Excuses Excuses

Absolutely no one who is good at making excuses is also good at making money! The skills are mutually exclusive.



I hear on a weekly basis from some people in my organization about their terrible past, their failures, their challenges and constantly remind them (at the risk of being considered ridiculously blunt) that as soon as they stop whining about that and focus on their goals, they’ll succeeed…period.



When Sylvestor Stallone kept his belongings in a bus station locker, slept in alleys, and scrounged food from dumpsters early in his career he could have made many excuses. He didn’t…the rest is history.



Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen were rejected by numerous publishers, published many books, audio cassettes and entire courses without being noticed and could have made excuses about why they couldn’t go further. They persevered and succeeded with Chicken Soup for the Soul…the rest is history.



Start today creating paths to your goal versus making excuses.
