Listen on…
Even the most vigilant goal-setters have been known to stumble when approaching the finish line, but my guest today, Jon Acuff – entrepreneur, New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, and popular speaker, has cracked the code on how to SIGNIFICANTLY increase your chances of FINISHING what you start, and you’re going to be pleasantly surprised to hear how to make it happen.
In writing his most recent book Finish: Give Yourself The Gift of Done, Jon commissioned a study where nearly 900 people were studied for six months to figure out what really works, and what doesn’t when it comes to being able to finish what you start.
Jon breaks his findings down in six areas with an overriding theme of embracing imperfection throughout (ugh! This is gonna be hard for some of us…).
“Developing tolerance for imperfection is the key factor in turning
chronic starters into consistent finishers.” – Jon Acuff
Here are the six secrets to finishing what you start that Jon divulges on the podcast today:
SECRET 1: Cut your goal in half
SECRET 2: Choose what to bomb
SECRET 3: Make it fun!
SECRET 4: Leave your hiding places and ignore noble obstacles
SECRET 5: Get rid of your secret rules
SECRET 6: Use data to celebrate your imperfect progress
So, if you’re about to start something or you’ve got a list of half-done projects that you’d like to finish – don’t wait another minute – listen to my conversation with Jon today.
