Why Your Goals Never Stick (And What Actually Works)


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. Derrick Hines breaks down why most goals fail — not because of lack of motivation or discipline, but because of how goals are designed in the first place.

Rather than focusing on outcomes, this conversation shifts attention to processes and systems that actually drive long-term change. Dr. Hines explains why willpower fades, why motivation isn’t reliable, and how building repeatable behaviors leads to progress that lasts.

This episode is for anyone tired of restarting, falling off track, and wondering why good intentions never seem to stick.

Topics Covered:

-- Why outcome-based goals often lead to frustration

-- The difference between goals and systems

-- How process-driven habits create lasting change

-- Why motivation fades and what works instead

-- Getting through the “boring middle” of progress

-- Building consistency without relying on willpower

🎧 Tune in to learn how shifting from goals to systems can help you finally create change that lasts.
