I have a pet peeve. It is a really big pet peeve. I am going to share it with you at the risk of ruffling a lot of feathers out there. I know because when a coach pointed it out to me years ago, my head nearly spun around. That was my first clue that she was on to something big that I needed to take a look at!

Maybe you don’t use excuses yourself, but perhaps you have been around someone who uses every excuse in the book for why they can’t achieve the results in life they desire: lose weight, excel at their job, show up on time or manage their finances? It is always someone else’s fault, circumstances beyond their control…blah, blah, blah.

I know because I am a recovering excuseaholic myself. I used to do that with my weight all the time until I realized that I am completely responsible for every morsel of food that enters my mouth and every time I choose to sit at my desk rather than working out. I have friends who are consistently late and have watched them come up with some doozy excuses. The answer is – leave earlier.

At UpLevel, I have even initiated a NO EXCUSES policy because I am not interested in reasons, I am only interested in results. It might sound harsh, but I am a believer that until people start living from a place of the results they desire to create, rather than the reasons they use to keep them from achieving the results, that they will never live their dream lifestyle. And if you have ever coached with me, you know that I am not letting you sign up for anything less than exactly what you desire. And if you are on my team, I am not willing to accept anything less than consistently striving for mastery.
