September hits and suddenly you're saying "I need to start over" again. The summer drinks, the travel, the complete routine unraveling - and now you feel like you're back at square one. But what if the problem isn't your willpower or the season itself, but the fact that you never built a foundation strong enough to bend without breaking?

In this episode we dive into:

• Why the "starting over" cycle keeps you from ever compounding real results

• The difference between locking back in versus resetting (and why one builds lasting change)

• How to plan your seasons so maintenance doesn't become complete chaos

• The honest truth about inputs versus outputs that most people refuse to face

The Reality Check - Why You Keep Starting Over

• Every summer your routine completely unravels after just two trips in the first few weekends

• You tell yourself "I'll worry about this in September" while your tracking stops and workouts disappear

• Fall arrives and you feel frustrated, behind, and pressured to overhaul everything at once

• The same pattern shows up in business: cruise through summer, then scramble to restart marketing in September

The Foundation Shift - What Locking Back In Actually Looks Like

• You maintain your non-negotiables even during relaxed seasons (like four workouts per week, no matter what)

• You have guardrails in place so September means re-anchoring, not rebuilding from zero

• You plan your seasons in advance, just like you plan your summer trips

• You normalize that sprints and coasting both matter - but only when you know how to transition between them

The Honest Truth - Inputs Must Match Your Expectations

• "I'm eating really healthy" means nothing if you're out multiple times a week without tracking

• You can't post twice a month and expect consistent business growth

• A coach's first job is showing you what's realistic based on your actual effort, not your ideal effort

• The person who can turn the dial up and down has built systems strong enough to flex with life

This conversation reminds us that lasting results only come when you stop chasing resets and start building foundations that can weather any season. Whether you're frustrated by another September "restart" or tired of the business scramble every fall, this episode offers the mindset shift to break the cycle for good.
