Tackle Today: Excuses ✋🏻
October 1, 2018
≈ No more! ≈
A simple message to start your week off for all of us in the Tackle Trading community. Zero excuses this week on why we do not achieve our weekly goals. Excuses are like air, they exist constantly surrounding you wherever you go. Excuses are common:
- When you ask a six-year old why they didn’t do their chores, they might respond with “I forgot.”
- When you ask your employee or co-worker why a project isn’t completed they may respond with, “I didn’t know it was a priority” or “I have not had enough time.”
- When you ask your congressman why the government is a mess you likely will get a long-winded response on why it is everyone else’s fault but theirs.
We all have other things in life pulling at our time and energy. There are always reasons (aka excuses) why we didn’t accomplish more in any given time period. It is time for all of us to become the type of individuals who eliminate excuses and take responsibility for our actions. It is time to become the rare individuals that others can look up to as a model of accountability and performance. It is within each of us to achieve great things so let’s set high goals this week and accomplish those goals.
Write down right now what you want to do with your trading this week. Then your next step is to do it! Feel free to share with us at team@tackletrading.com what you want to accomplish as we are here to listen and give any advice that might help you reach your weekly goals!
