Week 2 is where most people fall off…

Ever notice how the first week of a new plan feels exciting?


You’re fired up. Motivated. Dialed in.

Then…

Week 2 hits.


Your schedule gets messy.


You miss a workout.

You grab takeout instead of meal prepping.

You tell yourself, “I’ll restart next Monday.”


That’s not a discipline problem.

That’s a system problem.


Here’s the truth most coaches won’t tell you:

Motivation gets you started. But friction is what stops you.


Friction is what happens when your environment doesn’t support your goals:


  • No meals ready to go
  • No reminders to train
  • No structure built into your calendar
  • No accountability when you slip


That’s why the real win isn’t in the first week.

It’s in building a system that makes Week 2 (and every week after that) easier.


I teach my clients to automate their progress — so they don’t have to rely on willpower.


And that’s how they win.


If you’ve been stuck in the “start-over” loop, reply with “SYSTEM” and I’ll show you how to build one that actually fits your life.


To your strength and success,
