Don’t accept excuses.

When you don’t accept excuses, you know that everything depends on you and the actions you take. You are more motivated and ready to undertake massive actions.

1. Think about what you do when you don’t meet a deadline or fail to achieve a goal.
   If you have a tendency to move the finish line, the next time you are close to the deadline, increase your efforts and amount of action. By meeting a reduced aim, you will not feel satisfied or motivated to action.

2. Make a list of excuses you often use when you don’t meet a goal.
   Take a look at them and honestly consider whether they are the real causes of failing to achieve your goals or whether you didn’t do everything that was in your power.
