Great competitors stay committed. There will always be excuses, always a reason to quit, move on to something else, or put it on the shelf for later. Great competitors commit. They move away from language like, “I’ll try”, that immediately gives them a way out, and they use more declarative statements like, “I will.” Having the mindset of completion allows them to move forward with stronger intention and will.   LESSONS: Commitment is a key element to becoming a great competitor. Try to shift away from words that give you an out and become more proficient in the language of commitment. Commitment isn’t about perfection but it is about showing up and remaining on task.
