Wayne Gretzky finished with more points than anyone in hockey history. He got there by shooting, a lot, and missing thousands of times along the way. Nobody starts ready. The first rep is supposed to be ugly, and ready shows up after you start, never before. In this episode: the lie the quit voice tells you on day one, and today's rep. Today's rep: Think of one thing you keep putting off until you feel ready. What goes through your head when you think about starting it? Say it plainly. My head says... finish that sentence. Then name how it sounds: nothing, calm, or loud. Start anyway. The first try is supposed to be ugly. Every athlete hears a quit voice. This show teaches you to answer it. Hear it. Check it. Finish it. Hurt gets reported. Hard gets overridden. From the book Think Like a Finisher by Coach Jon Haws. Get the book and the free Finishers Mindset app at FinishersMindset.com
