Introduction
Like many people, I came from humble beginnings. I grew up in a very small town in Northern Ontario, Canada, with two working-class parents who, more than anything else, instilled in me the value of having a strong work ethic.
 
I remember coming home from school as a kid with a 90 percent in math and my mother being disappointed. I was naturally gifted at math, so I never had to study. She told me that she wasn’t proud of my grade because I didn’t work for it. I also remember coming home with a 65 percent in geography and her telling me how proud she was because she knew I’d tried my hardest. I’d studied. The point here is that my mother never focused on the end result. She focused on the amount of work it took to get there. She noticed and rewarded work ethic. And it made me notice and reward it, too.
 
As I grew older, those lessons she taught me formed the basis of the person I am today.
 
I was never a naturally gifted athlete. In fact, I was quite the opposite. I was always the last picked for every team I tried out for, and I was bullied in elementary school and during my first few years of high school. I was uncoordinated, shy, and weak, both mentally and physically. Many of the people I’ve met in my lifetime have had a hard time believing that I wasn’t an athlete. They look at me and make certain assumptions. They see me as supremely confident, a great speaker, and successful in all I do. The reality is that inside of me is a kid who got bullied on the bus ride to school, who was called names, and who was terrified to give public speeches.
 
My story of personal growth and change started when I was 14 years old. You will learn about it in the first section of this book, but without the work ethic my mother instilled in me, none of my successes would have ever happened.
 
Because of that work ethic, I’ve had many incredible life experiences. I’ve fought and been victorious in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, I was a highly decorated police officer in the city of Toronto, I’m directly responsible for the success of one of the very best gyms on the entire planet, Gym Jones, and I even have a shoe named after me. I remember dreaming about that when, as a child, I got my first pair of Jordans, and thinking how amazing it would be to have a shoe with my name on it. It feels even better than I imagined. Dreams can come true, but you have to work hard.
 
During my years as an athlete and a professional, I have worked for every accolade I have received, but don’t think I didn’t look for shortcuts. When you are dedicated, when you are driven and passionate, you’ll look for any way to be more successful. I have bought numerous exercise books, spent more money at the nutrition store than anyone should, ordered products advertised on television, and tried every so-called magic exercise that was ever invented. I worked my ass off to find the “secret,” and I am writing this book to tell you that the thing I learned is that there is no secret. There is no magic pill. You can’t make three easy payments of $9.99 and hope to wake up fit. There’s no easy way to get what you really want. You have to work.
 
Millions of people a year go through a cycle of trying to get fit, making very little progress, and regressing back to where they started. Why? They focus on the wrong things.
 
Some people believe that fitness is merely a physical thing. That if you simply go to the gym and eat a little better, you will achieve your goals. I believe the opposite. I believe that real, genuine fitness starts in your mind. It is one of the reasons that there is such an emphasis on psychology in this b…
