HOW TO BECOME SOMEONE WHO FINISHES WHAT THEY START

1. Decide that you value the character trait of follow-through as a key part of your personal integrity.
2. Create accountability systems for yourself and plan out action steps.
3. Give yourself deadlines and timelines – and then just do it.
4. Remember that once you are in motion, you will stay in motion – finishing what you start will get easier and easier as you go and get used to committing to doing what you say you are going to do.

3 WAYS FINISHING WHAT YOU START WILL TRANSFORM YOUR HAPPINESS

1. You will be more successful.
2. You will have more confidence and self-trust.
3. You will heighten your personal integrity, which will lead to deeper contribution.

METHODS TO SEE YOURSELF DIFFERENTLY AND TO ADDRESS WHY YOU HAVEN’T ALWAYS FINISHED WHAT YOU STARTED IN THE PAST

Why didn’t you finish what you started before – lack of belief that you could do it, fear of judgment, thoughts that it didn’t matter / wouldn’t make a difference, perfectionism?

It’s time to start seeing yourself differently – to see yourself as God sees you and as others see you.

>Ground yourself in the belief that you are a new person daily – and growing constantly

LISTENER OF THE EPISODE:

Dear Trish,

I want to tell you that what you do–your talents to encourage people and help people discover and maintain their confidence–is so important and such a gift to so many people.

Throughout my life, I have labeled myself as a non-finisher but I am determined to finish your book Insecurity Detox. And I will. The first few chapters so much of myself-my life-has already changed for the better. I am more confident now than I have ever been.

In preparation for a recent interview, I played one of your podcasts as I walked outdoors to try to clear my head. In it, you said some things about finding worth in ourselves. That things worth going for are worth the risk. I stopped here and there and wrote notes on my Starbucks cup (it was all I had to write on!) and took a picture before I threw the cup away so I’d remember these things later.

I gave the best interview of my life that day. It was like it wasn’t even me. I knew at that point I’d become to emerge from a life filled with negative self-talk into something far better, but I was on the cusp–not quite yet believing I was all the good things I was trying to tell myself. But I had your words and my faith combined to pull me back each time I started to revert to my old thoughts.

I got the job.

I am so thankful. Insecurity Detox and Confidence on the Go were KEY to having the courage to go for this new chapter in my life, and I’m so glad for it. Thank you.

I was recently searching for some motivation and listened to “How To Take Massive Action”? That is exactly what I needed! I want to be healthy and after eating a dozen cookies in the last 24 hours, I’d say massive action needed!

Again, Merry Christmas and have a wonderful New Year!

Sincerely,

Robin
