Alex Hormozi shared this story, this metaphor,
Often, people lay a few bricks and, seeing no immediate progress, abandon the bridge to start anew elsewhere. This results in multiple incomplete bridges and no path to success."
Today I want to talk about crackers.
I’m a trained nutritionist, and I love talking about food.
Over the years, I’ve learned that food teaches us much more than what’s on our plate.
Every time you eat, you change your body and mind from the inside out.
Your blood chemistry changes. Your brain chemistry changes. Your emotions shift. You make different decisions. You take different actions. (Heck, there are entire books written about it - "This is your brain on food".)
But today isn’t about food.
For a while, I noticed my hunger was all over the place. I blamed it on my workload, the winter here in South Africa, maybe some “supplement deficiency”...
Until I ran some numbers and realized - I wasn’t eating enough of one essential nutrient: Omega-6 fats.
So I picked up some seed crackers.
A day later?
No more crazy hunger.
Focus back to top-notch.
Energy stable.
Mood stable (so stable, it feels weird).
Even lost some weight - because I wasn’t eating mindlessly.
And here’s where it gets bigger than crackers.
In life and business, sometimes the real problem isn’t that complicated.
You’re not broken.
You’re just missing one key piece.
Finding it, though, is a challenge.
Getting the right feedback.
Asking for outside eyes.
Learning from people who’ve done it already.
It speeds up the search.
One thing.
Be ready to bruise your ego.
Be ready to work hard (unlike eating crackers) to find and fix that missing piece.
