Relentless IQ → #3 [2026] → YOU Have to Believe
Relentless IQ is your weekly dose of mental + physical performance.
Insight
Self-efficacy is the belief in your ability to succeed.
YOU have to believe.
Because if you don’t believe in yourself - in your ideas, your goals, your vision - who will?
What’s kind of wild about goals is that you have to believe in them before they exist. Before there’s proof. Before results. You have an idea in your head, and the only way it ever becomes real is through work.
And a lot of that work happens when the future is unknown.
You have to work without guarantees.
You have to keep showing up through doubt and uncertainty.
If you’re an entrepreneur, you understand this. You start with an idea and work to make it real. Doubters are everywhere, and sometimes that doubt creeps into your own mind. But you keep going because you believe in what you’re building.
If you’re an athlete, you understand this too. You picture the win, the finish line, the moment you’re working toward. But the outcome isn’t guaranteed. You don’t know if the work will pay off. You choose to believe that it will.
You have to work when the result is still unknown.
You have to trust the process.
You have to believe deeply enough that doubt - internal or external - doesn’t stop you from showing up.
So keep working until the thing in your head becomes real life.
Because only you have the ability to turn your vision into reality.
Question
What vision are you willing to believe in and work toward before there’s proof?

Coaches Notes:
This workout isn’t about chasing a time or testing a max.
It’s about committing to the work and getting in the reps.
Choose loads that require focus but aren’t max effort. It should feel challenging, but doable.
Get your heart rate up. Accumulate some volume. Chase the pump. Embrace the burn.
Just do the work and have some fun.
