044. Why Your Goals Fail Every Year (And How to Finally Fix It)
Tue Jan 06 2026
Every January, millions of people set big goals — lose weight, make more money, get organized. By February, most have already quit.
It's not a motivation problem. It's a planning problem.
Here's the truth: setting the goal is easy. The hard part is knowing what to actually DO on a random Tuesday in May to make that goal happen. Most people have a destination with no directions — a dream for December with no plan for today.
In this episode, I'm walking you through the 6-step framework I use to reverse engineer any goal into quarterly milestones, weekly priorities, and daily actions. No more vague intentions. No more starting strong and burning out by week three.
