In this episode of the Bad Podcast, Dawain Atkinson and Bradley Barmore discuss the importance of taking one step and one rep at a time. They emphasize the need to push through the moments when you feel like quitting because that is often when the breakthrough happens. They also talk about the power of repetition in eliminating fear and doubt and building courage. The hosts share personal stories and examples to illustrate these concepts and encourage listeners to surround themselves with positive and like-minded people who will support and motivate them.
Key Takeaways:
The moment you are ready to quit is usually the moment right before the miracle happens.
Repetition eliminates fear, and doubt, and creates courage.
Surround yourself with positive and like-minded people who will push you to take the next step.
Holding on to the past and overthinking can prevent you from moving forward.
Your “why” should be strong and drive you even when you don’t feel like taking action.
