Welcome back to Raw and Real where sugarcoating doesn’t exist, and truth is the only option. Let’s be real: Excuses are nothing but lies you’ve dressed up to sound respectable. “I don’t have time.”  Translation: I don’t want to make time. “I’m not ready.”  Translation: I’m scared of failing. “I can’t afford it.” Translation: It’s not a priority. Every excuse is just a lie we tell ourselves to avoid doing the uncomfortable work.
