Why I Don't Want To Be Famous

Today on my Instagram live someone asked me a question:

"How can I get more followers? I love being inspirational to people."

Here's the thing, being famous should never be the goal.

Fame is a byproduct of value.

That value can be athletic skill, comedy, education and many other things.

I hit 200k followers on instagram the other day.

Not because I want to be famous but because I want to help people transform their body and change their life.

That's why I do Instagram lives, Q & A's, post daily and reply to most messages and comments.

If I wanted to be famous I would be trying to sell you workouts that didn't work but 'looked cool on insta'.

I'd be pushing 'quick fixes'.

There's people with double, triple and even 10x the following I have but a fraction of the integrity and honesty.

The stuff that really matters long term.

Anyway, I digress...

The biggest problem with book writers being famous, or being complete trash, is not how good their writing is, it's if they have something worth reading to say.

The most famous people we know are often the most skilled, therefore hardest working at their craft.

THEIR CRAFT.

If you want to be inspirational, focus on how you will inspire people.

If you want to be influential, focus on how you will influence people (not be an iNfLuEnCeR 😂).

If you want to be wealthy, focus on how you will accumulate your wealth.

If you want to be healthy, focus on what will make you healthy.

Increase your steps.

Work out regularly.

Eat more whole foods and less unprocessed foods.

Replace TV with night walks.

Replace sedentary phone calls with phone calls where you go for a walk.

These small steps will result in you being more healthy.

Just saying you want to be healthy leads to NOTHING.

If you say something and follow up without action, you have said nothing.


Trying to be healthy is like trying to be famous.

It's not about getting there, it's about what you do to get there.
