In our last episode, we met Bobby, a sales leader frustrated by a stagnant team. Alongside high-performance coach Alan Stein Jr., we explored the importance of simplifying success and committing to the process.
In this solo episode, Jay dives into five practical habit hacks designed to help you follow through with the actions that matter most. Drawing from research by James Clear (Atomic Habits) and his own experience coaching professionals around the world, Jay shares strategies to build systems that support consistent action, even when motivation fades.
You’ll learn how to preview and review your day to plan ahead and reflect on progress, stack habits by pairing new actions with established routines, pair activities to maximize time, make habits visible so they stay top of mind, and make the process fun to keep yourself engaged. Each hack includes real-world examples, from simple Post-it reminders to creative games, that show how small tweaks in environment and mindset can lead to big results.
If you’ve been struggling to stay consistent with the habits you know will move you forward, this episode offers clear, actionable steps to help you finally make those habits stick.
