#1PercentChallenge – Separating From Average

Leave a reply

The #1PercentChallenge has been awesome! Just two weeks in, we’ve had so many inspiring and motivating entrants, all waking up between 4:00 – 5:00 am, and getting in their “separation grind.” @Greffrath_11, @jasdeepsingh64, and @DustinVanLieu haven’t missed a day, including weekends!

There’s not a more peaceful time than waking up before the sun.

Jasdeep had knee surgery in the beginning of the #1PercentChallenge, but still hasn’t missed a day!

Dustin

Dustin’s up and ready to prove what it takes to separate from mediocrity!

You still have time to enter – the #1PercentChallenge closes September 5th. Each morning you wake up between 4:00 – 5:00 am, tweet “I’m up” to me, @OhoopsProfessor, or @GymRatStatus. Then, between 6:00 -7:00 am, send us proof of grind, via picture or video, which will put you into the prize pool for apparel, and exclusive rights to video and upcoming promotions.

 

OHoops Coach Ryan Sacrificing …

Leave a reply
This was OHoopsCoachRyan post on Twitter yesterday, and what he’s doing during our #1PercentChallenge: “If 1% of people are up at 4 am, what % of people are up until 2 am doin work?” 
He’s killing it on the court and in the gym, proving that excuses don’t exist in his world, and elite level success can only come from sacrifice, sweat, and pain! You can also find Ryan at OHoopsTraining – dude’s a beast. He’s the true definition of the #1PercentMindset!

Wake Up …

Are you sleeping in, or getting up early and separating from the pack? The moment I began waking up at 4:00 am, my life changed! Not only am I achieving more because I’m putting in more time, but I’m also modeling for my students. If I preach sacrifice to them, I better be living it!

Your body definitely needs rest, but there’s no doubt in my mind, if you want ridiculous success, you must be willing to sacrifice comfort. Most sleep in, not because their bodies are crying for rest, but because it FEELS GOOD. In order to separate from the 99%, you often must be willing to do what DOESN’T feel good – what isn’t comfortable.

Would You Die For It?

DieForIt

I’d literally die for my family, if that meant they’d live to see another day! THAT’S drive, hunger … my reason for getting out of bed.

What belief, dream, or promise would you give your last breathe for? Make what you’re doing bigger than yourself – something that leaves a mark in your wake.

Success for self is empty success, but sacrificing for the people behind you or those who sacrificed before you … that’s genuine success.

When you wake up each morning, make it not about what you do, but rather, who you ARE!

2016 Olympics Is Her Guarantee

When we began working together, Nicole Davis was afraid of running in the front of the pack, separating herself from the majority … now she lives for it! She’s putting it all on the line – sacrificing and dedicating her entire being to the “guarantee” of 2016 Rio Olympics. 

The 99 tell her the Olympics won’t happen – it’s too tough, too much struggle, too big a dream. Nicole says, “I’m driven by what the 99 says can’t be done!”
