‘People who don’t make excuses are the ones you want on your team. They are the ones you can count on when the pressure mounts. They are the all-stars, the leaders, the consistent winners in life.’– Dr. Jason Selk and Tom Bartow

Winners don’t make excuses. If you want to be a winner in your life, do not make excuses. Start taking actions, start facing your fears.

‘People who don’t make excuses are the people you want around you.’

People want to be around winners, around doers, around achievers. If you want people to be around you, then you have got to change what is not working for you. Change your bad habits. Stop making excuses. Start confronting your fears. Now is the right time to do it. And you can do it.

‘If you want to be successful in your life, you must surround yourself with people who don’t make excuses.’

Leaders don’t make excuses. They face their problems. They take responsibility for their failures, for their screw-ups. So if you want to be a great leader, you must take responsibility for your life. Do not hide behind excuses.

And consistent winners don’t make excuses. If you want to be one of them, you have got to stop your excuses. Stop them before they stop you from achieving success in your life.

And you can. How? One step at a time. One action at a time. And one fight at a time. The more you do, the closer you are to where you want to be.

Don’t Set Your Goals Too High

‘Setting goals too high and hoping to ‘get close’ is one of the most damaging things you can do to your performance.’- Dr. Jason Selk and Tom Bartow

If you want to achieve success in your life, you need a powerful goal. It is important to have one or two. But setting your goals too high is not going to help you. Instead, it is going to demotivate you.

Goals are motivators, not demotivators. If your goals are not encouraging you, if your goals are not motivating you, then you need new goals. Maybe the ones you have right now are too high for you. If they are too high, you won’t be able to make them happen. And when they are too low, you won’t learn anything from them.

‘If you want to be successful, if you want to achieve greatness in your life, do not set your goals too high.’

The best thing to do is to set goals you can achieve, but not too low. And not too high. Because you need them.

Without a goal, you are not going to achieve success. You won’t even know what is going on in your life. You won’t even know where you are, what you are doing, and where you are going.

Remember, your goal is your guide. If you want to get to the next level in your life, you need a new goal. Do not be scared to start again.

If the goal you have right now is not working, then set a new one. Do not forget that life is about growth. If you do not have a goal, if you do not have something to fight for, then how are you going to grow?
