from Sales Secrets · host Brandon Bornancin
As the New Year begins, many people set ambitious goals only to abandon them weeks later. In this episode, Brandon reframes why change is so difficult: people don’t resist effort, they resist identity loss. He breaks down the difference between goal pursuit and identity preservation, why motivation fades, and how fear of becoming someone new quietly blocks progress.You’ll learn how to design change that feels safe, why behavior sticks when identity evolves first, and how to reframe New Year’s resolutions into identity decisions that compound over time.
What this episode covers
People don’t fail to change because they lack motivation... they fail because change threatens identity. In this New Year’s episode, Brandon explains why resolutions break down, and how identity-first change actually sticks.
