After all, as Tom says “If you want this year to be a success you need to get up and make it happen. You need to believe you can do it, then you need to take action to make it happen.”
Because there are people who will complain “Oh my boss won’t do this and that”, “I don’t have time to do what it takes” whatever their excuse of the day is. But in reality, there are winners and whiners. In fact, the winners find a way to achieve their goals without excuses and distractions getting in their way.
As the famous Chinese proverb goes “People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it”
