What happens to your goals when motivation wears off?

In this episode, I break down why most New Year’s resolutions fail and why motivation alone will never carry you through the year. With National Quitting Day as the backdrop, I explain the real difference between motivation and commitment, and why commitment, not feelings, is what drives long-term success in financial advising.

I walk through a simple framework I use with advisors to help them stay consistent: knowing what you want is not enough. You must be clear on why the goal is a must and who you need to become to achieve it. Without those two anchors, effort becomes inconsistent and progress stalls.

🎯 You’ll Learn How To:

Stop relying on motivation and build true commitment

Clarify a “why” that makes quitting unacceptable

Identify the version of yourself your goals require

Create daily standards that don’t depend on how you feel

The Magellan Academy & Network

The rules and tools for success in the financial services industry are about to change radically.

I have spent over 25 years coaching only financial advisors. In that time, I have personally conducted over 50,000 individual coaching sessions. I have built a profound knowledge base of what it takes to achieve lifelong success in business and life. In my career, I have transformed 1,000’s of advisors (below are video and written testimonials by many of them).

Many of you probably paid thousands of dollars to various coaching programs with very mixed results. Most coaching programs are just that. A pre-planned process that is “cookie cutter”. Where they have salespeople having to “sell” you on their program and results. In most cases, it’s about the coach, their ego, and their money. They base their program on “practice management” or “marketing”. They make you more intelligent. What they all fail to do is help you make that “mindset” shift that must happen for you to realize your dreams and vision.

I am going to coach you, teach you, inspire you, and train you all on your mobile device every business day. You are going to get better at business development, practice management, personal development, and your vision.

Here is what you are going to get from me each month:

- A 5-10 minute morning coach video each business day.

- 3 training videos of 20-30 minutes each. This will be a deep dive into four areas I mentioned above.

- A live group coaching session where you and I can interact and work together.

Here is what you can do each month:

- Post a question to me and I will answer it.

- Collaborate and associate with like-minded advisors.

- Invite other great advisors into the network.

Your Bottom Line:

Here is the deal. I am not going to ask you for a credit card. Like I said before, coaching is personality driven. You might not like my style or tactics. So with that in mind here is my offer to you. Complete the short form below. You will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to join the network for the next 14-days. I personally approve each submission so this might take a few hours or a day at the most. I will not ask for compensation of any kind during that 14-days.

Take action now and complete the short form below and I look forward to welcoming you personally inside the Magellan Network.
