No fluff, no overwhelm. Just what's relevant to you. Let's dive in with issue #9.
Overwhelmed Already?
Here’s Why February Feels So Hard and How to Fix It!"
It happens every year. By February, the enthusiasm of January fizzles out, and all I hear is:
"I’m overwhelmed!" ??
On Monday, I hosted a powerful session in my membership all about goal-setting that actually works?
Yes, we covered the basics like setting SMART goals, but more importantly, we got real about how to actually achieve them and why most people get stuck.?
Here’s some of the points I shared:
?? Stop Waiting for Milestones
Don’t tie goals to New Year’s or any other milestone. If you crush a goal in June, are you really going to wait until January to set another? No way! Goals evolve, and so should your approach.
?? Understand the Cost
Every goal comes with sacrifices. Want a stronger sales funnel but hate tech? That goal might cost you time or money to outsource. Every win demands a trade-off.
?? Embrace Elimination
To achieve big things, you must let go of others. It’s hard, but saying no now opens doors to the success you want later.
Don’t set yourself up to fail by going all in too heavy in January.

1. Planning every hour of your diary.
2. Piling on HUGE expectations.
3. Promising 5 workouts a week when you’ve done none for months even years.
4. Then BOOM, February hits, and you feel like nothing is working.

The reality my is, It’s not that nothing is working.
You didn’t give it enough time, or you overcommitted.
Hitting goals isn’t just about quick wins, it’s about consistency.
??Start small.
??Stay steady.
??Build momentum.
Small steps today lead to BIG changes tomorrow.?
This month, commit to YOU. Slow down, reflect, and focus on sustainable progress. Your future self will thank you.
