The Power of Possibility: Breaking the Resolution Cycle
Ever found yourself making the same New Year's resolutions year after year, only to abandon them by February? You're not alone. While 80% of resolutions fail within six weeks, Michael Hyatt's approach has become the go-to guide for breaking this cycle. What makes this framework different is its foundation in both rigorous research and real-world application-tested with thousands of people through Hyatt's Full Focus company. Even Olympians and Fortune 500 executives have adopted this methodology, finding that seemingly impossible goals become achievable through a five-step framework. In a world where most personal development advice falls flat, this approach stands out for its remarkable success rate and practical wisdom. The journey to extraordinary achievement isn't about more willpower-it's about better systems and mindset shifts that transform how we approach our goals.
