Why Your Goals Keep Backfiring (And the Simple Reset That Fixes It)

You don’t fall off your goals because you don’t want them… you fall off because you never made space for them. 

If you’ve ever started strong and then crashed into overwhelm, this episode is your wake-up call. Success isn’t about willpower, it’s about designing a system that works for who you actually are, not just who you want to be.

In this solo episode, George pulls back the curtain on the real reason most people fail to follow through on their goals. It’s not laziness. It’s not lack of ambition. It’s a process problem. 

You’ll learn how to reset without shame and reframe discipline into something sustainable and even enjoyable. George walks you through his personal reset formula, how to recognize when you’re drifting, and how to bring yourself back without guilt or burnout.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why you lose momentum (and how to stop)
• The identity-shaping power of tiny actions
• How to build discipline without burning out
• The W.I.N. Reset Framework: What’s Important Now?
   

Key Takeaways:
✔️Goals fail not from lack of desire, but from lack of structure.
✔️You can’t install a new identity without creating space for it in your daily life.
✔️Success is built through a flywheel: Process → Progress → Proof → Pattern → Identity.
✔️The W.I.N. Reset works when you feel stuck:

• W: What’s one action I can take today?
• I: Is it aligned with who I want to become?
• N: Can I do it now?

✔️You are always in a process: your only job is to choose whether that process is intentional or default.
