Hey Reader,

What if the reason most people fail at their goals isn’t a lack of discipline… but a broken strategy?

Real talk, every January, we hype ourselves up with big goals, fresh notebooks, and a whole lotta motivation. And by February? Poof. Gone. Motivation fades, life gets busy, and those goals quietly die on the vine.

I’ve been there. More times than I care to admit.

And that’s exactly why I want to share something that’s completely changed how I approach growth, success, and building a life I actually enjoy living.

Here’s the truth most people miss:
Goals set the direction, but habits create the destination.

​In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I break down why one aligned habit beats 100 goals every damn time, and how you can lock in just two simple habits, one personal, one professional, to make 2026 your best year ever… without burning yourself into the ground.

A few quick stats that stopped me in my tracks:

• Over 80% of people abandon their goals by February
• Only 19% stick with goals past six months
• Nearly half of our daily actions are driven by habits, not willpower

If you want real change, you don’t need more pressure; you need better systems.

In this episode, I walk you through:

• Why habits rewire your nervous system (while goals just hype your ego)
• How to design a non-negotiable morning habit that fuels your health, clarity, and energy
• How to create a 90-minute Daily Impact Block that compounds income and impact
• The power of consequences, accountability, and environment (this part is a game-changer)
• And how consistency, not intensity, is the secret sauce to long-term success

This isn’t about grinding harder.
It’s about keeping your word to yourself daily.

If you’re tired of setting goals that don’t stick…
If you want momentum without burnout…
If you’re ready to build success that actually feels aligned…

This episode is for you.

Let’s make 2026 the year you stop chasing goals and start becoming the person who naturally hits them.

Keep on Happy Hustlin',

With love & light,
