Lewis Howes

โ€œI want this to be the best year youโ€™ve ever had.โ€

Why Your Goals Fail By February (And How to Fix It)

Lewis opens with a hard truth: goals don’t fail because your dreams are too big, they fail because your system is too weak. 

He shares the exact framework he’s used for 13 years to show up consistently for his podcast, master public speaking from a place of crippling fear, and build multiple streams of success. Through personal stories of sleeping on his sister’s couch while dreaming of speaking on big stages, Lewis proves that massive transformation starts with micro actions you take today.

He breaks down how writing your goals increases success by 43%, why accountability kept Mr. Beast and his mastermind partners locked in for 1,000 consecutive days, and how celebrating progress instead of chasing perfection will change your relationship with achievement forever. This isn’t about motivation that fades by February, this is about building systems that work when life gets hard.
