Hoping for change won’t get you there—habits will. In this episode, Mikel challenges you to stop wishing for results and start building the small daily disciplines that create long-term transformation.
Hope is not a strategy. In this motivating episode of Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel reminds us that goals aren’t reached by simply wishing or vision boarding them into existence—they’re built on the back of consistent habits. Drawing from Jeff Olson’s The Slight Edge and Galatians 6:9, he unpacks how success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal and why small wins compound over time. From health journeys to building businesses, Mikel shares how discipline over comfort is the key to achieving what God has placed in your heart. This episode will inspire you to identify one habit you can lock in today to build momentum toward the life and calling you’ve been dreaming of.

Hoping for a better future isn’t enough—you need habits that back it up. Mikel shares how goals aren’t reached by wishing but by building daily disciplines that compound over time. He quotes Jeff Olson’s definition of success as “the progressive realization of a worthy ideal” and points out that discipline over comfort is the path to reaching what God has placed in your heart.
Whether in health, business, or leadership, small wins add up and transform your life. Galatians 6:9 reminds us not to grow weary in doing good because a harvest is coming if we don’t give up. Today, lock in one habit your future self will thank you for—and start building momentum.
