Summary

The reality is that only way to change your life is to change your habits. Setting bigger goals is fun—but if you don’t identify and implement the habits that are necessary to achieving your goals, you’ll be setting yourself up for disappointment.

Today, I'm sharing four (4) simple steps that will help you transform your habits, which are so easy to implement that you'll feel like you can't fail. Once they're part of your routine, they become automatic, to the point where I don't even think of them anymore.

Whether you're looking to improve your health, your finances, your mindset, or your relationships, these simple steps will help eliminate resistance and help create new habits that are practical and sustainable.

I'll also share tips on avoiding the common pitfalls that hold people back, aligning your habits with your identity, and how small, consistent changes can completely transform your life. If you've struggled with creating new habits and tend to get stuck in old patterns, you'll be able to take that first step towards the goals that align with who you are and who you want to become.

0:34.7	Hello, friend, it's Hal Elrod, and welcome to the Achieve Your Goals podcast. I hope you're having a great day today, or I should say, as I tell my son when you dropped him off this morning, I hope you are making it a great day today.
