Ladies,
Yesterday I listened to a podcast about the echoes of life — and it stopped me cold. Not because it was inspirational, but because it felt like someone had taken the last five years of my life and put them into words.
From 2020 to 2024, I went through one of the hardest seasons of my career.
I closed a location but still carried the lease — $40,000 a year for four years.
At one point, I was losing $1,000 a day.
My accountant and a consumer-proposal expert literally said:
“Just file. Write it off. You’ll never get out of this.”
But I didn’t believe them.
I believed in the ending.
I believed in this community.
And I believed that if I stayed consistent, if I planted the right seeds, even without immediate results… eventually the echo would come back.
And it did.
This is what Ed Mylett meant:
Negative actions echo back quickly — 60 to 120 days.
Positive actions take longer — sometimes months, sometimes years — but the harvest always comes
That’s exactly what your fitness journey feels like.
You train.
You show up.
You eat better.
You try to be consistent.
And sometimes… nothing seems to change.
But everything you’re doing today becomes the headlines you’ll read 90, 120, 180 days from now.
Success always echoes. It just echoes late.
But here’s the part most people never understand…
You can do all the right things, hit every milestone, make real progress — and still not feel happy if you haven’t defined what success actually means to you.
Is it weight loss?
Fat loss?
More muscle?
More energy?
Better habits?
Confidence?
Strength?
A healthier lifestyle?
Or simply feeling proud of yourself again?
Because here’s what I see:
Women lose 5–10 pounds, feel stronger, train consistently, improve their nutrition… and still walk out disappointed. Not because they didn’t progress — but because they’re comparing, rushing, or ignoring the wins they already prayed for.
Fast-forward a year — maybe life got busy, the routine slipped, or stress took over — and suddenly the weight creeps back. And do you know what I hear?
“Paul… I wish I was where I was last year.”
The same place they weren’t happy with at the time.
That’s why defining YOUR version of success matters.
Because if you don’t?
You’ll hit every fitness goal and still feel empty — and you’ll miss the fact that you already had the results you wanted.
So here’s the real message:
Be in the moment.
Be proud of the season you’re in.
Define what actually matters to you.
And then stay consistent long enough for the echo — and the harvest — to come back.
Because it will come back.
It always does.
Keep planting the seeds, ladies.
Your harvest is on its way.
