Around this time every year a common word begins to resurface: “Resolutions.” And while we all have the best intentions of beginning the new year with all the energy and motivation to make positive changes in our lives, inevitably 92% of resolutions fail. It’s easy to make excuses and say that “Life got in the way,” but if you truly intend to achieve your goals in 2018 and make positive progress towards the life you truly desire, I promise you it’s gonna take a lot more than willpower and motivation. It will most likely require specificity, intentional action, and if you’re really serious – you’re gonna need a coach.
In this episode I speak with Jeanette Goodrich, a former air force pilot and now one of the top high performance coaches on the planet who was trained by and works directly with Brendon Burchard, the world’s #1 most-watched personal development trainer and one of the top 100 most followed figures online, in addition to being the #3 highest earning high performance coach on the planet.
Jeanette and I break down the simple but powerful steps anyone can take to reframe their goals in a more realistic manner, recognize and overcome the obstacles that have been stopping them in the past, focus on what truly matters, and take real action that get results. Most importantly, we talk about the number one factor that most people ignore when setting goals: Their deeper “Why.”

Listen, standing desks are only great if you’re standing well, otherwise you’re constantly fighting fatigue and chronic pain. Not like any other anti-fatigue mat, the Topo is scientifically proven to help you move more throughout the day which helps reduce discomfort and also increase your focus and productivity. And they’re really fun and a great conversation starter.
