You have big, audacious goals, and you know what you *could* and *should* be doing to reach them.
Despite having both the motivation and the know-how to get things done, you’re confused as to why you can’t seem to accomplish your goals.
At the end of each week, each month, or each year you look back and feel guilty about all that you didn’t check off your to-do list, and you wonder if it’s because something is wrong with you, or that maybe you don’t have enough willpower to reach the huge goals you set for yourself.
I’m here to tell you that nothing is wrong with you, and that willpower is overrated.
