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.
