Understanding the Cost of Excuses

Excuses rob you of opportunities, progress, and growth.

Excuses stem from fear, procrastination, or a fixed mindset.

Excuses are reasons people give to avoid doing something they should. They often come from being scared to fail, putting things off, or believing they can’t improve.

Excuses stop you from trying new things and solving problems. They can hold you back from learning, improving, and achieving success in school, work, or life by limiting your efforts.
