Why I Give Everything 90 Days — And Why You Should Too

What happens to your standards when life stops cooperating with your plans?

As Funk records this week's Mindset Monday, he's getting ready to head out for another procedure on his back.

It wasn't part of the plan.

But that's exactly the point.

Life happened.

Your back acts up. Work gets crazy. You travel. You don't sleep well. A family responsibility appears. You get injured. You get sick. Motivation disappears.

If your health and habits only work when life is perfect, they're eventually going to fail.

In this episode, Funk explains why he gives workouts, nutrition plans, habits and major lifestyle changes 90 days—not because there's anything magical about 90 days, but because 90 days gives life enough time to happen. edit-mindset-monday-13-life-on-…

You'll learn why consistency doesn't mean executing the same perfect plan every day. It means continuing in the same direction while adapting to what life puts in front of you.

The 30-60-90 Principle

30 days can show you what you CAN do.

60 days can show you what you're BECOMING.

90 days shows you whether you can LIVE it. edit-mindset-monday-13-life-on-…

Your Alpha Action

Choose ONE thing you're willing to commit to for the next 90 days.

Then write:

My Ideal Standard: __________

My Minimum Standard When Life Happens: __________

Don't try to create 90 perfect days.

Create standards capable of surviving 90 real days. edit-mindset-monday-13-life-on-…

Funk Wisdom

“Don't build a plan that requires the perfect life. Build standards that can survive the real one.”

The plan can bend.

The standard doesn't have to disappear.

Adapt. Reset. Keep moving forward.

GET IT DONE!
