Baseball and basketball players – even golfers – know that the shot won’t be made unless your follow 
through is perfect. It’s no different in business, except that this is not a game. This is your livelihood and your ability to impact change in your community, church, home and school. When you own your own business, there’s not much separation between life and work! That’s why it’s so important that you make the shot.
You’ve been working on finishing a goal this week that you’ve been putting off, a goal that if you accomplished it, should be a major cog in your wheel. If you didn’t, don’t give up! Just dust yourself off and make more realistic steps to advance on it.
See, that’s the point. You needed to start somewhere. Now you have a baseline.
If you made it, YAAY! Leave us your comments and encourage someone whose been struggling with a goal, maybe only a choice surrounding that goal, but something that became too big to step out on. Not many people take positive steps and incorporate real changes into their work environments, but that’s what it takes to morph into the company you’ve been envisioning.
What did you learn on your journey? Did you give up part way through?
Find out what your halting point was, and go smaller. But keep moving forward.
Did you recognize areas where you learned you needed more education? Great! Did you make steps to get that education, and carve out time to learn what you need to know?
How about your time frame? Was it realistic? Could you have finished with just a little more time? Well, unless you’re dead, you need to keep going until you’re done.
I think timing is the most significant thing to consider when you already have a busy company, but want to grow it beyond its limitations. You can’t afford to NOT do your day-to-day activities.
Unless, of course, that’s exactly what you need to figure out. Sometimes the changes that have to be implemented are the ones that take us out of a task someone else could be doing better. Yes, I said it. There may be someone in your organization who can do a better job at something you’ve been doing for years.
Your next step is what will make the shot. Here’s to a great follow through!
