About this episode
Half of all Americans make New Year’s resolutions each year – but how many succeed? According to a study conducted by the University of Scranton and published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, only EIGHT PERCENT of people who set resolutions will actually succeed in implementing them. Today, we want to share why we believe that so many people fail – and the ONE thing you can do to be successful in making the changes you want to make this year. In this episode, you will learn...
