, and was neglecting certain other parts of my body.

As a person I was close to at the time told me, “you need other activities too. Like swimming, going to the gym etc” . . .

While I obviously didn’t take her up on the gym (she even offered me a free membership that she HERSELF had not used – speaks tomes huh), the point was valid.

And I really only got into the very best shape of my life once I started on the 0 Excuses Fitness routines, and MIXED them in with everything else.

It’s always dangerous and sometimes counter productive to rely on ONE platform – or method alone, and that’s today’s message!

Oh boy, hehe.

I seem to have ticked off a few more people with my inspirational posts as of late.

I received the following from a Facebook group I’m a part of this morning (this was in response to a post I did up a while ago on achievement and sacrifice”.

A response which sounded more like a hissy than anything else.

And while I’m not going to dignify said group in public here, I’ll let you know which one if you email me if you like, but here was the response.

“This post is CRAP. It has NOTHING to do with living in Dalat. It will be deleted!”

Woah!

Bad hair day, someone?

Or perhaps on their peeerrriiioodddd?

Or perhaps . . . hehe, but I best not go there.

Of all my posts, I cannot imagine what might have sparked this reaction on the part of the group administrator, but I CAN hazard a guess.

They’re probably teaching English in Vietnam.

What do I mean?

Well, I’ve spoken about ESL and my thoughts on this (all true by the way) before in my writings so I won’t mention it again, but Dalat is a city I’m planning on traveling to soon (in Vietnam) once the COVID 19 panic is over.

And so I had idly joined a Facebook group or two for it . . .

And back to the comment itself, it seems the person that wrote that “hissy” was having a bad day, but it also seemed the post struck home.

Much with a lot of these group admnistrators sitting in Mama’s basement that as a friend of mine Glenn once sagely put it “think they’re king shit because they have a WeChat group”.

And so it goes for Facebook as well apparently.

Now don’t get me wrong – I remove people from my groups all the time for spamming, but this post was hardly spam.

Even if it WAS (according to the admin), there are no group rules specifically prohibiting it.

And even if they were, hey, hit the delete button.

Why throw a hissy?

Why write the lengthy sentence he or she did?

I know that when I remove people from my groups . . . I . . . well, you guessed it.

I just do it.

No second thoughts or words.

And in the vast majority of cases unless they ask me politely and give good reason (and most don’t, preferring to throw a hissy) . . . they are NOT added back to my groups.

And I wouldn’t care if someone did that to me. Hey, I ain’t everyone’s cup of tea, but throwing a hissy isn’t exactly the way to go about being a “responsible” group administration either.

When the shoe pinches . . . or the post hits HOME, hehe, and it likely did for said person.

Anyway, I see this sort of thing all the time.

I once promoted “Gorilla Grip” in a facebook group meant for Nanjing in China, and got the following brilliant (not) response.

“I build a gorilla grip by choking my <unmentionables>”

Laugh all you like, my friend, but ‘tis true. The general “level” of people out there is just STUPID to say the least, and some of the expats running around town (as a friend of mine put it) “teaching English just due to the color of their skin and NO other qualifications really) fit the bill even better, hehe.

Anyway, all for now. If you’re interested in real fitness products, that get you STRAIGHT to what WORKS without fancy shmancy rubbish and throwing hissies – here is where you go , my friend – https://0excusesfitness.com/products/
