Remember original Nintendo with no save function? Jake uses this nostalgic example to reveal why most people quit important goals - and how to build a "scoreboard" that makes your progress visible and your success inevitable.

• The Nintendo Parallel: Without visible progress, even improvement feels pointless
• Harvard's Progress Principle: Making progress visible is the #1 factor in sustained motivation
• The Invisible Progress Problem: Most people quit because they can't see themselves improving
• Scoreboard Strategy: Track both process metrics (what you control) and outcome metrics (results)
• Leading vs. Lagging Indicators: Focus on daily actions that drive long-term results
