Finishing Quotes

Quotes About Finishing
  • I like finishing a movie and having this living, breathing thing. --Dean Cain
  • If you enter a race and finish last, you are a winner. The loser never entered the race. -- Roger Crawford
  • Starting strong is good. Finishing strong is epic. -- Robin Sharma
  • Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they DON'T QUIT.
  • Keep your eyes on the finish line!





Finish Well to Begin Well | MWM
Finish Well to Begin Well = Are we ever really finished? Is there ever a finish line to leadership or living your best self? Finish is a word often looked for in projects or timelines—we want to check it off and be done. But in the world of leadership, you're not finished, you're reassigned and being challenged to the next thing. While you might be finished today, you have just begun tomorrow.


What Legacy Are You Leaving?
The Work Begins Now = One of the primary goals of a leader is finishing well. To do this, leaders need to be humble, emotionally healthy, and able to receive feedback. Great leaders who finish well also ask “What legacy am I leaving …?” What are you going to do today, to set up a team so that when you finish, they keep going strong?

The Difference Between Legendary and Average | MWM
https://youtu.be/2bNG98_YPJ0
Focus is the reflection of life greatly lived—by those who know how to put the focus of their activities, energy, finances, and resources in the right area and stay disciplined in that. Get focused in your daily life and in your resources, and meet at the destination. Put your focus in life and leadership to do something great.





The True Definition of Focus | MWM
https://youtu.be/ceGSx3h0ZME
Focus On What Matters Most = Intentional focus can lead to the creation of great things. Accomplishing your goals will not be the result of doing more, but instead, the result of doing what matters more. As you grow you will have to say no to something, many things that are good in order to say yes to something better.



MWM | FOCUS
Choose Where You Focus = Where are you going to focus? Where are you going to place your attention? Where you place your attention influences what you think about. When connecting with others, If you discuss and focus on the things you have in common, then you feel like you are the same kind of person. If you focus on the differences, then you feel like you are butting heads. Choose where you focus, ignore the differences, and focus on the common ground, and connect with what you have in common.


Fix Your Mind on Your Goal | MWM
https://youtu.be/FZEFFQ1Qnyw
Focus On Your Target = The moment you begin to focus on what you want to accomplish, you will receive the energy required to accomplish it. A distracted person lacks energy. When you set your mind to something you desire to accomplish—with concentration and focus—it will energize you. Focus on your target, and you will be filled with energy to accomplish your goals. 


You Can’t Be Known For Everything, But You Must Be Known For Something
Narrow Your Focus = What do you want to be known for? You can’t be known for everything, but you do need to be known for something. Think about your gifts, strengths, and background … What are the few things you can focus on in your leadership and organization?  Focus on what you want to be known for and what you can add value to, and you will experience momentum as a leader.



https://youtu.be/mKHOw1CvcvE
Focus On What's Important = What you focus on expands. If something is important to you, write it down. Put before you what you want to expand, and put behind you what you want to shrink—stay focused on what you want in life. 



What Your Organization Must Be Focusing On
https://youtu.be/c7cHq2uiYIc
Focus On The Customer = Where is the spotlight of your organization shining the brightest? Oftentimes, organizations have an internal focus, shining their “brightest spotlight” on the issues and day-to-day processes of the business.
Conversely, thriving organizations have their spotlight shining the brightest on their customers. They focus on the customers’ problems and how their offerings solve those problems. With this external focus, organizations can gain momentum and become more effective. How can your organization serve the customer better?

Justin has built five multimillion-dollar businesses, and has generated over two billion dollars in revenue, and today he’s here to share with you what it looks like to live intentionally.

Lead On Purpose = When you lead on purpose, you will always find a way forward—to persevere—and there will always be an answer. Leaders who stay connected to their purpose, or their why, will always find the strength to persevere through their challenges—your purpose fuels your perseverance.




3 Things that Move You Through the Finish Line
https://youtu.be/8M3M3Z9fZ5Q
Move Through The Finish Line = There are three levels of persevering in leadership: 
  1. Commitment will get you to the starting line.
  2. Consistency will get you to the finish line.
  3. Persistency will get you through the finish line.

Leaders need to persevere through the inevitable ups and downs in their organization's journey, in order to move through the finish line. What values and strategies do you need to communicate to your team that will allow them to persist through the finish line?




All About the Short Strides - Perseverance allows you to get to where you want to go. So, continue to persevere and give it all that you have and watch how much you will attain. You're may not reach the goal right away, but you're closer than you were yesterday. Keep moving forward!

  • You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race. --George Bernard Shaw
  • To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment. --Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • You must make your choice: either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon; or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. --C. S. Lewis
  • We must be the same person in private and in public. Only the Christian worldview gives us the basis for this kind of integrity. --Charles Colson
  • As Christians, we must see that just because an artist-even a great artist-portrays a worldview in writing or on canvas, it does not mean that we should automatically accept that worldview. Good art heightens the impact of that worldview, but it does not make it true. --Francis Schaeffer
  • God's people need to unashamedly and uncompromisingly stand on the Bible. We need to unashamedly proclaim a Christian worldview and the gospel, all the while giving answers for the hope we have. --Ken Ham
  • My wife and I come from a Christian worldview. --James Lankford
