4 MUSCLE & FITNESS/JULY 2019

FROM THE CEO BY NICK ORTON

Anything but

average....

Y

ou and I are

surrounded by

people who take

the easy option.

The path of least resistance.

Which ever way gets it over

or close to the line – sounds

sensible? Why bother with

the stress and strain of

doing a great job and

achieving your best when

you can take it easy and

still tick the box. The world

is full of these people, often

referred to as ‘average’.

My worst nightmare.

I wonder what these

people think they are here

for. Maybe they are

dreamers who think it’s easy

to win, or just prefer the lazy

option because it takes less

effort. Whatever it is, it’s not

my mode of operation.

I want to leave a mark,

I want to build and be proud

of my achievements; I want

to earn respect and enjoy

the spoils of my hard work.

People like us don’t rest

much because we have

things to achieve. Anyone

can do this, with the right

attitude.

I just returned from

a business trip overseas.

I took seven flights in ten

days so that I could

maximise the opportunity.

It was tough, but nothing

worth having comes easy.

I pushed myself hard and

it has resulted in more jobs

being created, more

opportunities for athletes,

more income for my

business. I can look back

on that trip and be proud

of myself. I could not

have done more, I could

not have worked harder.

Job done!

Everyone has the ability

to push themselves to do

their best, it’s all about the

attitude – whatever you

want to achieve in life, you

can be sure that if it’s more

than average, you are going

to have to work harder than

average...how much harder

is down to you. Reach for

the sky.
