Struggle to start or stick with your goals? You're not lacking willpower—you might be missing the right operating system. In this foundational episode of the Legacy Library series, Rosie van der Loos fuses two giants of behavioral science: James Clear's Atomic Habits and Carol Dweck's Mindset. Learn how to build "Legacy-Grade Habits" that transform not just what you do, but who you become. Discover the "Growth Loop"—a simple, self-reinforcing engine that combines foolproof habit architecture with a resilience-building mindset. Perfect for busy mothers, aspiring entrepreneurs, and anyone ready to move from wishing to building with consistency and self-compassion.
