Does your team suffer "Excusitis"?

Cure Yourself of Excusitis, the Failure Disease discovered by David Schwartz

Go deep into your study of people, and you’ll discover unsuccessful people suffer a mind-deadening thought disease. We call this disease excusitis. Every failure has this disease in its advanced form. And most “average” persons have at least a mild case of it.

You will discover that excusitis explains the difference between the person who is going places and the fellow who is barely holding his own. You will find that the more successful the individual, the less inclined he or she is to make excuses.

But the person who has gone nowhere and has no plans for getting anywhere always has a book full of reasons to explain why. Persons with mediocre accomplishments are quick to explain why they haven’t, why they don’t, why they can’t, and why they aren’t. Sound familiar?

Study the lives of successful people and you’ll discover this” all the excuses made by the mediocre fellow could be but aren’t made by the successful person. I have never met nor heard of a highly successful business executive, or leader in any field who could not have found one or more major excuses to hide behind. Roosevelt could have hidden behind his lifeless legs; Truman could have used, “no college education”; Kennedy could have said, “I’m too young to be president”; Johnson and Eisenhower could have ducked behind heart attacks.

Like any disease, excusitis gets worse if it isn’t treated properly. A victim of this thought disease goes through this mental process: I’m not doing as well as I should. What can I use an alibi that will help me save face? Let’s see: poor health? Lack of education? Too old? Too young? Bad luck? Fear of Coronavirus? Lockdowns killing business? Too much competition? No time? Uncertainty?

Once the victim of this failure disease has selected a “good” excuse, he or she sticks with it. Then they?rely on the excuse to explain to others why they are?not going forward. And each time the victim makes the excuse, the excuse becomes embedded deeper within his or her subconsciousness. Thoughts, positive or negative, grow stronger when fertilised with constant repetition.

In your individual program of thinking yourself to success, vaccinate yourself against excusitis, the disease of the failures.
