Thoughts from Isabel Price with my added comments.
98%… pretty close to 100%, right?
That should be enough to get you to your goals… or not.
Here's something most people don't realize: being 100% committed to your goals is actually easier than being 98% committed. And I say this as someone who has had to learn it the hard way more than once.
Let's take the goal of getting healthier, for example.
Scenario 1: You've decided to eat a little better and maybe hit the gym when you have time. You're trying, and that matters.
Now compare that to…
Scenario 2: You set a specific goal — lose 10 pounds in 30 days. You follow a meal plan with meals already laid out. You schedule gym time for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday right after work.
Which one gets results? Scenario 2. Every time.
It's not that Scenario 1 was bad — it wasn't. But it left too much room for those everyday debates we all have with ourselves:
- "Is this food healthy enough?"
- "Should I eat this much or maybe just half?"
- "Is today a good day for the gym? Maybe I'll go tomorrow."
When you leave room for indecision, you're more likely to choose the option that doesn't move you forward. That's not a flaw — it's human nature, and we all deal with it.
But with Scenario 2? There's no room for debate. It's either on the plan, or it's not. It's a gym day, or it's not.
I'm not saying you need to turn your whole life into a rigid schedule. But when there's a goal you really want to reach — something that matters to you — going all in makes the path so much clearer and the outcome so much more certain.
And here's what I've learned over 22 years in real estate and in life: you can apply this to almost anything. Your career goals. Learning a new skill. Building better habits. Growing your business. Even something as simple as a better morning routine.
So I'll ask you — and I'm asking myself too, because we're all works in progress:
What is your biggest goal right now?
What would 100% commitment actually look like for you? Not perfect. Not robotic. Just clear, intentional, and all in.
You owe it to yourself to find out. And I'm right there with you, working toward it too.
