Finishing Strong: Reflection & Question for the Week

Reflection for the Week: Finishing Strong

The NFL playoffs remind us that starting the season strong gets attention, but finishing strong wins championships.

Every team faces setbacks, injuries, and tough moments throughout the season, but it’s those who persevere and stay focused in the final stretch that define themselves.

For example, think?about your goals and ambitions as you?start the New Year. They seem easy in the first few weeks of January. But what happens in April? What happens in August?

Are you still going, even after the excitement wore off? Starting is easy. Anyone can begin with excitement and energy.

But finishing—when the stakes are high and fatigue sets in—that’s what separates the good from the great.

As leaders, how we finish our projects, our goals, and even our week... speaks volumes about who we are.

Question for You

• When things get difficult and the initial excitement wears off, how can you push through to finish well?
