Most People Quit. Will You?
By January 10th, nearly 23% of people have already given up on their New Year’s resolutions. By the end of the month, that number jumps to 43%.
This day has become so infamous for quitting that it’s now called "International Quitter’s Day."
But here’s the real challenge: only 8% of people stay committed to their goals for the entire year. The question is - will you be one of them?
The 8% Club isn’t about motivation. It’s about having the right strategy, mindset, and support system to see your goals through.
Why Do So Many People Quit?
Maureen Hewitt, Founder of Positive Success Group, recently wrote about Quitter’s Day and why so many resolutions fail.
“Resolutions made in the excitement of the New Year’s mindset often lack the commitment required for long-term change.”

Many people set vague, overly ambitious goals with no clear action plan. Others struggle with self-doubt, competing priorities, or a lack of accountability.
Instead of quitting, what if you could train yourself to be a finisher?
This is where neuroscience-backed coaching - and workshops like “You Are Invited to the 8% Club" - the difference.
How to Beat Quitter’s Day and Join the 8% Club
Success doesn’t happen by accident. Here’s how you can stick to your goals, build lasting habits, and avoid becoming part of the Quitter’s Day statistics:
1. Set Clear, Achievable Goals
❌ Instead of “get fit,” say: “Work out for 30 minutes, 3 times a week.”
❌ Instead of “grow my career,” say: “Apply for 2 new job opportunities each month.”
2. Break Down Big Goals into Small Steps
Large goals can feel overwhelming. Breaking them into manageable, achievable steps builds momentum and keeps you engaged.
3. Track Your Progress
Use a journal, app, or even a coach to monitor your journey. Tracking your success reinforces commitment and helps you adjust your strategy when needed.
4. Celebrate Small Wins
Achieving even minor milestones triggers dopamine release, reinforcing the habit. Reward yourself for progress to stay motivated.
5. Invest in Coaching for Sustainable Change
Science shows that neuroscience-based coaching helps build new habits, rewire limiting beliefs, and create lasting change.
How Neuroscience Coaching Helps You Finish What You Start
Maureen Hewitt’s “You Are Invited to the 8% Club” workshop, offered via That Day’s corporate wellness platform, uses neuroscience-based coaching to help you rewire your thinking and stay on track.
"The biggest challenge isn’t setting a goal—it’s making sure you don’t quit when things get tough. Neuroscience coaching gives you the tools to create habits that last."
– Maureen Hewitt, Positive Success Group
