This week on BARBELL BUSINESS,  we’re talking about how to deal with frustrating relationships with people you work with, your partner, and mostly yourself. In this episode, we'll cover:

• Overcoming the hero complex
• The difference between a healthy striving for excellence and corrosive perfectionism
• How we deal with the toxic effects of being frustrated with your body, your achievements and your sense of worth.
• How you can tackle 2016’s goals with a new, growth-focused mindset.

This week on BARBELL BUSINESS, we discuss our new favorite book on leadership, Extreme Ownership, written by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. This is a book you and everyone on your team should read. Jock and Leif share hard-hitting, Navy SEAL combat stories that translate into lessons for business and life that work for both leaders and those who make up the team.

This is the perfect business book for someone who doesn't enjoy the traditional self-help style of writing. Jocko and Leif take you through riveting first-hand accounts of making high-pressure decisions as Navy SEAL battlefield leaders that translate into everyday business decisions quite seamlessly. 

In this show, we pull out a few of the points we believe gym owners can start to implement today.

Enjoy the show.
