Winning the Day: A Better Way to Set Goals in 2026
Every January, people set big goals—and by February, most of them are gone.
In Episode 51 of The All Access Podcast from Dent Repair Now, Gene Fetty explains why traditional New Year’s resolutions fail and how focusing on daily execution creates real momentum.
The Problem With Yearly Goals
Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year and underestimate what they can do in a single day. Big goals feel easy when they’re far away, but daily discipline is where progress is made.
The Power List: Win the Day
The solution is simple:
-
Choose 3–5 actionable tasks
-
Complete them in one day
-
If they’re done, you win the day
Stack enough daily wins and the year takes care of itself.
This approach is inspired by Andy Frisella’s “Win the Day” philosophy from the Real AF Podcast.

Focus Finder Sessions
Gene also discusses Focus Finder sessions:
-
50 minutes of uninterrupted work
-
One task only
-
Short breaks between sessions
Even shorter focus blocks (20 minutes) can create massive progress when distractions are removed.
Apply It to Business and Life
This system works for:
-
Growing your business
-
Training and skill development
-
Fitness and health
-
Reading, learning, and personal growth
Once something becomes a habit, it comes off the list—and the next priority takes its place.
Final Thought
You don’t need a new year to change your life.
You need to win today.
