About this episode
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit."
Habits beat motivation; small, daily actions reshape identity and make success inevitable without relying on willpower.
The problem is that most people create goals with no system in place. They rely on raw, fragile willpower and motivation and then wonder why they fail.
Let's explore how to make habits that actually stick to give you the best possible chance of success in the new year.
