Success requires us to start; it also demands that we persevere to the end and finish strong
When I coach people who are beginning a new endeavor, new job, or new project I start with this quote from Lao Tzu on starting strong, “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” I add to that thought a thought that we must persevere and finish strong.
“You’ll never get there if you don’t start; you’ll also never get there if you don’t finish.”– Denis McLaughlin
Starting something new is difficult and we may need encouragement to step out. Equally important though is the determination to persevere to a successful end. Zig Ziglar put it this way, “Where you start is not as important as where you finish.”
