Why do we struggle to stay consistent when trying to build new skills?
It usually comes down to this: we’re chasing a goal without knowing why it really matters to us.
In this episode, I walk you through Step 1 of the Skills Scaffold—Clarify the Why—and show you how to shift from goal-chasing to skill-building with purpose.
You’ll learn:
- Why motivation fades (and what your brain does instead)
- The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic reward
- How to use the Five Whys to find what’s really driving you
Plus, I’ll share a personal story about the shift that helped me stop falling off track—and finally build the skills I care about most.
Whether you're starting a new skill or picking one back up, this step is the foundation that makes everything else stick.
