My wife accuses me of terrible bouts of indecision because I am a planner, and she is a big time do-er.
Everybody knows that you have to focus in order to do something well.
I tell myself and my daughter and my customers to focus 100 times a day.
Deciding to focus is easy. Linking Focus with Finish is another thing altogether.
Everybody realizes that sometimes in order to reach a goal, you have to focus your energy. I can focus on a project for hours...For me, though, that doesn't usually result in "Finish."
I am a notorious starter...and even my grandfather could tell that I was a slow finisher. I am working on my "finishing" because I think that successful people finish.
Finisher's Quality: Finishing is one part focus and 3 parts action.
I feel that I have accomplished something or had a really good day when I have focused on my goals, and completed the two or three essential action items necessary to see the project through ALL the way to completion.
I always have to apologize when I stop before I am done.
Go Finish.
