Why You Fail at Goals | The 1% Better Rule for Real Change

Have you ever made a big goal, felt excited for three days, then quietly gave up? You're not lazy. You're just using the wrong strategy.

This is the story of David—a man who failed at change for ten years until he discovered the 1% Rule. The principle that turned his life around could transform yours too.

🎯 THE 1% RULE:
If you get 1% better every day for one year, you improve by 3,700%. Not 365%. Three thousand seven hundred percent. You become 37 times better.

But if you get 1% worse each day (skipping workouts, wasting time, breaking promises), you decline by 97%. You almost disappear.

The difference between who you are and who you could be? 365 tiny steps.

✨ IN THIS VIDEO, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
Why "all or nothing" thinking keeps you stuck
The math behind compound habits (1.01^365 = 37.8)
How to choose your ONE habit that changes everything
The running shoes principle that makes habits automatic
How identity change beats motivation every time
David's transformation from stuck to unstoppable

Watch this powerful story to discover why your big resolutions always fail, and how the *1% Rule* – choosing one impossibly small habit and doing it consistently – compounds into transformation you won't believe.
