To simplify what you and I stated.. I always knew "What I should do, and what I have to do" That was never the issue. The issue was "How". How do I focus and grind out the daily tasks I need to do, every day? How do I tell my friends No, without being bummed out? How do I hit the gym when I'm tired, How do I turn down free doughnuts?... Executing, discipline, integrity, focus, resilience, perseverance.. These are learned skills that I never really mastered... Because I was always under the leadership of others... Luckily I found 75hard, which teaches you these skills via bootcamp. Except it's harder because YOU are YOUR own drill sergeant... Which is absolutely true in the real world.I actually have to agree with this, some of us aren't born/raised/equipped to pull it off. Add personalities or other things like ADHD, and just "getting up and doing what we should" while still trying to do everything else is not something everyone is equipped to or prepared to manage.
I needed the structure of someone else's program or challenge, and the physical is an easy way to help people develop that. In this particular case, Andy had his businesses rolling before he came up with 75, he didn't need it to build a business, he needed it to keep his own health a priority, so canme up with his own little challenge, and when he shared it, well, others jumped on the bandwagon because they needed to learn more self discipline than they had as well.
No, it's not for everyone, and the cult following is sometimes hilarious, but to throw the entire premise out because "you" didn't need it is narrow minded imo.
Between several rounds of this, and my power list, I feel equipped to take things into my own hands and keep running with it, but I can promise I NEVER would have figured it out on my own, or learned as much about myself and how to deal with my own short comings, what does and doesn't work for me in such a limited amount of time without those two things.
I would never have read MJ's book if it wasn't for 75 either..... because I always viewed self development books as frufru bs and never went to that book section to begin with....
It may not be for "you," and "you" may not need it, but it has definitely helped some of us figure some stuff out other things simply didn't drill into our heads the same way.
