We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Nick Pags a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Nick, appreciate you joining us today. What do you think it takes to be successful?
I believe the perspective that success has a code is killing people. What I have learned from my own personal journey as well as the clients I’ve worked with, is that it’s wildly different for everyone, and it’s constantly changing for everyone. There likely will not be one way to do it, and likely not one way to do it for you that fits each season of your life. Success is a byproduct of getting on the same page with your desires, mission, and heart, and then aligning your actions to match that commitment.
Nick, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Nick Pags, Growth Mindset Expert, Certified Behavioral Change Specialist and Inspirational Live Coach, understands the desire to change, why you don’t, and the mindset shifts needed to find success – in any and all areas of your life.
Applying the motivational skills he’s used as one of NYC’s top personal trainers and group fitness leaders, with his behavioral change training, he has inspired thousands of individuals – from peers in the coaching space to elite C-Suite executives – to unlock their own potential.
His gift? He naturally provides a unique mix of high-energy coaching and empathetic listening to create a space for self-discovery that is as profound as it is exciting.
Throughout his private and group coaching, live-events and corporate speaking, he’s afforded his clients the opportunity to break through their old ways of being, rewrite the mental patterns that don’t serve them, and truly embrace their limitless potential to live out their most abundant lives.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
Hard work = success. I have learned that is a portion of the equation, but I have worked really hard and watched a lot of people work really hard. It is not the way to success, it is simply a part of the equation like everything else is. Our society glorifies hard work, grinding, and hustling, but it fails to honor all the other pieces of the equation.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
I owned two gyms, one in NYC and one just outside. I dropped it all to pursue coaching and speaking. Left an amazing salary, incredible growth in my field, and tons of momentum to move towards something that was more aligned.
