Shownotes
Up to 92% of long-term goals never stick, and it has nothing to do with willpower. A neuroscientist breaks down the real, brain-based reason and the exact steps to fix it.
What you'll learn:
• Why up to 92% of long-term goals never stick, and why it's not a discipline problem
• How your non-conscious mind treats an oversized goal as a threat
• The single trick for shrinking any goal until your brain says yes
• How to update the identity story that keeps predicting you'll quit
• Why a vague first step kills follow-through, and how to make it visible
• The two-minute daily habit that locks a new pattern into your brain
• What the Neurocycle is and how it gets to the root of the pattern
