Short Term Rental Secrets Podcast Ep 274 - Stop Setting Goals. Start Becoming This Person
Most people don’t fail because they lack discipline — they fail because they’re trying to grow without changing who they are.
In this episode, Chris and E break down why goals alone don’t create change, how identity drives momentum, and the real reason most people stall out by February. This is a deep, practical conversation on discipline, accountability, emotionalized goals, and how to build habits that actually stick.
If you’ve ever felt stuck despite “doing all the right things,” this episode will reframe how you think about growth — personally and professionally.
Inside this episode:
• Why identity matters more than motivation
• How emotionalized goals create automatic discipline
• The “never two days in a row” rule that builds momentum
• Why most people sabotage themselves without realizing it
• How to design accountability that actually works
• Turning small daily actions into long-term transformation
