70. 5 Mistakes people make when starting the new year

If you start every January with big goals only to lose steam by February, this episode will feel like a reset button.

I break down the five mistakes that pull people off track at the start of a new year and how to avoid them so you stay consistent long after the hype fades. We talk about why the calendar will never transform you on its own, how all or nothing thinking drains your progress, and why performance goals keep you far more motivated than aesthetics ever will.

You will also learn how to replace motivation with real systems, set up an environment that supports your goals, and create a plan that actually fits into your life instead of burning you out.

If you want this year to feel different, this episode shows you exactly how to build your foundation with clarity, intention, and habits that last.

What's Discussed:

(00:00) Why January hype fades fast and what actually derails your goals

(03:10) The danger of going in too hard and how to pace yourself instead

(06:05) The shift from appearance driven goals to performance driven progress

(09:00) When motivation disappears and your habits have to take over

(12:00) How your environment shapes your success more than willpower

(15:10) The mindset that turns your new year into real, lasting change
