17b. Rewards of Being a Finisher
This is Anne with your Coaching on the Go.
Last coaching episode I talked about when you are not quite going to succeed in the strucFunnelsture you decided you were going to.
Maybe something has come up, and you have ended up changing your calendar or how things are going to happen, but you have still allowed yourself to resourcefully stay on the path to completion.
Once on the other side of that, you feel so fantastic about yourself.
Having followed through on restructuring and being resourceful within missing a deadline that was my fault, that carried over into my team, I had the opportunity to regroup, and continue to stay forward thinking.
I was able to be responsible about what I didn’t get in on time with my team, and my team and I rose to the challenge and produced something really beautiful.
I was able to celebrate my team and myself, having accomplished a massive amount of work in a two day period, staying up until midnight, getting up at 4 or 5 in the morning and staying focused.
When I went to bed last night after completing all the work, I felt such an elation that came from me having followed through with myself, my commitments, and understanding there is always more.
There’s always more in there.
There’s always another level you can get to.
When you do that over and over, pretty soon you just understand you have that additional level when you need it.
When you are procrastinating, it feels heavy and it’s tiring.
It takes a lot of energy.
When you shift into moving forward and accomplish what you set out to accomplish, even if it’s not quite on the same timeline or trajectory you originally planned, you feel so energized.
I know that’s why I’ve been able to work extended hours without getting sick or fatigued.
It is because I am excited about the vision of where I’m going and that I’m continuing forward on it.
The coaching today is wrapped around the benefits, the giant rewards you get to feel and engage with on the other side of a possible problem or something that has set you back.
Instead of quitting, instead of putting it to the side for a week and missing your deadline, the benefits, the pride, the feelings of elation, the energy, the reinforcement of your possibility as a human you get from following through and completing, being someone who’s a finisher.
I highly recommend it.
Today your coaching is about the rewards of follow through.
Practice that and see how it feels.
Pretty soon it will be your standard, where continually you are following through, and succeeding.
Have a beautiful day, and until next time, sending you some big love.
