4 Reasons People Quit Their Goals


Listen Later

In this episode, Marissa and Ken reveal the four most common reasons people abandon their goals and share strategies to overcome each one. They discuss practical ways to reignite motivation, stay realistic, beat overwhelm, and find the support needed to pursue what matters.


Key Takeaways

  1. Lack of Motivation: Goals without personal meaning are easy to abandon. Reflect on why the goal matters to stay inspired.
  2. Unrealistic Expectations: Expecting too much, too quickly can lead to burnout. Set achievable steps, celebrate progress, and be kind to yourself.
  3. Overwhelmed by Complexity: Big goals can seem daunting. Break them down into manageable steps, focusing on progress over perfection.
  4. Lack of Support: Pursuing a goal alone can be isolating. Build a support system or find an accountability partner to help you stay on track.
