174 | Motivation Isn't Enough: What Successful Coaches Do Instead - with Rebecca Liljendahl

Episode 174 Published 3 weeks ago
Description

What if consistency isn’t about discipline, but about designing habits for your real life? In this episode, Joanna speaks with habit specialist Rebecca Liljendahl about why we struggle to do the things we know would help us, and how to build habits that last even on our worst days.

This episode is valuable for coaches who know what they need to do to grow their business, but struggle to stay consistent with visibility, marketing, self-care or follow-through.

By the end of this conversation, you’ll understand why motivation alone isn’t enough, and how to create simple, realistic habits that support your business and your life.
