Description

Did you know that 92% of people don't achieve the goals they set? That stat can feel discouraging, until you understand why it happens.


In this episode, I'm diving into a game-changing mindset shift: the difference between decision fatigue (constantly rethinking your goals) and decision authority (committing and following through). If you've ever found yourself starting strong and then slipping into excuses, overthinking, or “maybe this isn't the right time,” this episode is your wake-up call.


What We Cover:


  • The biggest reason most goals fail (hint: it's not lack of motivation)




  • What decision fatigue looks like in real life




  • Why your brain tries to talk you out of things you've already committed to




  • How to choose grounded commitment over emotional storytelling




  • What it really takes to follow through on the things that matter




Key Takeaways:

✅ “I've already decided. Now it's time to follow through.”
✅ Your goals don't require perfection, they require consistency
✅ Quitting often sounds wise but is usually fear dressed up in logic
✅ Your brain will always offer you a way out… you don't have to take it


Actionable Insight:

Start catching the moment where you want to quit or “pause” your goal. Instead, say to yourself:
“I've already decided. Now it's time to follow through.”
Then ask: What's the next smallest step I can take today?
