NO EXCUSES!

People are filled with excuses when it comes to failure.
It's a rare occasion when a guy can just admit error, gather energy and move ahead in wisdom.

I am especially unnerved by those who make a commitment, then drop the ball and come up with some true whoppers to rationalize themselves. Who are we kidding? Either you're going to produce results or not.
NO EXCUSES!


People determined to achieve potential find a path to success while others find a handy excuse.
Just today an associate was supposed to get with me "first thing" Monday....and here we are...2:30pm...no call...no show...and my response?

DONE!

Once this guy realizes our business is cut off, he'll call with a load of excuses:  his phone was off; the kids were sick; lightning struct - whatever...TOO LATE!

And it's the same with health and fitness. If you want to become the best version of yourself, be very selective with your friends. Like attracts like...and if there is anything in you which desires to hang with mediocrity, you need to check the source of that attraction.

People who know me say I am jolly and fun, but beneath that veneer is a guy with an intensity when it comes to standards. I am very careful not to connect with anybody who's going to move me away from my goals. I do not expect perfection. One of my first litmus tests is whether a guy takes ownership of his desires or makes excuses.

That's what separates a winner from a loser. A success oriented person owns his mistakes, centers his efforts, makes changes and moves forward toward his ideal. Losers look externally for motivation, then rationalize failure.

No thank you!
I have no place in my life for that, and neither should you...

ALL IS POSSIBLE!
