You're listening to The Game Changer Life with Dave Anderson, the show about how to thrive, take charge of your mindset, and be unstoppable in business and all

aspects of your life. This is the Game Change Your Life podcast with Dave Anderson.

Welcome to the Game Change Your Life. I'm Dave Anderson. It's time for our Friday.

Two-minute warning edition posted on Fridays to give you something to think about, watch for, or do

to finish your week strong and maximize your weekend. I'll also include an occasional red zone

rant, but not today. Haven't ranted in a while, maybe one's coming soon. The topic I want to discuss now

is don't just fight finish. Sometimes we say, boy, that guy's a real fighter. That is a team made up of fighters. But

that's not the point. The point is, do the fighters finish? There's a big difference between

fighting and finishing. You could have a fighter in the ring that goes every round. It's not a coward,

doesn't give up, doesn't surrender, but loses every fight because he fights but can't finish. He just never wins.

Fighters have potential. Finisher become champions, especially fighters who finish become champions.

Think about it. Nobody ever says about a Super Bowl champion. Boy, they won the Super Bowl.

They really have potential. They don't talk about them that way. Why? Because they finished.

They're the champion. They talk about non-champions and their potential as being really fighters because they haven't done enough with that potential yet. So why do some people fight but never finish? Could be a number of reasons. It could be lack of training. They can't do it. Lack of motivation. They won't do it. Lack of commitment. Didn't care enough to do it. Lack of urgency. They lack the fire to do it. Selflessness. They lack selflessness. They're selfish. What's that mean? It wasn't easier, convenient enough to do it. Lack of leadership. They lack the influence to get others to do it or to make themselves do it. It could be other things, but it's normally one of those things are a blend of a few.

So which of those do you need to improve in your own life to go from just fighting hard to finishing and winning?

Whatever it is, face it, fix it, acknowledge it, change it, so you can get on to finishing, like the game changers, and become a champion,

and not just that lovable fighter with lots of potential.

Let me close with this.

You may not be able to add years to your life, but you can add life to your years, and you can start now

by not just fighting, but finishing.

Stop being lived.

Start living the game, change your life life and we'll talk again real soon.
