Why Most People Fail Before They Even Start

Lesson Objective

By the end of this lesson, you’ll understand why most people never achieve their fitness goals and how to avoid the biggest mistake that keeps them stuck.

The Real Reason People Quit

Most people think they fail at getting in shape because of:
❌ Not having the right workout plan
❌ Struggling with motivation
❌ A slow metabolism

But that’s not the truth. The real reason most people fail?

👉 They don’t have a deep enough reason to keep going.

They rely on motivation, but motivation comes and goes.
They try to “push through,” but life gets in the way.
They chase quick results, but when the scale doesn’t move fast enough, they quit.

💡 The people who succeed don’t have more discipline than you. They have a stronger reason to keep going.

My Story: How I Almost Quit Before I Even Started

I didn’t have it all figured out when I started. I didn’t know the perfect workout. I didn’t have the best diet. But I had something that kept me going: I knew exactly why I wanted to change.

Growing up, I felt stuck. I was overweight, uncomfortable in my own skin, and I had zero confidence. I avoided photos, never felt good in my clothes, and deep down, I didn’t believe change was possible for me.

The turning point? Seeing my driver’s license photo.

It wasn’t just the picture—it was the realization that I didn’t like the person I had become. I felt like I had been drifting through life, and for the first time, I told myself:

🚀 If I don’t change now, I never will.

That single moment was enough to get me to take action. I started small—just walking one mile a day—and that one small step led to a complete transformation.

I lost 75 lbs.
I gained confidence.
I built a life I never thought was possible.

But it all started with knowing my WHY.

Find Your Why – Your Turn

If you don’t have a strong Why, it’s only a matter of time before life gets in the way. So let’s lock it in now.

🔥 Action Step: Answer these questions in your notes, journal, or even on your phone.
1️⃣ Why do you want to change? (Be specific—what is your deeper reason?)
2️⃣ What happens if you DON’T change? (What does life look like if you stay the same?)
3️⃣ How will your life be different if you DO change? (What does your future look like?)

Write this down somewhere you’ll see it every single day.

🚀 Your Why is your fuel. Make it unshakable.

Your Next Step

Now that you have your Why, we’re going to build the first habits that actually stick—so you never feel stuck in the cycle of starting over again.
