"The day you decide that it's going to be different, it will start being different. You have to decide. You have to decide to change you. The world isn't gonna change. You have to change."
What does it take to get back in championship shape at 69 years old? Del Walmsley found himself being questioned by amazed teenagers at the gym who couldn't believe his age or conditioning. But this isn't just a fitness story—it's a masterclass in the discipline principles that create success in every area of life, especially wealth building.
Del shares the pivotal moment when his professional bodybuilder daughter told her husband "you're not training, you're just going through the motions"—and how that observation revolutionized Del's approach to both fitness and finance. He reveals why knowing the right information is only 5% of success, while having the discipline to execute consistently is the other 95%. From building over 100 rental units to maintaining three beautiful koi ponds, Del proves that the same principles govern every area of excellence.
