Relentless IQ → #34 [2026] →Outwork Your Doubt

Relentless IQ is your weekly dose of mental + physical performance.

Insight

When you're stepping outside of your comfort zone, it's totally normal to experience doubt.

Training for a big race and nervous about how it's going to go? Normal.
Building a business or side hustle and start thinking, "Who am I to do this?" Normal.
Applying for a new job and wondering if you're as qualified as everyone else? Normal.

But here's the secret… You have to keep working through the doubt.
Drown it out with action.
Do the training. Make the calls. Learn what you need to learn. And just keep showing up.

Because the more work you put in, the more evidence you have that you CAN do this.
And that's where real confidence comes from.
Not from faking it and trying to convince yourself you're ready- but from knowing you've actually prepared.

And remember: you don't have to wait for the doubt to go away before you move forward.
YOU JUST HAVE TO OUTWORK IT.

Question

Where is doubt holding you back, and what could you do to start outworking it?

Quote

“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.” – Vincent van Gogh

Coach’s Notes:

  • Push every round. Fight to do the movements unbroken and/or with minimal rest. If the doubt start to creep in, hold on and keep working

  • Use the 2:00 rest between rounds to regroup and then get right back to it.
