Excuses Cleaned Up Still Count

Today's quote from my book:

“These are well-dressed excuses.”

Doing What You Know, Chapter 9, p. 170

A lot of people do not call their hesitation an excuse. They call it preparation. They call it timing. They call it needing a little more clarity, a little more organization, or a little more confidence.

That is what makes excuses so effective. They rarely show up looking weak. They show up sounding reasonable.

You tell yourself you will start Monday. You tell yourself you just need a little more time. You tell yourself you want to do it right. Meanwhile, nothing moves.

That is the trap.

An excuse does not stop being an excuse because it sounds responsible. If it keeps delaying action, it is still costing you progress.

The breakthrough starts when you stop dressing it up and call it what it is. Once you do that, you can finally move.
