"You become what you focus on" - Anonymous
I believe this to be true. If you believe that you will succeed you will most likely succeed. If you focus on why you will fail, you will most likely fail.
I am a firm believer that it is not how you start BUT how you finish that is most important. It does not matter if you are placed in situations where the opportunity can be found, if you never fully take advantage of it.
Most people are great starters. I am one. BUT most people are terrible finishers. I am working on being a a better finisher.
This blog is one of the tools I am using to become a better finisher. It was tough to write a daily post for 365 days. It would have been easy to stop writing after the 365th day and to say been there done that now it is over. To continue writing it when I no longer have to is helping me develop a finisher attitude.
Currently I am editing my second book that is based on this blog. The easy thing would have been to just dump all of the posts into a document and push it out to kindle. I did not do so. I felt that I owed my readers a great product. I felt that to take the time to finish it properly would teach me to be a better finisher.
Today's question is:
"Are you a starter or a finisher?"
