How to close the gap.
Last week, we looked at the “Expectation vs Effort” gap.
That idea came from a quote I heard during the week:
“Most people want elite-level outcomes without elite-level actions.”
Don’t let the word elite throw you off. The real question is:
👉 Do your current actions reflect the outcome you're chasing?
It doesn’t matter whether your goal is huge or humble—the principle still applies.
You know there’s a gap. Now let’s start closing it.
Step 1: Be Brutally Honest About Where You Are
Before you do anything, you’ve got to get clear—and honest—about your current baseline.
Because if you lie to yourself, here’s what happens:
- You train hard.
- Eat “better.”
- Put in effort…
And eventually hit the point you told yourself you were already at.
Then you feel like none of it worked, so you sack it off.
That’s not progress—it’s burnout.
Be honest about where you’re starting from so you can measure actual improvement, not story telling.
Step 2: Get Specific About Where You Want to Go
“Get fit” and “tone up” are shit answers.
How fit?
What does toned look like?
How are you measuring it?
You can’t tie behaviour to a goal if the goal’s vague.
Clarity feeds direction.
Step 3: Identify the Gap
Point A = where you are now
Point B = where you want to be
If Point A is eating like a bin fire, and Point B is dropping 10% body fat…
What’s your next move?
You’re not going from 2L of Coke on Tuesday to weighing chicken and broccoli on Wednesday.
Start With the Smallest Logical Step
Close the gap—even just an inch.
👉 Mindless face-stuffing? Start with protein at every meal.
👉 3 doughnuts a day down to 1? You’re halfway to sainthood already.
Start small. Start smart. Just fucking start.
Then?
Close the gap another inch.
Stack inches, and you’re on your way to Point B.
