Similarities between Life and Fitness

I've been doing a lot of brainstorming about my new business, GettingFitness, and have come to realize the many similarities between fitness and business. I've listed a few below:

- People that get results are the ones that push themselves beyond what they think they're capable of achieving

- People that show up to win and push through the pain will outlast and outperform those that procrastinate and whine

- Setting S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely) goals will outline the the path for getting things accomplished

- Working with others will allow yourself to push others and others to push you

- A coach/mentor will help filter out the clutter and give guidance to what you want to achieve

- Knowledge is a key asset; use it to your advantage

- If you put in the time/dedication you will reap the benefits when it counts

- You perform how you practice

I see and experience a lot of imbalance between the two - I see people who work hard at work, but fizzle when exercising. I also see people who push the limits and rock in fitness/athletics but coast through work. Pushing ourselves in both arenas will make us better in both worlds.
