#40 - James Brook - From All or Nothing to Always Something
James Brook is a CEO, a dad of two, husband and someone who - on the surface had it together.But underneath, when it cam to taking care of himself, he was caught in the all-or-nothing loop.If he couldn’t do it perfectly, he wouldn’t do it at all.The result? Stop-start cycles. No momentum. Constant frustration.In this episode, we talk about how James broke that loop - not by pushing harder, but by building systems that actually fit real life.We cover:How the all-or-nothing mindset creeps into every area of lifeWhy structure, consistency and clarity beat intensity every timeThe shift from pressure-driven chaos to calm, confident executionHow to build emotional resilience alongside physical momentumWhy lowering the bar isn’t lowering your standards - it’s building something that lastsThis isn’t just about habits - it’s about identity, self-leadership, and showing up when it counts.If you’re stuck in stop-start mode and want to build something sustainable - this is the work I do in The One Percent.Hit the link below to find out more:www.theone-percent.com
