Welcome to the Game Changer Life.

I'm Dave Anderson.

I want to talk with you in this episode about a reality rebuttal to four excuses that hold you back.

Now, there's certainly more than four that holds you back, but we've got time to cover four.

I want you to be honest as I go through here, very honest with yourself and not just think of

somebody else, maybe, where you have heard this excuse recently, but do you make any of these

excuses? Because as you recall from earlier

episodes, excuses are the DNA of underachievers. It's one thing all underachievers have in common.

They take you out of your zone. They take your eyes and your energies off the things you can fix,

can't control, and put it on things you really can't do anything about. It's an absence of character because you're not accepting responsibility for the things you could have changed, could have thought, could have done better. They are garbage. Excuses make you small, common, ordinary, unpopular, repulsive, disgusting, and... What else could we say? A loser, all right? We'll throw that in there. They make you a loser too. I mean, nobody wants to be around you, give you more time, more opportunities. No one says, hey, let's give this guy a shot. He's got great excuses. Or you know what? We have a promotion available. Let's give it to her. She has the best excuses I've ever heard. Never going to happen.

So you've got to give them up to go up. There are certain things that you have to give up to go up.

Excuses are one of them. And we're going to talk about four common excuses that you hear a lot.

And maybe that you say a lot. You say more than you should, right? And we have to face them, fix them, acknowledge them, change them, give them up so we can go up.

But first, it's time for our quick hit Q&A.

stuff up.

So if you have a question for future episodes that have something to do with what we talk about
