I regret number 3 instantly

Before you get into bed with me (metaphorically) and buy Diamond Dogs, you should probably know me a little better.

I’ve invited 5 men into the foundation round.

Men I thought were right for it.

Mid 40s.
Working too much.
Sacrificing their health for too long.
Ready to do something about it.

They’re signed up instantly as they know me. One even said how weird the timing was for him. 

Needing some clarity and direction in his life right now.

The manuals are on the way.

And there’s a gift coming too.

There are 5 foundation memberships available.

Then I’m closing this intake so I can get everyone through it properly, refine the program, and make sure every man gets incredible results. Once they sell it will be months before it's open again.

You’ll be able to sign up later.

But the price will go up. 

So before you decide, here’s your first date with Dave:

1) What movie did you watch way too many times as a kid?

2) What was the first car you really wanted?

3) What’s one thing from the 90s you wish still existed?

4) What did you collect as a kid?

5) What was your dream job before life got sensible?

6) What was the first concert you went to?

7) Where did you go on your first date with your current partner?

I quit Instagram and the news for a week.

Here’s what happened....

Have you ever noticed how much of your attention gets taken before the day has even really started?

You check Instagram for a minute. Then suddenly you are looking at what everyone else is doing. What they are building. Where they are going. How fit they look. How successful they seem.

And without even realising it, you have been pulled away from your own stuff.

→ Your own work.

→ Your own family.

→ Your own health.

→ Your own goals.

I was doing this constantly. Not always for hours at a time. But enough that it was stealing little pieces of my focus every day.

And the news was doing something similar.

Have you ever read one headline and then felt your body tense up? I even sold a bunch of shares based off what I read.

World events. Bad news. Drama. Arguments. Things you cannot control.

And then you carry that stress into your work, your training, your family, or your clients.

That was happening to me more than I realised.

So I took Instagram and the news off my phone for a week.

And honestly, I feel clearer than I have in ages.

→ More focused.

→ More energised.

→ More productive.

→ More present.

This week I built more of the Diamond Dogs course, which is going to help men in their mid 40s get clear, healthy, focused and proud of their life again.

I created the course manual.

I planned my 14 habits in 14 days email list for over 40s.

I coached better in class.

I felt more present with people.

And I helped clients hit PBs in deadlifts and pull ups.

And it did not come from adding another complicated routine.

It came from removing something that was stealing my attention.

So maybe the question is not always:

What do I need to add?

Maybe sometimes the better question is:

What do I need to remove that is stealing my focus and energy?

This is one of the habits I’ll be sharing in my new email list coming soon:

14 habits in 14 days for men over 40.

Simple habits to help rebuild your body, energy, focus and calm.

Link will be up next week.
