How to actually reach your goals in 2026 Like most people, I set goals and New Year's resolutions. I used to miss them more often than not. I'd see the same pattern in myself that I watched play out at the gym. Every year, hundreds of new faces join the gym in January. 90% are gone by February. --- Everyone talks about habits. But habits run on willpower. Life happens, you miss a day, then two. You need even more willpower. Life happens again. Then you quit. The way to actually reach goals? Identity. If you identify as a gym-goer, an entrepreneur, someone who turns ideas into income—even without proof yet—you'll overcome every obstacle to match that self-image. --- Thomas was a lawyer. He took a sabbatical to figure out what he really wanted. Turned out, he was crystal clear: Relationship and intimacy coaching. But he couldn't let himself be seen as that. The shame of "what will people think?" kept him frozen. Once we released that shame? He stepped into that identity. Now he's fully booked. --- But here's the hard part: How do you trust yourself when you feel like an impostor? How do you get rid of the doubts and self-sabotage? These are all emotions. And most people aren't aware of them. We suppress, avoid, and escape them through distractions. Emotions are fuel for limiting beliefs. They keep them alive. We carry unconscious beliefs from childhood: • "I have to work hard to prove I'm worthy" • "If people see the real me, they'll reject me" • "I'm not qualified enough to charge that much" And underneath all of them: "I'm not good enough" --- Let me show you how this works: Someone calls you stupid. You have enough proof otherwise. There’s no emotional reaction. That insult doesn't hold you back. But when your friend teases you: "Look at you, building an online business. You're not an entrepreneur." You think: "I'm going to prove him wrong." That trying to prove it? That means you don't believe it. There's anger behind it. To create a new identity, you have to release the emotional charge behind the limiting beliefs. No emotional reaction = the belief stops making emotional sense. You're free to act. --- You already know what you want to do. But something keeps stopping you. Maybe it's fear of being seen. Maybe it's reaching out to people. Maybe it's trusting your own decisions. When you release what's blocking you, the excuses disappear. The gap between who you know you are and how you're acting closes. You finally act. That's how you reach your goals. If this resonated and you want to crush 2026 by dissolving the beliefs that have held you back for months or years—and you're ready to face what you've been avoiding—comment "2026" or DM me.

Working on your business through the holidays? Is it because you love what you do? Or because stopping for even a day feels like falling behind? One is passion. The other is wanting control. Let go. That's when the best ideas show up.

Most high-achievers keep learning but it never feels like enough. Because it's not curiosity driving it, but a belief: 'I'm not good enough.' More courses won't make you feel ready. Working through that belief will.

Your mind is like an iceberg. You only use the tip: The conscious part. You have goals, systems, habits... And yet you don't act. Because below the surface, there's an emotion you're avoiding.

You can't buy back the years you're trading for the money you think will buy you freedom.

Logging off for the weekend. Nature. Family. Rest. Reset. Sometimes the best productivity hack is doing nothing. See you Monday.

"I'm just not a confident person." That's not who you are. It's what your subconscious learned when being authentic felt dangerous. Shyness isn't your identity. It's tension contracting you when you become vulnerable. Release the tension. The shyness dissolves.

I used to think emotions were weakness. Now I see them as my guidance system. The feelings you avoid contain the answers you seek.

I kept sabotaging myself for years. Until I healed my trauma. I spent four years learning and attending workshops to learn different techniques and modalities. Here are the most powerful trauma healing methods that helped me, and can change your life too: 🧵

Do you keep sabotaging yourself? I did for years too. Here are 5 steps to stop the self-sabotage: (Read until the end to get the most out of it.)

Want to build a business on X? Considering joining a cohort or hiring a coach? The bitter truth: You'll fail. Let me explain. Yes, some succeed. But most will fail. How do I know? I invested in business mentoring 4 years ago, and I failed. Many who started on X alongside me have already given up. Today, I'm part of Grindset University, and some of my peers have already thrown in the towel. So, what sets the winners apart from the rest? You need to be at a certain level of personal development. Unlike in RPG, we have different starting positions in life. Some of us have faced trauma, battled social anxiety, and struggled with low self-esteem. Life isn't fair. It's about how you play the hand you're dealt. When I was 18, Twitter was just a year old and had less than a million users. Most homes in central Europe didn't have an internet connection back then. I was fortunate to have internet access at home, with an astonishing speed of 256 kbps. But even if opportunities existed, I would have failed. Heck, I wouldn't even start. Why? I was painfully self-conscious, had social anxiety, and couldn't even look strangers in the eye. Discussing my failures and admitting I can't even talk to girls? Unthinkable. I had enough self-doubt as it was. Engaging in calls with someone I met online through DMs? Absolutely terrifying. Social anxiety held me back. If you've grown up with disadvantages, the first step is to grow into a stronger, more confident man. And that's where we come in. We're launching an online brotherhood.
