Build Habits That Stick: Start Small, Stack, Schedule & Track (Locally Owned)In this episode of Locally Owned, the host explains that motivation may start goals, but habits determine results, sharing a personal trick for getting back to the gym by giving himself permission to do just one rep. He argues the best way to build habits is to start ridiculously small, then grow consistency over time, applying the approach to business tasks like cold calling. He breaks down how habits form through cue, craving, response, and reward, and shows how awareness of what you’re really craving can help replace bad responses with better ones. Key strategies include scheduling habits on the calendar, habit stacking, redesigning your environment to change cues, pairing “need to do” tasks with “want to do” rewards, and tracking progress. He closes by linking habits to a bigger life vision using his SHARING template and offers a 12-module course with three free modules at yourgoalmind.net.00:00 Falling Off the Gym01:20 Habits Beat Motivation02:56 Start Ridiculously Small03:55 Small Habits in Business04:44 The Habit Loop Explained05:54 Craving the Real Reward07:25 Schedule Your Habits08:44 Habit Stacking Chains09:48 Design Your Environment10:54 Temptation Bundling11:32 Track Progress for Motivation12:57 Connect Habits to Vision13:23 Sharing Template and Course14:48 Final Wrap UpMy Email: [email protected]
