TRY IT ON - Performance Coach - BOAZ GILAD

I was going to move on to the whole point that when people get comfortable, it's one of the reasons why they plateau.

But you've also mentioned that even if people are inspired and they want to do all this stuff, sometimes they still will plateau.

Now, why would that be?

Well, I would challenge what you're saying, and Fong, not because what I'm saying is correct, but because it's another way to look at it, right? So another way to look at plateau is status quo.

Like you hit a particular level, you level yourself and you stay there.

But here's the news.

Nothing in the universe, not even just in the world, in the universe is ever status quo or plateau.

That's actually an invention of humans.

Everything you look at either shrink or expands.

And that's critical.

I want you, and I'm speaking to you as if you're one of the clients I work with, right? So I want you to eliminate that form of vocabulary because actually, if you look at planets, trees, humans, your bank account, they never plateau.

They either shrink or expand.

Even if you make the same amount of money, inflation will keep on chopping into your revenues and then it's going to shrink, right? So...

When you plateau, you probably have the illusion that you're just cruising along, right? I would say to you, no, no, no.

You are shrinking.

Cruising along is like standing on an escalator.

The escalator is moving down, but you're standing.

You're like, oh, I'm not moving.

Look at me.

I don't know.

It's moving down.

Now, there's nothing wrong with it.

I'm not saying that you need to keep on pushing, pushing, pushing.

It depends where you are.

In your 20s or 30s, you want to push because you have all the energy.
