Summary

🔥 Complete your application for the new 8 Week Defense Strategy Co-Creating Program 🔥

What if the reason you haven’t reached your goal… has nothing to do with the plan?
What if you’re stuck because your goal — like a boat — has a hole in it?
Or no rudder?
Or no defense when the storms hit?

In this powerful episode, I’m breaking down 3 major reasons people stall out, give up, or spin in circles despite trying really hard:

💥 The 3 Hidden Goal Killers:

No Rudder – You’re jumping from one thing to the next, chasing what’s new, what’s urgent, or what feels exciting — but you’re not steering toward anything.
Holes in the Boat – You’ve got a plan, but it leaks. You keep sinking because of old stories, patterns like “I’ll start tomorrow,” and mindset gaps you haven’t addressed.
No Defense – You’re great when life is good, but you have no strategy when stress, chaos, or curveballs hit. So the plan fails. Again.

I’m sharing real client stories — and personal ones too — about how these show up every single day. And more importantly: how we can stop the cycle and finally make progress that lasts.

🛑 If your goal should take 6 months but it’s been 6 years, something has to change.

This is the change.

0:00.0	If you want to be more consistent, you're in the right place. I'm Elizabeth Benton. Welcome to
0:07.1	Consistent, a podcast by Primal Potential that is for all of you who feel frustrated by your lack of
0:13.3	progress or overwhelmed by all the change that you want to make in your life. Here, we stop frantically
0:20.5	chasing new habits and start
0:22.6	strategically building a structure of consistency. Let's get into it.
0:28.9	Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the primal potential podcast. I am Elizabeth Benton. I want
0:35.3	today's episode to get personal. Sometimes we listen for entertainment,
0:38.8	but we're not really looking at rolling up our sleeves and saying, what am I going to do with this?
0:46.3	And I want this episode to be an episode that forces you into, spurs you into action. The kind that creates a shift that sticks, not just a
0:58.5	breakthrough or a moment of insight. Insight is useless if it doesn't lead to change, action,
1:07.6	doing something different. So let's dive in. I want to introduce three patterns,
1:13.9	and I want you to think about which one is most at play in your life. Which of these three
1:21.2	is holding you back more than the others? These are huge barriers. They all show up in different ways, but they all keep
1:29.3	you stuck and keep you from reaching the goal and maintaining it and being able to put it behind
1:35.0	you instead of wrestling with it for years or decades and never feeling like you ever truly
1:40.7	tackle it. Which one sounds most like you? And then do you have a strategy for it
1:46.0	to overcome it? And if you do, is that strategy working? And if you don't, are you ready to change that?
1:52.0	Now, for the last couple of weeks, I would say, I've been talking about this idea. You've probably
1:57.7	heard me talk about it. If you haven't, let me take a minute to get you up to speed here.
2:02.3	I've been talking about this idea that we can think of your life and or your goals as a metaphorical
2:08.7	boat, which might sound really silly, but stay with me. Yes, I mean like boat in the water.
2:15.6	When most people think about transformation or change or goals, they're imagining where they
