Fits & Starts: Why We Quit

You are determined to keep up with your exercise routine and start off strong, working out 5 days a week, crushing your runs, and slowly, it starts to peter out.

Maybe you launch a side-hustle you’ve been thinking about for years. YOu create a logo, a website, and write a few blogs, hell, you even start telling people. Then you get caught up in your full-time job or other responsibilities and the side hustle turns more like the slow waltz to nowhere.

This week, we are digging into this phenomenon, you know, the one where people don’t finish what they start, and we’re going to give you clear strategies so you don’t give up...or better yet, don’t start what you really don’t want.
