YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION Most people end Q1 the same way they started it. Behind on goals. Ahead on excuses. In this solo episode, E breaks down why that happens — and what to actually do about it before Q2 starts. This isn't a motivational pep talk. It's a direct, honest look at the real reason you keep self-sabotaging — even when you know exactly what you need to do.
