Why Your Goals Die by Week 2
Thu Jan 15 2026
Most people don’t “fail” at goals because they’re lazy or undisciplined—they fail because the goal is built on the wrong foundation. In this episode, we break down why goals fall apart (sometimes in a week), how to tell if your “vision” is actually your ego talking, and how to set a vision that’s rooted in your real values so your actions become natural—not forced. Health, success, money, the body… it’s all integrated. When you stop isolating your life into separate buckets and start building from alignment, you stop burning out and start compounding.

3 Key Takeaways:
Your goals only stick when they’re rooted in true values (not fear, ego, or “what you think you should want”). If the goal is built on proving something, it’ll collapse—or you’ll hate the process.
Health isn’t the end goal for most people—it’s the tool. When health supports what you actually value (family, impact, leadership, freedom), you stop needing motivation and start moving with consistency.
You need a vision beyond the vision + honesty about where you are (A) to map a real path to where you’re going (B). If you’re not honest about A—or your B is borrowed—you’ll burn out.
Quotes:
“What is your goal rooted in? Because ‘I want to be healthier’ and ‘I want to be thinner’ are two very different things.”
“Health is just a tool—it’s the tool that helps you get what you actually value.”
