If you walk into most successful businesses, youll notice they have something in common, my professor, Peter F. Drucker, used to say.

Theyre boring.

Oh yes, theyre making money, but basically, theyre lifting the same rock up the same hill, day after day.

Theyve developed routines that they find are efficient.

Muscle is your bodys wealth, something you draw on for energy, power, and propulsion. It is stored capacity, waiting to be deployed.

And it is the residue of routine, as well.

If you ask most people why they dont start or stick with exercise routines, youll generally hear the reply, Its boring!

They have a basic misconception about wealth.

Its all about creating a surplus, whether its of energy, money, or power. If you hope to survive as a business or as a body, you need to build a profit, a surplus.

A fit body is the vessel that will transport you from a healthy today to a healthy tomorrow. It is the defense against a potentially hostile or sudddenly competitive environment.

It is also a source of self-confidence and a visible statement of your belief in your own capabilities.

And it results from doing that extra repetition; an added set of exercises that you think you just cant get yourself to do, because its too hard.

Or, because you told yourself, Its too boring.
