Outcome Goals vs Survival Goals: The Goal-Setting Strategy That Actually Works
Monday, 19 January, 2026
In this episode of the Coach Cody Podcast (2026 New Year Series), We talk about the real reason most goals fall apart: they only work when life is going perfectly.We break down the difference between outcome goals (lose X pounds, hit a PR by a deadline, “be consistent forever”) and survival goals (the minimum you can do when your week goes sideways). Because the truth is: most people don’t quit because they don’t care, they quit because they don’t have a Plan B.You’ll learn:Why outcome goals feel motivating… but fail when stress hitsWhat “survival goals” are and why they prevent the all-or-nothing spiralSimple examples for training, nutrition, and mental health3 questions to build your own “worst week” plan (so you don’t quit the whole week)Sponsored by Legion: I personally use Legion because their supplements are transparent, clinically dosed, and third-party tested.Use code COACHCODY at checkout.
