Growth Requires Commitment

YES!!!!!! I did it!! #75hardmaxwellized #75harddaychallenge

WHOA….. That WAS AWESOME!

It wasn’t that I didn’t think I could do this, It’s that I never was challenged by people that I trusted and loved to be on the journey with me like this every single day. This has been a 75 day transformation of the mind, the heart and the soul.

Commitment is about SHOWING UP and taking action: ✅

but HERE’s what happened on my day 75 Bike Ride this morning. ……

i had it all planned out at 6am:

✅ Grab my ear pods

✅ Start and Listen to my favorite Maxwell Leadership Teaching from John from July 22, 2025- Truth!

✅ Grab my 33 L bottle of water to put in my basket

✅. Set my watch for my outside Bike Goal

✅. Have fun reflecting on all the memories of the last 75 days as I pass now familiar houses.

DRINK MY SECOND BOTTLE OF WATER during my morning bible study.

Here’s how the first part of my morning went:

Got up, dressed and out the back door to my bike at 6am. I soon Realized, wait I am not prepared! I don’t have my water bottle or my ear pods!

Came back in the house

Grabbed my water bottle from the refrigerator and my ear pods and they wouldn’t connect to my phone, I worked for three minutes and still couldn’t figure out what the heck was happening: No Sound- What the heck?: I took them hoping they would eventually connect: ❌

Grabbed my water bottle, put it in my basket. Half way through the ride (concentrating on the scenery because I am not listening to anything—- no sound, no john maxwell teaching me any lessons, silence)— I reached for my water bottle…. and for the first time in 75 days, the lid had shaken loose and guess what…. there was NO WATER in my bottle! ❌. I was so thirsty it was HOT and I now have a sinus infection and am sneezing and coughing….

Strategically I was planning my route for the big gears to challenge each hill and prepare for the climbs …..every other morning there are NO CARS at the stop signs and I’ve been able to get so much momentum….. today…. there was at least ONE CAR that I had to stop at every single stop sign……. ❌. WHAT…

Today started off as the hardest day yet! seriously…. I just kept relating it to day 32 from when we started our Bible Study almost 6 years ago. That’s another story about faith.

Today I realized when we focus on growth and we have gained so much momentum is exactly the time that the devil comes after us to pull us down, distract us and make us feel fear, anxiety and doubt….. NOT TODAY….

I smiled, I laughed and I took photos of friends houses, rang my “I love my Bike” bell and reflected on the last 74 days of growth…… 77 days ago I would have never thought about doing this challenge…..

I am so grateful to Bridgett McAdams Krause Heber Mena Darlene Hale Glenn Nathan Carter Ellen Holmes Misita Cheri Orcutt Rob Herold Katie Stahlhut Susan Sullivan and so many more of our Maxwell Family that have been with us from the beginning or have started just days ago…..

This has taught me that “I can do hard things” and for me like my vision I had when I created my company Everyday Leaders in 2017, Being intentional Everyday is the only way that makes sense for me to grow. I must be consistent EVERYDAY, I need accountability EVERYDAY, I DESIRE GROWTH EVERYDAY.

✅ ❤️ 75 Days of growth

✅❤️ 18 Lbs lost (wow)

✅❤️ 75 Gallons of water through my dehydrated body

✅❤️ 75 days of friendships, bonding with purpose

✅❤️ Everyday recommitting to myself

✅❤️ 75 Days of being adaptable to reach the goal, while traveling, participating at an Emmaus Walk, and being sick.

Thank you to everyone who has been reaching out, cheering all of us on this journey.

I hear we are starting this again Sept 1 and 2nd……

Here’s what changed in my mindset:

It’s not about how long will it take, I want to find out how far can I go……

Who’s ready to make an impact for yourself for the rest of your life?
