E32: This Is Dangerous

“The Strength of the Wolf is the pack, and the Strength of Pack is the Wolf.” -Rudyard Kipling

The law of the jungle says there is strength in numbers. Packs, Prides, Flocks, and Swarms. These are wild animals driven by impulse and instinct. Imagine how deadly they would be if discipline, intelligence, and self-awareness fueled them.

Brains & Gains

Some people like to read, study and grow their perspectives, knowledge, and insight. Some people like to lift, sweat, and grow their biceps, pecs, and shoulders. You rarely find a person who is passionate about both.

The only thing rarer than finding this type of person is finding a group of these people. So rare you might have to get up in the wee 3 am hours and head off to the gym to find it.

It takes a certain amount of discipline to be a part of the 4am Club and workout every morning. A level of commitment and sacrifice that most people will never understand.

The desire to get stronger, lose weight, get fit, or feel healthy isn’t rare. Executing a consistent plan to achieve it is. Similarly, most people want to be happy and stress-free with successful careers and relationships. Yet, they wait for these things to come to them.

The world of health and fitness has more in common with personal and professional development than we think. Discipline, study, hard work, determination, self-reflection, plus trial and error are the foundation of both.

Multiplier Math

Health and fitness progress is typically linear. We get stronger rep by rep, increased weight by increased weight. We run further mile

by mile and faster millisecond by millisecond.

Personal and professional growth work is not linear. It compounds. We cannot measure our growth so easily. Sometimes, we are not even aware it is working until we can understand or master a scenario or situation that we previously could not.

However, these dynamics change depending upon the environment they are fostered in. A group environment accelerates and multiplies the speed at which gains and growth occur. Plus, the range and depth across the areas they are made.

Environment is a catalyst. Environments create cultures, norms, habits, and perspectives. A positive environment builds, elevates, and strengthens. A negative environment demolishes, lowers, and weakens. Culture can make or break.

Conclusion

A disciplined life rooted in a commitment to physical health and fitness, overflowing with an appetite for personal growth and development, supported and elevated by a dynamic, positive culture, is beautifully dangerous.

Rare environments, people, and perspectives will never be found in ordinary places. If you want to be extraordinary, live an extraordinary life, and build an extraordinary business. You must possess extraordinary ambition and develop extraordinary skills, habits, and interests.

Like attracts like. It’s time to find your Pack.

This Is Dangerous

What is the Construction MPa Program vs. Construction MPa Podcast? The Construction MPa Program is an entirely different beast than the Construction MPa Podcast. However, it was ultimately built with the same end goal in mind, too:

A) Help small business owners strengthen their businesses from the inside out.

B) Provide a home for small business owners to openly discuss the challenges they face in a sales and bullshit-free environment.

The ultimate aim of all things Construction MPa s to deliver content, advice, and experience in areas that most people never talk about. Most business owner leadership content is outdated and not relevant for working-class industries.

Blue-collar people and businesses require blue-collar leadership: straight-talking, experience-based fact-driven content. Mindset, attitude, and perspective get overlooked. Helping company owners transition from a job site trade mindset to a business owners mindset takes time, patience, and conscious effort.

Strong businesses require a strong business owner mindset, and that’s what Construction MPa is all about.

The Construction MPa Program is for Business Owners Only.
