Description

Overthinking kills progress. In this episode, Coach Steve reveals how to make success easier by removing friction, shrinking goals, and embracing the “two-minute rule.” Stop waiting for perfect — and start stacking small, simple wins.

Today’s Action Step: 

• Simplify your setup. Reduce steps between you and your goal. Prep gear, layout, playlist, everything ahead of time.
• Shrink the goal. If motivation is low, lower the bar. Doing something small beats doing nothing.
• Automate success. Put reminders in your phone, alarms, or use habit apps. Don’t rely on memory — rely on systems.
