I’m going through the daily check ins in my 1-1 coaching group
& I asked him whether he’s going to get his sessions done this week
To which he replied
“Hopefully”
That reply made me think
What does hopefully really mean
So I rang up Mr Google who told me something like this
“Hopefully: God willing, If everything turns out alright, With luck”
Damn… What a load of bullshit
In my honest & correct opinion hopefully is a poisonous word
Here’s why
Firstly lets be real about it
No willing from anyone including god is going to do it for us
Believe it or not thats a fact
Secondly everything NEVER turns out alright
We all know there’s bumps in the road on every journey
& finally luck.. If you’ve read my emails long enough you’ll know I don’t believe in luck one bit
Like Conor McGregor I’m a believer in hard work
Not relying on some uncontrollable twist of fate to help us
“Make your own luck” You can quote King Ken Duharty (my dad) for that one
So to me “hopefully” is a poisonous word
Just like “maybe”
As guys we should all know that when you ask a chick out or your partner a question & the reply is “yeah maybe”
There’s not a snowballs chance in hell of it actually happening
Hopefully & maybe are poisonous words
& if you catch yourself saying them it’s worth taking a moment to think
** Think about whether you’re actually committed to what you’re talking about
** Think about whether you actually already know you’re not going to what you’ve just said hopefully or maybe to
** & think about whether if that is the truth should you just be honest & say that instead
See if my man in the group yesterday had said “I actually don’t think I’ll be able to do that”
We would have found a solution for his problems
I could have put his sessions into 2 or 3 full body sessions
I could have adjusted the exercises & made them shorter
Or even provided some bodyweight session alternatives for him to do
After all I’m his personal coach & its what he pays me for
& none of that would have been a problem
I know things are tough out there
Which is why I COACH the guys I work with in both of the groups I run
& don’t just take they’re money give them some plans & leave them to do what they’ve done before
Fail

PS
Just so you know my man who definitely hasn’t used “hopefully” much when building his head hunting business up in London
Changed his “hopefully” to a “definitely”
I’m just waiting for him to confirm whether thats realistic or not
PSS
In the online COACHING groups I run results are guaranteed or your money back
If you’re ready to join a small exclusive group of guys like you
All working to shift fat faster & forever
Set their confidence on fire & feel almost unstoppable
