Hey [MM_Member_Data name=’firstName’] , I’m sure you’ve asked yourself many times, What do I need to do to be successful? What are people doing that have more success than me? Can I do it? If I make it, how I will be able to stay there? Is it luck?
All of these questions are a part of the normal process of becoming more. But too many people stay there and are afraid of what success will look like, or, more often, are afraid to fail at it.
But if we look at it at another point of view, how can you fail at something before even trying? For me, that’s the real failure. I think that’s what makes the big difference between saying nothing about somebody else, and simply looking at someone and saying, “Damn, that guy has such an impact on others,” “He’s so much more,” “He’s a beast,” etc.
Basically, the main difference is not the skills, not the potential, intelligence or whatever that person is good at it. It’s the action he will take using these assets. It’s the actions he will take, day by day, because he’s afraid of more.
And you might be thinking now, “Marc, you just said that you shouldn’t be afraid!”
Everyone has a fear of something, and that’s a good thing because fear will push us further if we use it in the right way. What I fear the most is not trying and failing, but rather the opposite — not trying to create the world that I have in my mind, and what I have in my imagination.
I’m a big believer that you have to create what you envision in the world to feel happiness and fulfillment. If your expectations match your results you will feel incredible. And the process to reach a goal is even greater after a couple of times you’ve achieved great things, because you start to understand what you need to do to get it.
I know it sounds easy, but I guarantee you will struggle during the process because of all the obstacles you will face, and all the pressure of people who will try to put you down because they don’t believe they can do it, so in their mind, you can’t.
“Your imagination is like a boat and you are in control of it. Hold onto the helm of your ship because this world is full of big waves and you can sink at any moment if you are not fighting to go to your destination”. — Marc Fitt
So, what’s it take?
•The courage to start
•The fortitude to grind every day — inspire yourself every morning, night, and whenever else you have to
•Keep your faith alive
•Follow your vision and positivism, not the negativism of your peers
•Make a plan of action (the big picture of how to reach it)
•Plan your day with tasks that will bring you closer to what you want to achieve
•Stay focused
•Study people who have success and learn from them, especially the ones who have reached what you want
I could write an entire book on this subject, but I think this letter should help you start and awaken you to your dream, [MM_Member_Data name=’firstName’].
Hi Marc! Heres support from Europe,Slovakia I think you dont even know where it is haha :) Anyway i rlly like your Vlogs and training videos.But now im off for 2 and half months because illness with lounges and im depressed but your videos keeping hope in me :)
Thx a lot!
Oww ! C’est exactement un coach comme toi que nous avons tous besoin, pour améliorer nos performances et arriver à atteindre nos objectifs… Merci beaucoup de donner la possibilité d’avoir un aperçu de tes workouts, etc… Ici, à Tahiti, la plupart de mes amis se mettent au street workout et prennent la Whey, ou d’autres produits… Personnellement, je n’ai pas envie d’en prendre tant que je n’ai pas l’avis et un suivi d’un coach. Surement dans à peu près 4 ans, je m’inscrirais à tes entrainements (je prévois de poursuivre mes études à l’ HEC Montréal).
Thank You so much, and never give up :)
Merci pour le bon feedback man, la whey peu être un vraiment bon supplément si tu cherches vraiment à développer et donner ce que ton corps a besoin après un entrainement.
I added a link with an article about it. I think it will help you a lot.
Thanks Marc for the letter, it motivate me to continue, and when I read it I cried for the happiness and the power of will inside me… Everything is possible. And I will continue my journey believing in my self. Thanks again Marc, you are really a great person!
Thanks for replying and giving such a good feeedback. It’s mean a lot to me.
Stay strong and have an amazing day.
May Your Kindness Return to You in the same beautiful way it was offered. Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to watch your great future workouts. You are my idol.
thanks brother for the support and comment! Keep up the good work.
Marc you really motivated me to get what I want…I really dreamed of getting a body like you. But I know it’s not easy. So your website could be the platform for me to start. Tq Marc..
Hi Shahrul, thanks for commenting and for the sick feedback I appreciate it and stay tuned for the upcoming stuff in 2014!!
hi marc. im the bigger fans of you, can you tell me what is the name your hair cut? thankyou :)
Hey marc great article, I’m motivated to get in shape because everyone in the past said I could never do it. Since then i have been motivated to be a better person, mentally and physically, I started going to the gym at 5:30 Monday to Friday and even started doing yoga. I’ve never felt better and now starting your lift more series, it’s awesome. Marc you have inspired so many people, I love your attitude and outlook on life. Out of everyone that I have followed in regards to fitness you are pretty much number 1 on my list I say pretty much because I have to give insane credit to steve cook, but between you and him you give me the knowledge to push myself in the gym.
Thank you Nathan for the awesome comment! It mean a lot to me and I will keep working hard. keep working hard and stay awesome!
what i actually was saying was that thank you your vlog really will help me in the future in the gym and in my bussines also thanks again

I totally agree with this Marc, I’ve had great success and great failure as well but having experienced both is much better than not experiencing anything at all in my opinion because without experiences we don’t grow to be able to accept the next great success. As Winston Churchill said, “never, NEVER give up”
We all live on a slight edge, if we live 51% of the time being negative that will be our result in life but if we live 51% or more of our life in a positive way we find success and we are in control of our own destiny. If you possess 51% of the shares in a company you control the direction of the company! Your life is the same… Thanks for reminding me Marc … Adrian
Thank you Adrian for the nice comment! I understand what you mean completely. Keep up the good work and talk you soon :)
Hey marc, really big fan. So far you have inspired me to become something great. I was a skinny geek who got pushed around in high school, and had a few girlfriends but most of then would leave me for a bigger guy. I weighed 109. After high school, I decided to change my self. And so far with just four months I went from 118 to 141! Now I have arms, abs, chest, legs, obliques, and back. But I entered YouTube and saw one of your videos I became a fan. I just need some of your help. I too want to achieve greatest. I want to keep growing. I want to improve more. I don’t have enough money to buy your membership. But it would be nice if I got a message from you on your facebook page.
Thanks
E.F
That’s awesome Eric, you are on the right way if you stay inspired like that. I think I have answer one of your email…
keep working hard and stay awesome!
