Quick Secret To Success: Stop Starting Things And Start Finishing Them Instead

***

Today I have a bit of a rant for you...

Something that really frustrates me right now is seeing people start things and not finish them.

In this video I tell you why that is, and how to get something back underway and done through to completion.

I needed this. I am way more of a starter than a finisher of things. I have things that are so close to being completely done and yet for some reason instead of completing the last step, I put them aside for a moment, as if I needed a break, and the moment turns into a long time, and in the meantime I start another 2 or 3 things. I don’t know why it’s such a common struggle. I think for me, the biggest things keeping from finishing things is often the worry that it won’t meet my expectation once it’s out there. It’s a process of letting go of my own expectations and sticking to it till the end, to then find out what it really can do.

I needed this so badly. I am so good at starting things but absolutely terrible at finishing them. For instance, I'm also guilty with starting books, not finishing them but then go off looking for the next book to buy at the bookstore and repeating this cycle over and over. And this is just one example. I have so many unfinished projects I need to take care of. And you're right, the feeling of actually finishing something is just indescribable. Thank you so much for this Matt.

Love how your advice is always practical and focused on the big picture--never resorting to sensationalism. The novelty of starting something new is fun and exciting, but quickly fades. Whereas finishing something is lasting and contributes to long term growth.

This video really struck a chord with me. Thank you for posting this video. It was a reminder that an easy life has less responsibilities but it doesn't have any of the rewards or satisfaction of a life that has struggled but has made it through to the end. I don't want a simple life. That's boring. I want to be amazing. I want to prove to myself that I can do it. Just stop overloading, make and take the steps. Worrying about perfection is getting me nowhere. Getting into the work, challenging myself is the only way I'm going to get somewhere. Thank you. Your videos mean the world to me.
