What is going on? Everybody, welcome back to the Mind Over Macros podcast. As always, I'm your host, Mike Milner.

In today's episode, we are going to break down why New Year's resolutions fail. First of all,

Happy New Year is officially 2025 as this episode comes out and that's pretty crazy i keep saying that

every time i say the the word or the number 2025 my brain is like that every time it's not a

that's not a real ear there's no way because it just seems like not possible. How are we in 2025? Anyway, we're here. And so this is

kind of my annual thing. I've been doing this since I started the podcast because a lot of people

who listen to the show set goals and have stuff that they want to accomplish. And then when we look at the

statistics, like this is the prime period for goal setting. More people will be setting goals

right now in the next week or so than any other time of the year. And then we have that infamous

study that was done at the University of Scranton that showed about 8% of those people will actually achieve their goals.

And I just find that to be really sad because it does not have to be that way.

I think the unfortunate thing is we have so much more information that tells us why resolutions fail, and we also have more

information to tell us what actually succeeds, and yet as a whole, we keep falling into the same

patterns of failure, and it's just not necessary. I think it's, well, we're going to go over why it's happening, but I'm going to give you the most common mistakes that people make when setting resolutions and what you can do differently in 2025 to be successful.

So that's really going to be the, I might just call it that. What to do differently in 2025 to be successful. So that's really going to be the, I might just call it that.

What to do differently in 2025 to achieve your goals? Before I get into that, I'm going to give away a

free supplement. Because like I said, if you've been paying attention to the podcast,

this is the time of year where a lot of people don't listen.

And so we're about to kick things up now that it's January.

The views, the listens, the downloads, whatever you want to call it, will start to increase again.

That doesn't mean you should stop participating and trying to win.

It just means that your odds are going to go down a little bit.
