Do You Finish What You Start?   

“In life it is far easier to start something

than it is to finish it.”

Lou Ludwig, Sales and Management Consultant, Success Coach,

As I see it . . . . . . .

 

Do you finish what you start?

 

It’s easy to start something and to put more irons in the fire. But it’s not until you start to take the irons out of the fire and finish what you started, the irons have very little value.

 

Starting things without finishing them is like jugglering, there’s a lot of activity but no meaningful progress.  The best that you can hope for is to keep the balls in the air. 

 

It’s not what you start; it’s what you successfully complete.

 

Start the things that are most important to you and your success. Follow through on them with passion until you create a successful outcome.

 

Starting things without a clear purpose will waste the resources of your time and energy when you could have been using them to focus on what’s important.

 

Start what’s important and finish them.

 

Do you finish what you start? Focus on what’s important to you and go after them with tenacity until you bring them to a successful conclusion.

Good morning Lou,

Absolutely correct...so many people have so many irons in the fire, then get frustrated when they feel their efforts are not producing results.  They forget, if an "iron" isn't hot, it won't get results.

Lou: I would hope so. Sometimes what I start has a change along the way but I think it's important to follow through. Thanks for the post!

I try to finish what I start as often as possible.  It's hard to stay focused for the long run but success is a marathon, not a sprint.

good point, as are the comments -- I think most of us have been guilty of starting and stopping at times, so we can draw upon those examples to see how these episodes can set us back.
