James Clear: Forget Your Goals, Focus on Systems

from The Property Couch Hosted by Bryce Holdaway & Ben Kingsley

Building on from Episode 482, where we explored why progress tracking is key to healthy financial habit formation, we’re bringing back an old episode where we uncover... The 4-step framework from James Clear on how to build good habits and break bad ones – for good! For those unfamiliar with this best-selling author of Atomic Habits, James applies a unique blend of scientific research and practical life to breaking and building habits. His website receives millions of visitors each month, and he is a regular speaker at Fortune 500 companies. We’ll explore his distinctive perspective on habit-building, decision-making and continuous improvement from creating environmental design to the “scaling down” strategy. It’s an episode about creating lasting behaviours, overcoming setbacks and what encompasses true behavioural change. Tune in now!
