E47 The Success Habit of Persistence – Eliminating Excuses & Taking Ownership
You have more control over your success than you think, but your “if only” excuses might be holding you back. Imagine what could change if you stopped waiting for the perfect conditions and started acting now.
What You Need to Know
Excuses are everywhere. In this episode, Londina Cruz and Donna Kunde explore the sneaky alibis—those little “ifs”—that keep us from moving forward. Whether it's blaming a lack of money, education, time, or good fortune, these are just stories we tell ourselves. Inspired by Napoleon Hill’s "Think and Grow Rich," the discussion outlines the 55 most common excuses people use to justify inaction or failure. The key idea? While facts might change, the truth that excuses won't build your future remains steady.
What You Need to Do
Start by paying attention to your own inner dialogue. Make a list of the “if only” statements you use—anything from “If I had more time” to “If people just understood me.” Challenge each one honestly. For every excuse, ask yourself: Is this really true? Could someone in my situation find a way forward? Then, pick just one excuse to let go of this week. Replace it with a small, positive action. Say no to waiting on perfect circumstances, and yes to progress, however small.
