Why Starting Small Changes Everything - A Smarter Way to Think About New Year’s Resolutions

About this episode

Michael discusses how starting small can lead to lasting change in achieving New Year’s resolutions.

New Year’s resolutions don’t fail because we lack motivation—they fail because we start too big. In this episode, Michael shares a simple but powerful idea from training science: before you train to win, you must first train to train . Instead of chasing big outcomes, you’ll learn why starting embarrassingly small—like one push-up a day—can be the key to building real consistency and lasting change. If you’re tired of goals that fade by February, this episode offers a calmer, more sustainable way to begin. Start smaller than your ego wants to. The rest will come.
