Ep. 346 - 6 Reasons You Know What to Do... But Still Don’t Do It

Summary

Ever said, "I know what to do... I just don't do it"? You're not alone. In this episode, Chase and Chris break down the six real reasons people struggle to follow through on their goals—and what to do instead. From motivation drops to emotional avoidance, they show how your identity, mindset, and daily systems play a bigger role than willpower alone.

They share relatable stories, client wins, and easy strategies that anyone can start using right away. If you're tired of starting over every Monday, this episode will show you how to actually stick to the habits that move you forward.
