I Love Mortgage Brokering 687: New Year's Resolutions Don't Work. Do This Instead
What if the reason change doesn’t last is because you’re using the wrong strategy, not the wrong goal?
New year, same problem: most people set big goals and quit before February. But what if change wasn’t about willpower, but about identity, peer groups, and accountability that actually works?
In this solo episode, I break down three tools that actually make change stick. These are the exact strategies I’m using in my own business and life right now and they’re already creating massive momentum.
If you’re tired of setting goals and not following through, this episode will give you a practical roadmap for doing it differently this year.
What We Cover:- Why Peer Groups Matter – How the people around you shape your habits, identity, and baseline for success.
- The Identity Shift Framework – How the story you tell yourself turns into action—and the hidden beliefs that hold you back.
- Accountability That Works – Why being accountable to your buddy fails, and how a simple pact with someone you don’t want to disappoint (like your kid) can change everything.
- The Adam Rule – A real-world strategy one broker used with his daughter to create daily discipline with serious emotional leverage.
- Why Change = Story + Standard – How shifting your internal narrative creates lasting identity change.
Resolutions fade. Identity lasts. Change your story, upgrade your environment, and get accountable to someone who truly matters. You won’t need another “fresh start.”
