There is a big difference between being interested in achieving a special goal and being
committed to it. Committed people stick to their agreements. People merely interested in a goal have some reason for not achieving it -- the time’s not right or the plan was not good to begin with. The sales rep who merely hopes for improved sales, the factory foreman who only tries to
increase production are defeated before they begin. But for people who have made the decision to achieve – the commitment to achieve – there are no such things as mumbled excuses.
Their goals are finessed and single-mindedly pursued. If you really want to get something done, decide to do it, and commit to your commitment.
And your objectives will soon become your accomplishments!
