The Temptation to Stop Short

Being conscious about what you are doing is key in all areas of your life and Gordon looks at what happens when you haven’t quite got something across the finish line or you haven’t given yourself the opportunity. Ultimately it’s all about being self-aware  when you stop short and be conscious of your actions. You can stop yourself from self-sabotaging and not getting to the finish line if you understand the importance of consistency and recognise when a process isn’t working and what you can take forward.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Everyone can have a different finish line and it’s important to understand where your finish line is. Getting to a 100% is about taking the time to practice and finesse your skills Can you identify where you are leaving something on the table You need to make sure the customer is getting 100% Sometimes the last 5% can be the most difficult to achieve Motivation is key in getting across the finish line If you are not consistent you may stop but it’s important to give everything an opportunity to work out. If you quit early you can still take the things that worked onto the next thing If something isn’t working you can change your approach You need to give something an opportunity for success Things don’t change overnight it’s a longer process You have to trust the process and give it time If you have allowed the time and a process isn’t working out then you can change it   BEST MOMENTS ‘The finish line can seem a long way away’ ‘Consistent action and goal setting is the key to success’ ‘A learning experience is something that you can benefit from’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Life, Living It and Loving It podcast   ABOUT THE HOST     Welcome to the life, living it and loving it podcast with Extreme Execution Coach Gordon Done.    We don’t know about you, but we’re fed up of burning ourselves out and living in a state of survival.
