Summary

92% of New Years Resolutions fail according to an University of Scranton study. (Did you just think of The Office?) Those are pretty grim odds, but there's a secret I'm sharing in this episode that will help you beat them.

I'll walk you through how to set a fail-proof goal, share how I did on my goals this year (spoiler: I didn't finish them all and that's okay), and tell you about my goals for 2022 so you can see how to set yourself up for success in the new year.
