Stop Moving the Finish Line: How to Set Goals That Actually Stick

Achieve Your Apex

Why does success sometimes feel so far away—even when you're working hard?

In this episode of Achieve Your Apex, Chad Hyams exposes a hidden reason people burn out or give up on their goals: the moving finish line. Whether it's social pressure, shifting standards, or creeping self-doubt, too many driven people sabotage their own success by constantly changing what “done” looks like.

💡 Here’s what you’ll discover:

How “mirage goals” create fatigue and kill momentum

The danger of scope creep in life—not just in business

Why writing down clear goals increases success by 33%

The role of external noise (social media, opinions, comparison) in distorting your vision

When to evolve your goals—and who gets to decide

How ancient perspectives on a flat Earth mirror the need for evidence-based clarity in goal setting

🧭 “Clarity creates confidence. Wandering finish lines create fatigue.” — Chad Hyams

Packed with practical insight, research from the Dominican University of California, and a classic quote from Zig Ziglar, this episode will help you plant your flag—and protect your finish line.

🎯 Your mission: Make your goal real. Make it yours. Then go get it.
