Why not? Most people never ask themselves a question that can change everything.
Not “Can I?” Not “Should I?” Not “What if it goes wrong?” 

The question that can actually move your life forward is – Why not?

Stories. We all have a story and a story to tell.
Some stories were written years ago, shaped by family, culture, struggle, triumph, heartbreak, and survival.
Some were written recently, a win to be proud of, a mistake still being replayed in your mind, a moment that shook you, or a moment that lifted you. 

Support. It’s difficult to complete anything meaningful alone.
A mission, an objective, a strategy. Whatever it might be it’s harder to do by yourself. 

The lone-ranger strategy sounds tough in practice but it’s a fast track to fatigue, burnout, or a creation of bad habits – rarely do you get to conquer a goal alone.

Adversity. Adversity is something we all work through at various times. The difference is how we handle it and respond.

Adversity is the tension between where you are and where you’re trying to go. It’s the resistance that forces you to grow — the pressure that reveals your habits, your discipline, and your character.

It’s not a setback; it’s just something you need to work through. 

Relationships. Relationships can be one of the greatest performance enhancers you have. Or alternatively, they can be one of the biggest restrictions holding you back.

Relationships aren’t always easy, they take work and are often earned through building trust, being reliable and backing up your words through action.

ZERO600. At Run Rocket Run we start the day with something physical. A run, a gym session, a walk. Whatever it may be to set you up for a successful day.

From 1 June to 6 June, join Team Run Rocket Run for Invictus Australia’s ZERO600 campaign to get active at 6:00am and raise funds for veteran suicide.

Self-belief. Do you have it, are you building it, or are you still waiting for the “right moment” to trust yourself? 

Most of us move through the week on autopilot — work, home, responsibilities, repeat. It’s easy to slip into routines that feel safe but slowly shrink our confidence.

Service. At Run Rocket Run we believe in the importance of service before self.

This is putting others first; it’s a mindset on what drives your thought process and where you get your reward from prioritising an objective or others over self-interest. 

Adventure. Are you adventurous, working towards an adventure, or looking to take on something you haven’t done before and take you out of your comfort zone?

Often, we go from the work week to the weekend, and the daily grind can feel monotonous and sometimes relentless. Which let’s face it, can become boring. 

This Wednesday 15 April starting at 4:00pm, Rodney and the team at Run Rocket Run will be running a section of the Reef Beach and Dobroyd Head track at Balgowlah Heights (The Track) continuously for 48 hours.

The mission is to complete as many laps of The Track within 48 hours and it’s not flat, each 1.56km lap consists of 78m of elevation gain and loss. 

Lessons. Life experiences give you plenty of lessons, what you do with those lessons is up to you as to whether you learn from them or push them aside. 

Lessons come from failure, winning, and general experience. They show what worked, what didn’t, what you could have done better and what you didn’t do at all.

Desire. Have you ever had a desire to do something, to achieve something or challenge yourself where you’re committed to do everything it takes to achieve what you’re set out to?

Teamwork. We can’t do anything alone. There are often moments in business, sport and life where we’ll draw on the support of those around us.

Colleagues, teammates, family, friends as well as others who will assist with our growth and pursuit to achieve what we’re trying to.

Baseline. What is the baseline or foundation you’re working from? Is there something specific you need to work on to improve or is it an overall improvement that’s required?

How is your baseline measured? It could be a test, a weigh in, the speed in how long something takes or just something you can measure against to gauge results from. 

Compounding impact. Compounding impact is the cumulative impact of small, consistent actions, decisions or investments over a sustained period that lead to a result.

Compounding impact can also be known as the snowball effect. 

Pursuit. Pursuit is the drive or act of chasing or setting out to achieve something or engaging with someone that’s meaningful to you.

What are you in pursuit of? Is it a dream, a mission or a goal? Why is it meaningful for you to chase it?

Accountability. How are you held accountable for doing what you say you’ll do?

Do you have a friend group, colleague or family member that you can rely on and who will let you know you haven’t done what you said you would do?

Are you willing to do what it takes to back up what you say with action? It’s easy to say we’ll do something, but what happens when we don’t? What are the consequences? We don’t like letting other people down, but what is more important, is not letting yourself down.  

Approach. How do you approach your day, a challenge, a task or something you haven’t done before? Do you put it off by delaying doing what you have to, or do you tackle it head on?

It could be a conversation you don’t want to have with a colleague or partner, or it could be completing something that’s well outside your comfort zone. 

Adapt. Throughout periods in our personal and professional lives we’ll need to work through planned and unplanned changes including, challenges, injury, varying market conditions or some sort of adversity.

Everyone will go through something, it’s inevitable. 

Integrity is a core business value of Run Rocket Run.

It’s a key component of our mission to help enhance the performance of those we work with and those around us – the commitment we make to ourselves, each other, and the standards we hold as we pursue them.
