Mid-Year Reset: Turning Resolutions Into Real Results

In this episode of the TraintoAdapt Podcast, Adam Shergold and Kaeden Stander dig into one of the most overlooked yet powerful points in the year — the mid-year reality check. While research shows that 92% of New Year’s resolutions fail by mid-year, the most successful people use this halfway point to reset, refocus, and accelerate progress.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

• Why mid-year reviews boost goal achievement by 42% and how to use them to your advantage.
• The four categories of progress — on track, ahead, slightly behind, or stalled — and how to honestly assess where you fall.
• Why high achievers underestimate their progress by 30%, and how to flip your focus from gaps to gains.
• The power of micro-progress tracking and why celebrating small wins increases success rates by 40%.
• How contingency plans (Plan B & C) triple your chances of sticking with long-term goals.
• Why accountability partners who are ahead of you in your target area boost results by up to 95%.
• The science behind breaking goals into micro-actions to reduce goal abandonment by 63%.
• Why 90-day planning cycles outperform annual goals by 76%, and how to build in “buffer zones” for real life.
• The encouraging truth about progress — it’s not linear, and most big wins come in the final 40% of the goal period.

This conversation flips the script on resolutions: mid-year isn’t a failure point — it’s an opportunity point. With the right mindset, strategies, and science-backed tools, you can finish the year stronger than you started.

Listen now to learn how to reset your goals, rebuild momentum, and make the second half of the year your most successful yet.
