Why do so many of us quit midway to our goals?
High-performance coach Jake Smolarek joins me to unpack what’s really happening when motivation fades and follow-through falls apart.
We talk about his 10–80–10 Rule, how to have no 0% days, and what it actually takes to become a f*cking legend at anything.
Jake also breaks down his Vision GPS tool, which helps people make fast, aligned decisions.
Whether you’re stuck in the middle of a weight loss journey, a career shift, or a personal goal you can’t seem to finish, this episode will help you recalibrate, refocus, and keep moving forward.
