I want to talk about something that comes up every January, and honestly, something I’ve stopped buying into over the years. New Year’s resolutions.
Not because growth doesn’t matter. It does. But because tying real change to a calendar date quietly gives us permission to wait. And waiting is usually where momentum dies.
In this episode of The Mindful Agent, I share why I don’t set goals the way most people do, and what’s actually helped me create lasting change in my health, my business, and my mindset. This isn’t about motivation. It’s about identity, decision, and standards you live by every day.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- Why waiting until you feel ready keeps you stuck
- The difference between goals and standards, and why standards last
- How fear disguises itself as procrastination
- Why clarity comes from decision, not overplanning
- How to move forward even when discomfort is guaranteed
The shift for me happened when I stopped asking, “What do I want to achieve?” and started asking, “Who do I refuse not to be anymore?” That one question changes everything.
This conversation applies whether you are building a real estate career, growing a business, or simply trying to become healthier and more aligned in your life. The moment you decide is the moment things actually begin to move.
