In this episode, Alex dives into the common struggles many face with New Year's resolutions. Two weeks into the year, you might feel like you're falling short—but what if there's a better way to approach your goals? Alex introduces the concept of leading goals and how focusing on small, actionable steps can create lasting change.

💡 What You'll Learn

• Why outcome-based goals can feel overwhelming and how to avoid the "failure trap."
• The power of leading goals and how they contribute to long-term success.
• How to approach setbacks as valuable feedback rather than reasons to give up.
• A practical framework to make your goals more achievable and sustainable.

🎯 Key Takeaways

• Focus on what you can realistically commit to right now, whether it's one extra workout a week or tracking your meals for two weeks.
• Progress isn't about perfection—it's about learning and adapting along the way.
• Every day is an opportunity to reset and start fresh, no matter the date on the calendar.
