"There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning."~Louis L'Amour
Wow, how many times has that happened to you? Just when you think that you've done everything, you realize that there is so much more to do...What happens then? Do you continue on "doing it" or do you quit? Once the initial passion wears off, can you keep going?
Most people fly out of the gates on a new project but hit a wall when the excitement and enthusiasm starts to ebb. Is that you? Can you relate? Are you a starter or a finisher?
Starters usually need someone to help them finish, while finishers usually need someone to get them going. Where do you fit in? There are a few people who both start and finish and they are the ones we call "successful."
It's usually easier to be a starter than a finisher. A finisher needs to have the ability to work through long stretches of drudgery and do the work that needs to be done, but isn't as fun.
Here's the key: Figure out which one you are and align yourself with someone who has the opposite talent. Or find a group of people who can help you do the part where you struggle.
