Get Mentally TOUGH, Achieve Your Goals and Do The IMPOSSIBLE By Doing This TRICK | James Lawrence

When you sit back allow yourself to really dream, often the dream you have is beautiful but it’s also big, a little scary, and intimidating. Big dreams and big goals feel nearly impossible. It’s hard to fathom how you’re supposed to get from where you are in this moment to this far away goal that’s hard to conceptualize. James “Iron Cowboy” Lawrence completed 50 consecutive Iron-Distance Triathlons covering 7,030 miles with 0.24% of those miles completed indoors due to inclement weather. He joins Tom and breaks down the backlash he got for doing less than 17 miles indoors, and reveals the real mental fortitude and personal challenges he faced that lead him to deciding on completing 100 consecutive Iron-Distance Triathlons this time, plus one. James talks about what it really means to do hard things, and how the secret of achieving your goals is in the journey, the failures, and the lessons that prepare you for the actual goal. He’s opening up about what his post-recovery has become and the challenges he’s overcoming for that as well.  Order the Iron Cowboy’s book, Redefining Impossible: https://amzn.to/3k4XhFQ Check out James’ 1st Interview with Tom, Push Past Pain: https://youtu.be/cgU7abzvSQk  SHOW NOTES:  1:02 | Why Do the Hard Things 7:10 | 100% Physical & 100% Mental 13:56 | Goals Change Perspective 20:08 | Confront Your Weakness 24:59 | 101 Iron-Distance Triathlons 42:10 | Set Your Own Standards 52:57 | Why Do 1 More Than 100 58:37 | Post-Recovery Stage  Follow James Lawrence: Website: https://www.ironcowboy.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/IronCowboyJames Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IronCowboy/ Check out our sponsors:  Athletic Greens: Go to athleticgreens.com/impact and receive a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase!
