Morning Motivator – Commit and Go!

What is WORSE than someone that never commits to anything?  One that commits, then never FOLLOWS THROUGH.

Here is some STRAIGHT TALK.  You KNOW whether you want to do something from the moment you think of it.  You may have to check to see if you have the AVAILABILITY, but you know if you are interested.  You may have to check with your SPOUSE, but, again, you know if you are interested. 

You may be too WEAK or SCARED or whatever to say to someone's face that you are NOT interested, but you KNOW if you are or are not.

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
Here is the deal.  When you COMMIT to something, you are saying, "Yes, you can rely on me to be a part of your solution" to someone else.  They count on you; they build systems, timeframes, measurements and communications around YOU.  They make special arrangements in their manners of EXECUTION for YOU.

When you say "YES" and don't ever show up, or just quit before starting (like that is somehow noble), you are F*&%^ING up the whole system!  I assume I do not have to repeat that…

You want respect as a LEADER?  Commit or do not.  You want trust as an INDIVIDUAL?  Commit or do not.  You want to RUIN your reputation amongst others?  Commit… then bail. 

You are either IN or OUT.  Do not be a weenie – if you are out, just buck up and say it.  Otherwise, people will just STOP ASKING. 

Cheers,
Zach
