Burn your boats.


In the 1519 Spanish conquest of Mexico, the Spanish commander Hernán Cortés is rumored to have ordered his army to burn the boats that they arrived at the shore on - leaving them with two options...


Victory or death.


In life, business, fitness, or even health, we often leave ourselves with a way out... an escape route.


And this can lead to a lack of commitment to the task at hand.


When you burn your boats, you leave yourself with no option but to move forward.


A leap of faith of sorts.


I thought I would share this with you as a matter of days ago I was faced with a choice where I had to take a leap of faith, and all I could think was "burn your boats"...


My boat is on fire and the commitment has been made, so the only option is for it to succeed.






Do you want to take me on as a coach?



I spent over two eyars writing the most comprehensive guide to intermittent fasting, and you'll find it on your local Amazon!
