2026 Family Goal Setting: The F.L.A.G. Framework (Stop Making Resolutions) with Rob Tracz
Resolutions rarely last past February. This year, try a framework instead.
If you feel like you are standing at the base of a "new mountain" in 2026—whether that is a financial milestone, a career pivot, or a new season of parenting—you cannot use your old map to climb it.
In this New Year’s special, I sit down with Performance Coach Rob Tracz to dismantle the traditional "New Year, New Me" hype. Instead, we focus on alignment. We discuss why willpower fails, why you need to stop chasing your "past self," and how to build a family culture that hits goals automatically through lifestyle design.
If you are tired of setting goals that you forget by March, this episode provides the compass you need.
In this episode, you will learn:
- The "Rugby Lesson": Why trying to perform like your "old self" is a recipe for burnout (and injury).
- The F.L.A.G. Framework: A 4-step system (Foundational Values, Lifestyle Alignment, Aspirations, Growth) to filter what actually matters this year.
- Lead vs. Lag Measures: Why obsessing over the result (the scale, the bank account) actually slows you down—and what to focus on instead.
- Family Buy-In: How to set goals with your kids (even the reluctant teenagers rolling their eyes).

Key Quotes:
"You can't chase a previous version of yourself if you're trying to accomplish new goals. You need to step into who you need to become next." — Rob Tracz
"Goals are a lag measure. The daily habit is the lead measure. You can't control the result today, but you can control the action." — Dominic DeLaquil
