How to Set Goals That Actually Work in 2026 #668
About this episode
Why do 92% of people fail their New Year's resolutions? It's not willpower, it's a broken system.
In this video, I break down the exact 6-step framework I used to run 58 marathons in 58 days, build a 6-figure coaching business, and prepare for fatherhood, all while maintaining freedom and balance.
You'll learn:
✅ How to set a North Star Goal that actually drives you
✅ The Anti-Goals method (the game-changer no one talks about)
✅ Why your environment predicts your success (backed by 32 years of data)
✅ How to master your time and stop the "96 checks per day" trap
✅ The identity shift that makes goals inevitable
