I’m a very routine-driven guy.

Once I’ve found a routine that works for me, I stick to it as if my life depended on it.

But today, I felt a little adventurous…

Instead of hosting my workout in the afternoon—like I do almost every day—I decided to wake up early and hit a leg workout.

Just to try it out, ya know?

So, I packed my bags to head to the gym…

(Unlike most people, I actually enjoy leg day. I love squatting and deadlifting BIG weights that make me feel like the Incredible Hulk.)

And even in the morning… I felt highly motivated.

The workout started out great.

• Squats: 3×8 — easy

• Deadlift: 3×8 — no problemo

• Leg press: 3×12 — hell yeahhh

But then…

As it came time to lay down for some hamstring curls…

My head started spinning.

“Oh shit.”

And that’s when I realized…

I’d forgotten to EAT!!!

Because I usually only have breakfast at 11 AM … I’d totally forgotten to fill my stomach before the workout.

All of a sudden my stomach felt like a ball of fire.

It felt like that one time when I ate some 3-year-old tuna that I dug up in my fridge and ended up violently vomiting for 6 hours straight.

(It still tasted normal so don’t judge.)

But this time…

I was in the middle of a gym
filled with people!

Somehow, someway, I was able to complete my 3 sets of hamstring curls (although I did only half the reps).

I swiftly grabbed my phone & water bottle and sprinted back to the locker rooms.

I was able to catch a quick glance into the mirror and realized … ummm … I’m fucked.

I locked myself into one of the toilets and leaned over the bowl.

What happened next shocked me.

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

Nothing.

Nothing happened … I didn’t throw up … I didn’t even feel ill anymore.

“Phew… close one!”

I packed my bags and cycled back home (btw. can I get some respect for taking the bicycle after leg day?).

Now…

I can hear you say: “Boooo! What a letdown! I wanted to see you suffer!!!”

Well, first off: You fucking psycho.

And secondly… you’re right. It was kind of a letdown. 😓 

But that’s not the point.

The point is that you’re still reading (Ha! Gotchaaa!).

And this just proves that my storytelling principles can hold their own in the real world and on the interwebs.

The best part?

I’m currently building a course teaching you the exact same.

But I need your help.

I need to understand exactly what you’re struggling with so I can help you best (and don’t worry… I’ll give away most of my principles for free).

So if you have 2 minutes to spare… fill out this survey to help me help you:

Fill this out so I can help you with storytelling, offers, content, and other stuff that will make you more MOOLAH.

(The more detailed your answers, the more I can help).

I’m asking for 2 minutes of your time so I can save you MONTHS of laborious work in the future.

It’s worth it for you.

Help me help you more.

Cheers and talk soon,

Tim <3

P.S. I know my story didn’t have a satisfying payoff. Still… I’d appreciate any feedback. I reply to all the emails I get from you so don’t be shy.
