Are you stuck in cycles of extreme motivation followed by burnout? You’re not alone.
In this episode of The Freedom Project Podcast, I share a powerful framework for rethinking willpower, using the story of a client who shifted from the engine model—forcing himself forward—to the sail model, where willpower feels calmer, more stable, and less fragile.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Why the “engine model” of willpower leads to burnout and frustration.
- What the “sail model” is, and how it creates sustainable progress.
- How to stop forcing motivation and start harnessing the energy that’s already there.
If you’re ready to achieve more with less stress and more flow, this episode is for you.
