For May Yeo Silvers, every day can be January 1st—a chance to act on your goals without waiting for the “right” moment. In the first episode of 2025, May unpacks the challenge of maintaining momentum with New Year resolutions. Why do so many of us wait for a Monday or the first of the month to begin? May challenges this mindset and shares why the first 90 days are crucial for building habits that stick.
May doesn’t shy away from the truth: enthusiasm fades, often by the third month, when progress feels slow or motivation starts to waver. So, what’s the answer when your drive dwindles? May suggests taking short, intentional breaks to recharge without losing the momentum you’ve worked hard to build. She raises an important question: how quickly do you recover when you fall off track?
May offers advice and encouragement, reminding us of the value of taking short, purposeful breaks to recharge without losing momentum. She cautions against extended pauses, which can disrupt progress, and inspires listeners to prioritize resilience, recover quickly from setbacks, and lean on supportive communities for accountability. With the right community and accountability, you can sidestep procrastination traps and stay on track. This episode serves as both a reality check and a pep talk, encouraging you to rethink your approach to goals and sustain your drive throughout the year.
Quotes
• “Life will happen, and you get busy, and there are distractions. You keep pushing back and pushing back and pushing back the deadline to pick it back up. People or successful entrepreneurs are people who, when they fall off the wagon, it’s not just about getting back on the wagon—that’s step number one, all right? But what is going to differentiate them from just going back into the grind to actually rising from the grind is how FAST they get back up on the wagon.” (10:02 | May Yeo Silvers)
• “Allow yourself some time to reflect and to rest, but do not take longer than necessary because you will lose the enthusiasm. In business, we say ”time kills all deals”. If you want to do something, do it now.” (10:44 | May Yeo Silvers)
• “Do not give yourself more time than you need to restart and know that you’re not restarting from ground zero.” (13:48 | May Yeo Silvers)

Staying motivated AND accountable to yourself when the results are not what you expected even though you had “given it all” is one of the MOST CHALLENGING obstacles that stands between you and your goals.
It’s good to have the know-how, but it is GREAT to have a community to support you when you are feeling discouraged, to help pull you up and push you to get out of the funk and more importantly, inspire you to believe that YOU CAN DO IT.
