Don’t Come Out Of The Gate Too Fast (2421)

from Next Level University · host Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros

Starting small only works if you plan to build. In this episode of Next Level University, Kevin and Alan challenge one of the most common mistakes in personal development: confusing sustainable habits with low standards. It is easy to come out too fast, burn out, and blame the process. It is just as easy to start small, stay small, and wonder why the results never come. Through coaching lessons, fitness examples, financial habits, and hard-earned perspective from thousands of episodes, Kevin and Alan explain how to find the right pace for growth. Not too aggressive. Not too comfortable. Just challenging enough to build skill, identity, discipline, and long-term consistency. _______________________Book Alan’s Business Breakthrough Session.
