It's one thing to get started pursuing your goals...
It's another thing to actually follow through with your goals.
A lot of people have no issue getting started...
Which is great because stepping outside of your comfort zone to start something new is a great character trait to have...
But for every single person who starts...
There are far less who finish.
If you truly want to win long-term and see your goals through to the end...
You need to develop the skills that most "self-starters" don't have.
You need grit...
You need perseverance...
You need to identify and solve problems quickly...
...and you need to remove quitting from the table.
Nobody is going to give you a participation trophy for starting.
Make sure you finish.
That's what it takes to win.
