Motivation 101: The Secret to On-Demand Motivation

Dream or Results.png

Ramon felt really hopeless because he couldn’t get out of bed.

He wanted to exercise and get in shape because he gained some weight and couldn’t fit his clothes anymore.

He was really self conscious.

He tried everything to get motivated:

  • reading inspiring quotes

  • watching motivational videos and

  • taking advice from anyone he could

But Ramon was stressed and overwhelmed because the motivational videos and quotes proved to be unreliable.

Ramon didn't like that he wasn't able to get motivated when he needed it most.

But then one day everything changed.

Ramon discovered a way to force himself out of bed, even though he wasn't motivated.

He called it The Pain and Gain Technique.

That means Ramon does not have to spend any more days looking for motivational videos or inspirational quotes.

He has the power to produce his own motivation at the snap of his fingers.

And guess what? Now you can too!
