As a child, every one of us is taught values from our parents, environment and culture. We then spend the rest of our adult life looking for people, places and things that validate our values. The moment we feel invalidated, we start changing our personality and actions so that our values continue to be accepted and approved. This is the beginning of codependency because we depend on our core values (that were externally programmed) to validate our sense of self-worth and personal power in life.
Codependency is actually an addiction to taking care of others or working at the cost of your health due to moral obligations and/or feeling trapped by your responsibilities and values.
As long as you are value-centered you will always be codependent.
Principles are universal laws that govern us all to a more effective way of living. They do not care what your values are and they do not change like values. When your values go against these universal laws, you will break yourself against them time and time again.
Principles are patterns, not beliefs. With nearly three decades of measuring the patterns of thousands of successful individuals, we are unmatched as the #1 authority in principle-centered living.
Whether you want to experience a higher level of self-worth, increased self-confidence or a clear sense of purpose, our highly integrated and measurable process will guide you to experiencing the 10x version of your best self. You will be equipped with a blueprint, gameplan and successful team.
Principle-centeredness is the only path to True Independence.

In 1996 Day began his journey as a personal trainer and lifestyle coach. Three years later, he found himself managing a team of trainers at a popular gym franchise. Day soon realized that there was a breakdown in the services he offered because many of his trainers did not embody the education from their certification. So he started creating a physical assessment to hold himself and his trainers accountable to being the education that they were teaching.
Around the same time, Day was reading the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey which introduced him to the idea of character and being principle-centered. With this new lens, he began to notice how the human body held so many truths about a person’s character. Day began to ask a deeper question: Can you tell a man or woman’s character by their health and fitness habits?
At this point, his thesis was born “Character Fitness” and with his newly developed physical assessment, Day was no longer a personal trainer in a gym. He was now a transformation specialist in a lab. 25 years later with more than 100,000 hours in the lab and 1000’s of clients measured, Day has created a game that measures the personal character of a person and improves it through a principle-centered process.
