It's The Start That Stops Most People

Most people don’t fail because they can’t finish.

They fail because they never really start.

It’s not the work that stops us, it’s the beginning.

The hardest thing to get is going.

We wait to feel ready.
We wait for the right time.
We wait for motivation to show up first.

But motivation follows movement.
Not the other way around.

"Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working." - Pablo Picasso

You don’t need a perfect plan.
You don’t need a clean slate.
You don’t need to go all in.

You just need to go.

One walk.
One good meal.
One small decision in the right direction.

That’s how momentum starts.
And once you’re moving, the rest gets easier.

Let's stack some small wins this week as we venture into 2026 together.

What do you need to start today? 

Reply to this email and let us know, we'd love to hear from you!

Until next week, "Keep It Paleo!"

Your Pal,

PS: Arturo and I are up in Liberty Lake, Washington for the first-ever Mode Classic - James Sprague's Fitness Competition. Below are the "Chipper" ice cream sandwiches that the competitors will get on Sunday night when it's all over...

Also worth noting: Ribs and Sweets are back in stock if you’ve been waiting.
