Trying is NOT good enough!

I am going to finish that project!

I am going to try and finish the project!

Who do you think finished the project?

 

Well we sometimes defeat ourselves without even realizing it. How often have you said you will try to get to a meeting knowing that you have another event the same day? Or, when you say you will TRY to make a party and you really mean there is no way I will be there.

 

TRY is one word that is hard to erase from your vocabulary, but with coaching and practice it eventually disappears.

 

That makes you more straightforward in your speech. Makes you more respected in what you do. More confident in yourself as you know when you say something it is your word and you will stick by it. Others view you with more respect as they know where you are coming from. You even feel more confident saying, NO, I cannot make the meeting, but, I will have someone attend in my place. Or, I will follow up with you tomorrow to find out what I missed.

 

Go ahead. See if you can stop yourself using the “TRY” word one time today. Two times tomorrow and so on. Make it a habit.

 

If you cannot do it yourself, get a coach. What else can a coach help you with?
