Your progress photo — your album only
The daily selfie that shows your physical progress. Take it, save it to your own private album, and let the 75 days stack up. On Day 75, that album is your proof of what changed. It never goes in the group feed.
This is OPS75. Two ways to run the next 75 days, one department doing it together. Read this page first. The full brief is on the next page.
Mon Nov 16, 2026 — Day 1 · 75 days straight through · Fri Jan 29, 2027 — Day 75

Team, this idea came up while I was talking with a couple of my directors about running 75 Hard. I am going to run it, and I want to put it out to the whole department for anyone who wants to run it with me.
First, be clear on what this is. 75 Hard is not a challenge. It is a program. Seventy-five days. Five tasks. Every single day. No shortcuts in the original.
I will be honest with you. This program is hard. Very, very hard, and I know it can feel daunting, especially if you have never done anything like this before. That feeling is normal. It is also exactly why I want you to get out of your comfort zone and try. I know what seeing this through will do for you. You will be better for it.
Hear me on this part. There is no pressure here.
I am not expecting this from anyone. I am not pushing it. It does not count toward your performance and it has nothing to do with your job here. This is voluntary, start to finish.
This is simply a chance for us to do something hard together as a department. Doing hard things together makes us better as individuals and tighter as a team. And I think it will actually be fun.
Yes, this runs through the holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s are all inside these 75 days. I know that adds to the daunting part. But push through the holidays on this and you will come out the other side grateful you did. Instead of starting next year from zero, we hit the new year already in stride.
If the full program feels overwhelming right now, I still want you in this. That is why there are two ways to run it, side by side, in the same group, on the same dates. Pick the one that honestly fits where you are, then commit to it.
Whatever questions you have, come talk to me directly. No question is too small before Day 1.

Nobody gets cut for failing a day. Nobody leaves the group, the tracker, or the conversation. You own the miss, you get back up the next day, and you keep running with the group. That is the whole point of doing this together.
Read this part twice, because I want zero confusion on it.
Your daily progress photo does NOT need to be posted in the group. I am NOT asking anyone to post it — at all.
That photo is for you, and only you. Take it every day and keep it in your own album on your phone. Over 75 days, that album shows your physical progress. Nobody on this team will ask you to share it, post it, or show it to anyone.
The daily selfie that shows your physical progress. Take it, save it to your own private album, and let the 75 days stack up. On Day 75, that album is your proof of what changed. It never goes in the group feed.
If you want to post in the group, post the work, not the progress selfie. That kind of photo is encouraged:
Share those freely. Just not the progress selfie. That one stays yours.
Same start, same group, same 75-day window, November 16 to January 29. The difference is the commitment you are making, so choose honestly. A 75 Hard restart may finish after January 29, and that person stays in the group the whole way.
Run it exactly as it is written.
If you miss: You start again the next day and keep running with the group. Whether you reset to Day 1 and do the full 75 clean is your prerogative. Own that choice, post it, and keep going. You are still in this with us, even if your 75 runs past January 29.
Same five categories. Goals you set yourself.
How it runs: You run all 75 days with the group, doing your tasks as best you can, every day. Mark every day honestly, good or missed. A missed day does not end your run. Show up again the next day and keep going to January 29.
If OPS75 is your track, I want one clear goal in each category written down before Monday, November 16, where the group can see it. The place to put them is the signup form: OPS75 — I’m In. Then run all 75 days doing your tasks as best you can, mark your days honestly, and stay in it even after a miss.
Not sure what your five should be? The OPS75 Coach interviews you and drafts your goals, diet, and workouts with you.
Diet: No eating after 8pm • Movement: 30-minute workout daily • Water: 80 oz • Growth: 10 pages • Check-in: On the tracker every night
Copy the shape. Set your own numbers.
This is not despite the holidays. The holidays are part of why this will mean something when you finish.
Day 1. Both tracks start together.
Day 11. First real test, early.
Day 40. Past halfway in spirit.
Day 47. You are already in stride while everyone else is starting.
Day 75. The end of the shared window. A restarted 75 Hard run may finish after this date.
I am setting up one group page for everyone, both tracks.
Mark each day as you complete your tasks, so your progress is visible to you and to the group.
Want your own numbers too? Your personal tracker sheet tracks your weight and stats day by day.
Share updates, wins, and hard days. Gym photos, your watch after a walk, the view on your hike — encouraged. Your daily progress photo is not for the feed. Do not post it. It stays in your private album.
When someone misses, we do not pile on and we do not ignore it. We get them back up the next day.
My strongest recommendation before you lock in either track: listen to the podcasts. Start with Episode 208 on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Every episode is linked on page 2, the full brief.
Do not pick a track just from my summary. Hear it from Andy Frisella, the man who built 75 Hard. Start with REAL AF Episode 208, then Episode 14 and the original MFCEO Project Episode 290 if you want the full picture.
The episodes explain the why behind the program — what it is really for, and what you stand to gain from it: discipline, confidence, self-belief, and grit that carry into your work and your life long after Day 75. That why is what gets you through the hard days. Understand it first, then commit, and the commitment you make will actually mean something.
Want real-life perspectives first? Look up the ‘75 Versus’ episodes of REAL AF, where people who have run the program talk honestly about what it took and what it changed. You can also search #75Hard, #75HardChallenge, and #LiveHard to see more from people in the middle of it right now. For the official rules and extra tools, go to the official 75 Hard website. One heads-up: Andy’s podcasts contain strong, explicit language. Go in expecting it.
Ready for the details? The next page is the full brief. It lays out 75 Hard exactly as it is written, so you know precisely what Track 1 requires before you commit to it.
Read this page, hear the why, then decide your track and set your OPS75 goals if that is your track.
