The Power of Consistency and “Being Better Every Day”
Thursday, 17 July, 2025
Welcome to the Balance Warrior Podcast for high achievers! In this episode, Coach Chris shares incredible insights and "value bombs" from his recent transformative trip to Korea, where he spent intensive time training and conversing with mentor, Grandmaster Kim. Chris and Paul explore how the timeless principles of consistency, high standards, and continuous improvement are not just for martial arts practitioners but are vital for achieving multidimensional success in all aspects of life, from entrepreneurship and finance to personal relationships and well-being. Key Discussion Points: The Il Il Shin Philosophy: Coach Paul and Coach Chris emphasize the core tenet of "Il Il Shin," which translates to "be better every day." This philosophy encourages Balanced Warriors to become "one-percenters" or "uncommon humans" in their respective fields and lives, not by seeking drastic changes, but through consistent, incremental improvements. Grandmaster Kim's Enduring Legacy: Chris and Paul express their shared mission to pass down the profound wisdom and life philosophy of their mentor, Grandmaster Kim. His teachings, rooted in both Eastern and Western philosophies, form the foundation of Empowered Mastery and the multidimensional success approach. Coach Chris's Transformative Trip to Korea: Intensive Mountain Training: Coach Chris recounts his memorable three-day and night experience with Grandmaster Kim, involving overnight meditation trainings on three different mountains in Korea. Humility in Teaching: Coach Chris shares a humbling experience of presenting the Il Il Shin philosophy to 200 people, with Grandmaster Kim himself in attendance. This reinforced the honor and responsibility of sharing their mentor's teachings. The Power of Consistent Application: A key takeaway from the conversations with Grandmaster Kim was that there was no "new" information. Instead, the emphasis was on consistent application of the fundamental principles he had taught for decades. Growth and success are found in consistency. The Value of Consistency in Daily Life: Coach Paul shares a personal anecdote from the gym, illustrating how his lifelong consistency in fitness, rather than sporadic effort, has yielded remarkable results. This principle is applied to various aspects of life, including financial investments, relationships, and personal habits, likening it to the long-term compounding interest seen in financial planning. Self-Mastery as a Lifelong Journey: Coach Chris and Coach Paul reiterate that self-mastery is not about reaching a destination or achieving perfection, but rather an ongoing, lifelong quest for continuous improvement and a mindful appreciation of the journey.
