- 0:00Speaker 1: It's not okay to make an excuse.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Loses always have an excuse, take the plans and go
- 0:04Speaker 2: for it.
- 0:05Speaker 3: It takes a lot of courage.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Getting out of your comfort zone is massively important.
- 0:09Speaker 3: Above all beliefe.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Making excuses is just another reason why you're not going
- 0:19Speaker 1: to succeed. You know, it's not it's not a valid
- 0:22Speaker 1: reason unless you can't physically enable yourself to train. You've got,
- 0:27Speaker 1: you know, even having no legs, no arms. You know,
- 0:29Speaker 1: we've seen all these wonderful stories the people not wonderful,
- 0:33Speaker 1: but they've they've gone through trauma and they've kind of
- 0:35Speaker 1: overcome that and they're very successful in what they do.
- 0:38Speaker 1: So I just don't I would say I don't like it.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I just don't agree with people making excuses because it's
- 0:46Speaker 1: we're from a society and now I think that an
- 0:50Speaker 1: excuse is okay. You know, we've accepted it, right, let's
- 0:53Speaker 1: make an excuse why we can't do it. It's not
- 0:55Speaker 1: okay to make an excuse because you know, I've got
- 0:59Speaker 1: not enough time. I've not there's not a half hours
- 1:01Speaker 1: in the day to this. I don't like this food,
- 1:03Speaker 1: I don't like this. We shouldn't be saying that's okay
- 1:07Speaker 1: to make those type of excuses. Let's not make the excuses.
- 1:10Speaker 1: Let's kind of man up and kind of just move
- 1:13Speaker 1: on and get on and do better for ourselves. And again, yeah,
- 1:17Speaker 1: I've never tried to make any excuses. And if I
- 1:20Speaker 1: do rabbish in a show, I kind of mess up.
- 1:22Speaker 1: But it's not I've got to hold myself accountable. There's
- 1:26Speaker 1: not any reason. You know, it's not the referee's fault,
- 1:29Speaker 1: it's not my coach is the nutritionist. It's down to me.
- 1:34Speaker 1: If I haven't kind of lived up to my end
- 1:36Speaker 1: of the bargain, then that's the reason why I've kind
- 1:38Speaker 1: of not performed fully. And I think a lot of
- 1:42Speaker 1: people should try and hold themselves a bit more accountable.
- 1:45Speaker 1: I think self improvement and self worth, you'd feel so
- 1:48Speaker 1: much better if you just kind of held yourself accountable
- 1:51Speaker 1: a lot more in life.
- 2:01Speaker 4: Don't stop because of failures, don't quit because it is
- 2:05Speaker 4: getting hot. Success comes at a price, and you must
- 2:10Speaker 4: be willing to pay it.
- 2:13Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 2:13Speaker 5: I just I've always kind of said, you mean, like
- 2:16Speaker 5: going through school with the thing that stuck up to
- 2:18Speaker 5: me is like a teacher said, oh, you're not going
- 2:20Speaker 5: to do nothing, and that kind of stuck with me
- 2:22Speaker 5: because you know, a lot of people if people have
- 2:27Speaker 5: additional needs, you know, if this, if if someone says that,
- 2:30Speaker 5: they'll believe it. And I believe that for a long
- 2:32Speaker 5: long time. So I just think you need to kind
- 2:35Speaker 5: of keep around positive people. You know, whatever you want
- 2:38Speaker 5: to do, whatever goal you want to set, what if
- 2:40Speaker 5: it's the biggest goal, smallest goals, just go out and
- 2:42Speaker 5: smash it. Because you know, I'm kind of I hope
- 2:45Speaker 5: I'm an example of it, you know, and I proved
- 2:48Speaker 5: hundreds and hundreds of people wrong. And that's what kind
- 2:51Speaker 5: of I'm wanting a lot of other people to do.
- 2:53Speaker 5: And that's what I'm trying to show people that, you know,
- 2:55Speaker 5: just because I've got Asperger's doesn't mean I'm going to
- 2:58Speaker 5: sit back and not achieve goals. You know, I want
- 3:00Speaker 5: to be the best in the world, and I'm going
- 3:01Speaker 5: to be the best in the world. So yeah, I
- 3:03Speaker 5: just think positive, have a positive attitude everything you do,
- 3:07Speaker 5: and just be around positive people and you'll get firing
- 3:10Speaker 5: life for those two things.
- 3:12Speaker 3: So, you know, some people, if you allow that self
- 3:14Speaker 3: doubt to ruin your dreams, you're never going to get
- 3:18Speaker 3: anywhere in life. But the thing is, as long as
- 3:20Speaker 3: you're passionate enough, as long as you're coming from the
- 3:25Speaker 3: heart and not from the head, and your motivation is
- 3:28Speaker 3: pure passion for what you believe in, no one can
- 3:32Speaker 3: stop you.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Strong mindset will take you as far as you want
- 3:37Speaker 2: to go in life. Being everyone will wants success, they
- 3:39Speaker 2: have to do the hard work. Some people try and
- 3:41Speaker 2: find a shortcut, but you should never want to try
- 3:43Speaker 2: and find a short hard work should always be like
- 3:45Speaker 2: the main thing, and you should enjoy how hard you've
- 3:48Speaker 2: got to work as well to get there, because it
- 3:49Speaker 2: just makes it that much sweeter.
- 3:50Speaker 1: In the end.
- 3:52Speaker 4: Start blaming others. Start blaming people for the reasons you
- 3:56Speaker 4: find yourself in now. Start blaming your your wish, stop
- 4:01Speaker 4: blaming your parents, stop blaming the government, stop blaming your
- 4:05Speaker 4: genetic stop blaming everybody else. The only person you can
- 4:10Speaker 4: truly blame is you, because you are the only person
- 4:14Speaker 4: who can get yourself out of it.
- 4:16Speaker 5: I would just say, you know, take the plunge and
- 4:18Speaker 5: go for that. I mean, like you sacrifice your job,
- 4:21Speaker 5: if you're that serious about to satifice your job, you know,
- 4:23Speaker 5: sacrifice the knights out, you know, and just get yourself
- 4:27Speaker 5: a coach, get yourself at that nutritionist, and let's you
- 4:30Speaker 5: go for your things to.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Fall back on.
- 4:32Speaker 5: If you're young enough, you know, like myself, if I
- 4:34Speaker 5: if this failed, I have stuff to fall back on.
- 4:36Speaker 5: But I think, just take the plunge on one hundred percent.
- 4:39Speaker 5: Just if you want to do it, just go for it.
- 4:42Speaker 1: You know. That's that's my attitude. It is.
- 4:46Speaker 3: It takes a lot of motivation, it takes a lot
- 4:49Speaker 3: of courage, and it takes above all belief.
- 4:54Speaker 1: I don't want to be one of those guys in
- 4:56Speaker 1: fifteen years and the partnership. Oh well, I could have
- 4:59Speaker 1: done that, done this, I could have done that. I
- 5:01Speaker 1: would hate myself if I turned into one of those
- 5:04Speaker 1: people that they could have you know, I could have
- 5:06Speaker 1: should have done it. It's not something who I am.
- 5:08Speaker 1: I've not been brought up like that. I've been brought
- 5:10Speaker 1: up to you know, put in the work and get
- 5:13Speaker 1: the rewards. That's that's why I see myself. So I
- 5:17Speaker 1: don't want to be like the naily guy.
- 5:18Speaker 2: I don't want to get that level and I want
- 5:20Speaker 2: to be the one that's getting in the ring now
- 5:23Speaker 2: and I'm going to win at that level. I don't
- 5:24Speaker 2: want to be fighting these guys thinking oh am I
- 5:26Speaker 2: good enough or not. I want to get in there and.
- 5:27Speaker 1: Know you need to do the hard path.
- 5:34Speaker 5: You know, you can't just have it easy, and if
- 5:36Speaker 5: it was easy, everyone would do it. And to kind
- 5:39Speaker 5: of be the best like the world, you kind of
- 5:41Speaker 5: have to, you know, go places where no one's going
- 5:45Speaker 5: to go, take your body to places no one's going
- 5:47Speaker 5: to go, because at the end of the day, you're
- 5:50Speaker 5: you can only kind of the good thing of it sports,
- 5:52Speaker 5: You've only got yourself to blame if you don't do
- 5:54Speaker 5: things good. So I think the hard path is the
- 5:57Speaker 5: best path to do. You know, so mentally, physically gets
- 6:01Speaker 5: you ready and or everything's just dialing and yeah, the
- 6:05Speaker 5: high path for me, I probably sure the easy path,
- 6:08Speaker 5: but yeah, the high path is has helped me one
- 6:12Speaker 5: hundred percent.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Getting out of your comfort zone is massively important, and
- 6:18Speaker 2: again that comes down to the same thing as obsession.
- 6:20Speaker 1: I think you.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Can't just be comfortable in what you're doing and it
- 6:23Speaker 2: be out of your comfort zone.
- 6:26Speaker 3: That's how people live their lives. They're not prepared to
- 6:28Speaker 3: step into that discomfort knowing that on the other side
- 6:32Speaker 3: of that is the long term gain. The way we're wired,
- 6:36Speaker 3: and this is the way people operate basically, is everyone's
- 6:40Speaker 3: taking short term comfort, whether that's drugs, drink, relationships, job choices,
- 6:47Speaker 3: all the choices they make, they make knowing that there's
- 6:51Speaker 3: a level of comfort there. And if you want to
- 6:54Speaker 3: achieve anything in life, if you want to achieve success
- 6:56Speaker 3: at work, successes in any aspects of your life, you
- 7:00Speaker 3: need to take short term discomfort for long term.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Again, I just don't think about it, just do it.
- 7:08Speaker 1: You know. It's if you find your passion in anything.
- 7:13Speaker 1: You know, it could be baking, it could be drawing, writing, whatever, it's,
- 7:19Speaker 1: find that passion and just don't let it go. Don't
- 7:22Speaker 1: have that plan B. You know, that's what I had
- 7:25Speaker 1: for so long, So strong man, it was just a hobby,
- 7:28Speaker 1: you know, even though we're making some money and where
- 7:30Speaker 1: it was growing and stuff, it was just a hobby.
- 7:33Speaker 1: So I thought, well, yeah, i'll do the offshore a thing.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I'll maybe do a bit more of a strong man,
- 7:38Speaker 1: but always have that plan B to go back in
- 7:40Speaker 1: the rigs. So now I'm done. There's no no plan B, C, D.
- 7:46Speaker 1: It's only one thing, and that strong man, don't give up.
- 7:55Speaker 5: On your life always, just always to achieve your goals
- 8:00Speaker 5: what you set up to do, and just kind of,
- 8:02Speaker 5: you know, try and try and make the hard times
- 8:05Speaker 5: as easy as possible in your heads as you can,
- 8:08Speaker 5: being on always. Always if you're not sure if things,
- 8:12Speaker 5: ask questions and don't ever hesitate to kind of you know,
- 8:16Speaker 5: ask the question twice three times. You know, no one's
- 8:18Speaker 5: going to think you're stupid. Just always, just if you're
- 8:21Speaker 5: not sure, just do it and just attack life like
- 8:25Speaker 5: you're there to live it, you know, and just live
- 8:27Speaker 5: your life to feel this. That's all I have to say.
- 8:29Speaker 1: So that your life is just so far agile. I mean,
- 8:35Speaker 1: you don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. So treat
- 8:37Speaker 1: each day like it's your last day. And that's what
- 8:39Speaker 1: I've been doing, I think for the last last a
- 8:41Speaker 1: lot of while, and it's it's you enjoy life a
- 8:43Speaker 1: lot more.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Doing it that way, I think allows your product of
- 8:46Speaker 3: our imagination. We can create the life that we want
- 8:51Speaker 3: if we believe in it, if we visualize it. So
- 8:53Speaker 3: for me, you know, when I do that, I'm planting
- 8:56Speaker 3: what I want, the goal that I want in my
- 8:58Speaker 3: subconscious You would subconsciously type decisions and type and make
- 9:04Speaker 3: decisions and take actions that we fleckt your goal.
- 9:09Speaker 1: If you want the easy life, and fine, man, it's
- 9:12Speaker 1: it's not going to be rewarding. You know. Doing something
- 9:15Speaker 1: easy you get a little reward from it. Doing something
- 9:18Speaker 1: hard and succeeding it. Doing a marathon, climbing Mount Everest,
- 9:22Speaker 1: lifting five hundred kilos, putting two hundred and thirty kilos
- 9:25Speaker 1: above your head, those are extremely hard things to do,
- 9:28Speaker 1: but the reward is never ending, you know. Making that
- 9:32Speaker 1: historic lift, the historic whatever it is, is never ending.
- 9:38Speaker 1: You know. So for Tom and I strongest brothers in history,
- 9:41Speaker 1: first brothers in history to ever make the world's Strongest
- 9:44Speaker 1: Man final, that's never ending. I can. I can boast
- 9:48Speaker 1: about that forever. And that was hard to do. That
- 9:51Speaker 1: was ninety nine point nine nine nine nine nine percent.
- 9:55Speaker 1: That people will never ever do that, and that's because
- 9:57Speaker 1: too many people want the easy, easy stuff and they're
- 10:00Speaker 1: happy with that. That's fine, but know that the harder
- 10:04Speaker 1: way is always a bigger rewards. Nothing truer has ever
- 10:07Speaker 1: been said. That's it's simple, you know, go down that.
- 10:12Speaker 1: If you've got a path, easy path, hard path, hard
- 10:16Speaker 1: path every time, every time,
