Strategy-Life Fit: why smart, dedicated, disciplined people struggle to get results.

At the Investor/Startup Padel Tournament yesterday, someone asked me a question I get all the time:
“How do you stay in this kind of shape with your schedule?”

People expect some secret routine or exotic supplement. But the answer is actually quite boring: I’ve got a strategy that fits my life, and I run it consistently. Sleep, food, movement, stress - nothing revolutionary. A good health strategy-life fit.

Where people go wrong is not discipline. It’s design.
You follow a diet you hate. You pick a workout you dread. You try to copy someone else’s routine. And when it doesn’t work, you decide you must be the problem.

You’re not.

My clients get results with me that they couldn't get before is for this exact reason - I help them find THEIR strategy-life fit.

It’s like giving a startup the wrong go-to-market strategy and then blaming the founders when revenue doesn’t grow. Wrong blueprint → no result.

I’m in that lesson myself right now.

My business isn’t delivering consistent results yet, not because my work doesn’t work (there are whole industries built on this), but because I haven’t cracked my right strategy. The one I can execute daily without friction.

When the strategy fits, consistency becomes easy.
When it doesn’t, consistency feels impossible.

I see this with clients all the time.
Smart, capable people who have all the pieces: the knowledge, the motivation, the discipline. What they don’t have is a way to assemble those pieces into something that works in the reality of their life: their job pressure, their energy levels, their family logistics, their environment, their habits, their internal wiring.

That’s what coaching gives you:
A different set of eyes.
A smarter feedback loop.
A system that makes consistency possible.
A strategy tailored to you, not to an imaginary ideal version of you.

And once the strategy works?
It pays returns for life - predictable, compounding, boring-in-the-best-way results.

Over to you dear reader,
Are you really lacking discipline? Or do you just need a strategy you can actually live with?
