Choices are Impacting your Life: Positively and Negatively
I love
️starting, there is an excitement to starting, it’s so fresh and new! Finishing I really had to work on! It’s like once I “get it” it didn’t excite me anymore. I related to this story from 🦈Shark Tank. Can you see parts of yourself in it?
A gentleman who called him self an inventor, not an entrepreneur, came on with the first product he invented as a teenager. When he was asked by the Sharks more about his background he shared:
“One day my girlfriend asked me to move an elliptical out to the garage, I couldn’t get the elliptical through the door without either taking it apart, or taking the door off. The easier solution was taking the door off. So I did and put the elliptical in the garage for her.”
“When I told her I finished getting it in the garage, she said: ‘great, now put the door back on its hinges.’ I teased her about not giving me credit for getting it out there and her comment was: ‘you never finish anything you ever start so go put the door on it hinges.’”
He explained further that was the pivotal
moment for him. SHE WAS RIGHT. He went and dug out his dollar store notebook that he has had for 15 years, since he was a teenager. It is filled with all of his inventions and he went to the very first one and patented it and started selling it.
And guess what? She is now his fiancé.
This amazing man realized that having something as simple as putting the door back on changed his life forever. He simply made a choice.
Read these questions and as each one it true for you say YES out loud.
Are you one to start something and rarely finish it?
Do you put conscious energy into completing what you started?
Do you frequently say you bore easily?
Do you think you suck at sales?
Are you telling yourself you’re too busy?
Are you saying it’s too hard?
Where you honest with yourself as you answered?
Did you finish the assignment and say yes out loud?
The point of the story, and these questions is in every moment WE CHOOSE. He chose to finish things from that moment forward. Every choice is pivotal for the next step. Where do you need to make a different choice?
