Summary

Success is not just about knowing what to do. It's about doing it. Information, plans and goals will not get you where you want to go. Success is about something bigger. To succeed at anything worth doing, you must make key shifts in your environment, mindset and community that "turn on" the actions needed for game-changing results.


I call this "Success Scaffolding." It applies to everything, from weight loss to business, and relationships to careers. In today's episode, instead of our traditional guest conversation, I'm sharing what I call the "7P Success Scaffolding™" framework. Every element, every step, nothing held back. Why? Because it is that time of year when millions commit to big, new, deeply-meaningful goals, only to walk away or fail by the time we hit February. Not because we don't want it badly enough. Not because we're not smart enough. But, because we do not have our Success Scaffolding in place. This is my New Year's offering. I shared it for the first time in 2017, and it feels like time for a refresher as we enter 2018. It is about helping you make this year different, bridging the gap between hope and reality.

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to the year 2018.

0:07.0

I'm Jonathan Fields and this is Good Life Project.

0:10.0

So today's a bit of a special episode.

0:12.4

Normally on a Monday, we have a long-form conversation with a guest and we will be back to that

0:18.2

next week.

0:19.2

But I wanted to start the year a little bit differently this time, so this is not your

0:23.2

normal conversation.

0:24.7

This is a time of year where so many people hit pause and reflect on the year that's

0:30.6

behind them and then really do some planning and they say, okay, this is what I want to

0:35.3

happen in the year to come and they pick goals.

0:38.9

Sometimes we call them resolutions.

0:41.0

Sometimes we just call them goals.

0:42.7

Sad fact is the vast majority of it, no matter what you call it, ends up pretty much out

0:47.7

the window within a matter of the first few weeks of the year and within about a month

0:51.9

and a half, almost all goals and resolutions big and small have failed in some way or

0:57.9

have been abandoned.

0:59.2

And the thing is, it doesn't have to be that way.

1:01.8

In fact, something like 85% of all New Year's resolutions are the same ones that have been

1:05.3

made in prior years.

1:06.3

So the question is why?

1:07.8

Why do we fail at achieving things that we say?

1:13.0

We really proclaim after thinking about it that this is really important to me.
