How to profit from fitness feats, or world records?

[Shono]

What do you think of livestreaming your world-record attempts on several different social platforms simultaneously?

Host on Youtube live, TikTok live, Instagram live, and Twitch all at the same time.

You will gather an audience of fans regardless of whether you successfully break records or not.

HA! With commentary? That sounds like a pretty interesting idea and I'd love to do that if it had interest lol

Also, next time I will try for 17 to 20 repetitions of the sally up challenge then from there hopefully no one can overcome that record and i will focus next on the plank... training continues

I really appreciate this, I think this is as about as tall a praise as someone can receive. Although I feel I have much to conquer from this point forward, and hopefully I can and laugh back at the state I am in right now.

I'm telling you: you're on the right path.

Step by step you will conquer everything and you will achieve the life that you want. One good decision at a time.

Good luck, and keep us updated on your progress!

Hey man, congrats again on absolutely smashing that Flower challenge. We used to do it quite often in the cadets, and I've only seen one guy who did it 3 times in a row. What you did is truly impressive. Keep grinding!

My ultimate dream is to become someone who can help others quit horrible addictions like video games/porn/alcohol because I suffered with those for a cumulative 20 year period, but I feel like that is something that has to come after I've already established myself, not the first thing I pursue, so I want to become successful first to show it can be done despite being set back so far. That is my goal in life as it stands.

I think your mission is amazing. Having a goal bigger than yourself is honorable, especially at a young age, where most of us are selfish bastards. I recently listened to this episode of Andy Frisella's podcast, and the guest he had on built a huge business that helps drug addicts recover from addiction. I recommend this podcast to everyone who's in business, but this episode specifically has some very valuable info that could potentially help you get a better idea of what's possible in the addiction industry.

The episode is split in two parts.
PART 1: 493. Part 1 - Entrepreneurial Requirements Ft. Eric Spofford
PART 2: 493. Part 2 - Entrepreneurial Requirements Ft. Eric Spofford

I hope you'll take the time to listen to it, these guys are out there saving lives!

Btw I thought Droopynips wasn't that bad hahaha

Hello CEO of Money,

Thank you very much for your kind words. I will keep grinding, it is tough out there at times, but for me I realize now my perceived deficits may as well be 95% mental. I need to stay positive and stay on a forward trajectory instead of getting all jacked up on the past, or rather I'll rewrite it as a gift that happened to empower me rather than burden me.

I already like Andy Frisella's podcast, so I will check out episode 493 as you recommended and get back with what I think. I don't want my goal to seem lofty, and I think resolving addiction isn't a one man enterprise, we are all in this together.

As for droopynips. Yes I kind of miss that name, if I'm 100% honest.

Thank you, CEO of Money!

As for the flower challenge, I will attempt it again this month sometime with a goal of 20 repetitions, I hope it will go well. CHEERS!

A very solid reminder... Thank you

It's so easy to veer off course and lose track, and usually when that happens you are truly alone, and finding your way when you are alone, AND also so behind, is probably the most painful and humbling thing anyone can experience.

1) You're not alone. Start making friends with people in the forum. When it seems appropriate, take it to PM, and then to Zoom.

Tip: start PMs with "Thanks for ..."

Whenever someone follows me I send a message saying "Thanks for following", then I ask "How're things going? Andy".

2) You're not behind. We're each on our own journey.

You may be behind. But you are not alone.

We're all here for you.

I know perfectly well what it feels like to miss the train. Watching your opportunities go away because of you lack of wisdom. Being in a gold mine, but being too stupid to understand how lucky you are and that now it's the time to take massive action.

But guess what.

All the pain has been transformed into the most profound life lesson, something that I repeat to myself every single day:

Your life is you making.
The way you do it is the way it happens.

If you do good things, good things will happen. If you do stupid things, stupid things will happen. A->B. Cause and effect. It's really that simple.

You can't change the past (mainly because it only exists in our memory, not in reality) . But right now, in this very moment, you are creating your future.

How tomorrow and the next moment will look like, is something that you will decide right now. Whether or not you are aware of this fact.

So let's leave the shame, guilt, and regrets aside, and let's get back to work, because the future is bright.

This was an interesting podcast, but Eric seems disingenuous to me for some reason. His story doesn't add up in the way he claims. He said all he did was bootstrap himself with hard work to succeed, yet the fact he magically got $150k to buy a 3 bedroom house when his 'life was falling apart' at 23, after just coming over homelessness, then was somehow able to buy another one a year later despite claiming he was making 0 income other than 'covering living expenses' seems extremely fishy to me.

Today I did the sally up challenge again, this time for 16 repetitions.

View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlEWUNV2Xzs


I think that is for sure the record now, although I wished I could have kept going for the 1 hour mark but my hands were on fire. Anyway, on to next things...

This is truly incredible. You sir, are a beast. Well done! Well done!

Damn! How far we’ve come from when you first joined the forum. Now you are schooling us on how to achieve goals.

Edit: that puddle of sweat… omg.

 

[Shono]

Now you are schooling us on how to achieve goals.

I have much to do in terms of achieving goals . This to me is just for fun. Real goals, please teach me.

Good job. Someone with an active reddit account, post it on /r/Fitness/.
Just so it isn't marked as "self-promotion," if you post it yourself.

That constant sweat dripping from your face, plus the fact that the sun was shining on your legs.

Respect ++

 

[BizyDad]

Real goals, please teach me.

Stop separating goals into real and not real.

This to me is just for fun.

Start thinking of all goals as fun.

Lesson over.

The background music and your facial expression hyped me up and I got off my chair and went into a muscle-flexing binge.

I had to go to the barbell and perform one set of squats to failure to calm down.


Congratulations @Shono

Apply the same grit to business and you will win every day of the week. You will be unstoppable.

Just start. Anything.

Squats to failure is my nightmare, respect.

Thank you, and I pray you are right. I need to start something soon, no more time to waste. Finding what to pursue still eludes me.

 

[Andy Black]

I need to start something soon, no more time to waste. Finding what to pursue still eludes me.

You already started.

You have the raw product... you, your feats, your story, your goals. You're already inspiring people following you in just this thread. Imagine thousands or hundreds of thousands of people also watched that video? Would they be similarly impressed and inspired?

I'm sure if more people saw your videos you'd blow up. So now you "just" need to get more people to see your videos.

IMO, you're now into the realms of marketing your product and getting it in front of more people. Figure out how to do this for this particular product (your personal brand doing fitness feats), and that's a skill no-one can take from you, that you can apply to other products, and that others may pay handsomely for.

I replied to your latest video on YouTube to help engagement there. I'll repeat it here. Well done changing your channel name to your name. Can you change your avatar to a photo of you too? Can you add "Sally Up" to the thumbnail? Can you do the next one as a live stream and encourage people to join in and maybe challenge you as a relay team?

I think it's good you wore a vest in this one btw. It shows the tone in your arms which the ladies might like and which the guys might aspire to have.

For everyone following this thread and supporting Shono. Have you Liked and replied to the latest video? Is there anyone you know who'd be impressed or inspired by it? Can you share it with them?

I'm curious what @BigRomeDawg, @mikecarlooch, and @Fox think.

 

[Andy Black]

I don't have a Reddit account. Has anyone posted this yet?

Why is this video still only on 70 views?

Are there big YouTubers who do reaction videos? Can we forward this video to them?

What would Joe Rogan say if he saw this? How do we get it in front of him?

F*ck it.

@Shono... I'll put $5/day YouTube Ad spend behind it for a couple of weeks. I'm not great at YouTube ads and this could help me learn while helping you. Maybe it will work for Google Ads too. I'll check that as well.

Reply if you're up for it and I'll set the wheels in motion.

That is absolutely insane. I don’t even know what to say. Firstly, I don’t think I can take your money like that, I would at the very least reimburse you for any effort and expense on your part. I am out right now, but I will message you once I am home.

This forum really is incredible, the amount of positivity and abundance is really new to me, and inspiring.

Just. Say. Yes.

Andy doesn't need your money. He is spending money to learn something new and is excited about the project. This might not go anywhere and you would get nothing but he will still have gained knowledge.

Don't pay it back, pay it forward someday.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one here who likes "cool projects", is willing to do "something for nothing", and put up my own cash to help someone get started.

I'll correct this slightly:

To this:

I tried on r/Fitness that has 11 million followers and was rejected as they don't take links. R/Pushups which is tiny one was rejected. Was able to get it to stick on r/GymMotivation which is 350kish.

@Shono

Please don't use the Droopynips/profile pic combo.

I think the pic can changed to a better one. Even using your real name in those places. Listen and consider.

the droopynips is my brand always has been i wont know what else to use tbh

You'll find something else easily. Free yourself from Droopynips and you'll find something else easily.

Get it verified. Break this record. Break another record. Break the plank record (Which by the way you still need a lot of work on).

I think this advice is business. This is turning it legit. Turning it official. Something of the kind. Like winning Gold in Olympics. You become a world record holder. The epitome of something.

Change your channel avatar to a picture of your face.

Change your channel name to your name somehow.

This is it. Drive them to yourself. It's your personality in a way. Like a great basketballer uses their real name.

You have an opportunity of smashing MJs CENTS with this superb abilities. Leveraging millions who watch your videos to achieve it.

Hey man

Biggups.

I don't think this community can get any better than this.

This is like a beacon of light and positivity, in a world filled with 0 sum minded people, wanting to grab and pull you back into the F*cking crab bucket.

Remember the statistics on being rich and happy, the ones that say that money is strongly correlated with happiness? I've learned this on the @Kak radio show.

It's happening because successful people are also good people. That's F*cking why.

High quality people end up living high quality lives. End of story.
Our life is truly a reflection of who we are.

I think it’s more correlated to a purpose driven life than someone blown around in whatever direction. The money is an effect not a cause.

But yes! The rich are happier with their work. They’re happier with their relationships too.

The biggest correlation was locus of control IMO. Strong internal makes people feel like they matter. Strong external makes people feel like they don’t.

I saw the awesomeness of this community today. A community that truly, honestly, appreciate real value. Anyone will find a warm home here if they provide value. The support is amazing. Lots of givers in here.

God bless you all.

I worked much like the whole day and was tired but wanted to continue. It is now 10pm in Uganda. But I felt tired an unable to continue. I wanted to sleep.

Then I decided to check the TFF. I kept seeing @Shono headlining here and there. Got hold of the thread and BOOM! . The guy is making everyone's day.

@Shono this thread you started has made my day. I got more fuel and knocked a chapter I wanted to postpone till later.

Feel more energised to knock off another before I go to bed.

In the morning I did 70 push-ups in 3 sets of 35, 20 and 15 and 70 squats in sets of 50 and 20.

Maybe at some point I will be doing 200.

I appreciate you. I mean it. I am not one to put myself out there really, but for you to go out of your way to do that, very kind of you. I feel bad, as I haven’t had much to offer back, hopefully one day if I become successful I can but, but for now I am immensely grateful.

The crab in the bucket mentality is so true, it appals me personally as recently I have encountered hypocritical full grown adults be condescending, and gossip, and try to be holier than thou, whilst placing their values only on completely superficial things. The typical shallow consumerist 'spend money to impress those who don't care,' while simultaneously trying to belittle others. Sometimes the more I interact new people, my hope in humanity wanes, but this forum has been a refreshing wellspring.

The biggest correlation was locus of control IMO.

I read somewhere that happiness is about 20% genetic, 30% circumstantial, and 50% based on ones own autonomy / ones ability to have control over their life, so it rings true. Although it makes sense also that people who are passionate about what they do generally have more breadth of experience, are more creative, more well rounded individuals. Also wisdom should translate to happiness I think, and experience leads to that.

@Shono this thread you started has made my day. I got more fuel and knocked a chapter I wanted to postpone till later.

Your post, and those of others here have made my day. I am honoured to hear I made any sort of positive impact to you. Good work on the pushups and squats, those are some very impressive numbers. Keep working hard and thanks for the positivity.
