“Always be yourself 100% because if you can't be yourself, you're not going to get into work.” —Erving Gutierrez
To achieve great things, half measures simply won't cut it. We have to be willing to go all in and give our absolute maximum effort at every step of the journey. And this requires making sacrifices, pushing past discomfort, and persevering even during tough times. If we want to be the best we can be every day, we must be willing to leave no stone unturned in the relentless pursuit of our potential.
In today's episode, we explore what it takes to fully commit to the bodybuilding lifestyle with our guest, Erving Gutierrez. Erving has recently competed in two shows within one year— an impressive feat that required an immense amount of dedication. Listen in as Erving shares his journey into bodybuilding and what motivated him to take on such an ambitious competition schedule.
Sherrie and Erving also discuss the mental and physical challenges of preparing for back-to-back shows, how drawing on inner strength and support from others can help us persevere, and the importance of commitment and sacrifice to achieve our goals.
