I am a firm believer that if you believe in something, nothing should stop you from going out and getting it. Be it physical or mental results for yourself, a business idea, or a cause you strongly believe in — we all have potential within. It just needs to be unlocked in the right way.

One example is the moment I met my wife, Juls. I know it’s a cliché, but I literally knew the moment I met her that I was going to spend the rest of my life with her. I did everything I could to make our long-distance relationship survive — and so did she. The rest is history. You could write a book on our journey over the last 10 years. I’m so thankful we fought for us. We are incredibly lucky.

Another moment… wasn’t a moment. It was the days and weeks of thinking that led to the idea of the Daily J. My old business partners and leadership team had gone very quiet on us, extremely distant — and I smelt a rat. Something was up. And I was right. We acted, took initiative, and launched a new product based on behaviour change through the pillars of exercise, nutrition, community, and leadership — and we rallied our community of supporters. The response was overwhelming. It gave me fire in the belly, and from then on I was like a dog to a bone.

We obsessed over community support (and still do) and helped them through that tricky period. It wasn’t about us — but we knew we could really help this community if we applied ourselves and were completely authentic and true to our values.

Since then, every month we’ve put our community first, listened to their needs, served them where they need to be served, bashed down doors, dealt with the external noise and the people trying to get in our way. It’s been great. I’ve personally embraced the challenge and, most importantly, loved seeing the community thrive and win in their own capacity.

The point is — I believe in what we’re doing. I believe we can do this for hundreds of thousands of people around the world. I believe we can truly make a difference. And nothing will stop this team of ours from getting to where we want to be. If you don’t want to listen, I’ll show you. I’ll turn you from a non-believer into a believer — through action and intent.

I want that same sort of belief to breathe through our team and community, no matter what our — or their — personal journeys are, or what they’re going through at any given point in time. There’s always someone in a worse-off position than you when things go bad.

Attack those challenging periods like a dog to a bone. You might be surprised by the outcome.

Huge love and high 5’s,
Johno

    Thank you for never giving up on me and my health issues. You taught me how to eat 3 healthy meals a day, after being on liquids for years. You daily nagging and support got me moving, after being told I might not walk again. You and your team made me realise how beautiful I am and made me accept whom I am. I owe you my life! Thank you.
