• 1:29
  Speaker 1: But, as author Julian Smith said, it isn't the start that matters, it's the finish line that matters.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: The real test is who's still standing and who's still pushing when the journey gets tough, when, on that marathon, you've hit that 18th mile, when the momentum starts to slow.

  Speaker 1: We are in Finish Strong Friday, my friends.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: So we are going to talk about how to finish strong.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: You see, persistence is another one.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: A persistent person knows how to build on momentum.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: It's not about talent, at the end of the day, it's not about genius.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: At the end of the day, nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Talent will not do it.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Nothing more than being gritty, hard and relentless will do it.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You've got to have those things in there.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Genius won't do it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: The world is full of educated people who don't get the job done.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Persistence and determination those two alone, these two warriors alone, are omnipotent.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: When you combine your persistence with your determination, you are going to finish strong.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: You will push through, no matter what.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: You will keep going despite the roadblocks.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: The obstacle will become the way for you.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: You will create a force inside of you that will not stop.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Do you know what that force is called?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Of course you do, because you've been listening here on the Sweet Spot.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: We're covering that force right now.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: It's momentum, the power of momentum.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: When you push through, when you keep going, despite setbacks, you're creating a force that carries you forward.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: And that force, my friend, it's momentum.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And momentum it isn't just about speed, it's about consistency.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: As we've said before, every small step you've taken, every tiny action you have made, every move that you have made, they all add up to a complete big picture.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It helps you complete the journey.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It's the commitment to keep moving, to keep persisting, to take one more step that turns your effort into a success, that gets you across the finish line.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: So don't give up now, don't stop now just because it's hard.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Remember, yesterday we talked about trust, trusting that the grind right, trusting that the grind and the struggle has a purpose, will bring out character in you, will bring out more resolve and that, even if you can't see the results yet, you will persist until you succeed.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: That's from the book Armand Dino's the Greatest Salesman in the World.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And here's a reminder Billy Sunday said it this way Stopping at third adds no more to your score in baseball than striking out.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how well you start, if you fail to finish, it's the finish that counts at the end of the day.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So guess what?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: This is your moment to push through and to leave it all on the field.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Don't let the week end with regret, wishing you had gone a little further, wishing that you had given it a little bit more of a push.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: As Derek Jeter said, the last thing you want to do is finish playing and wish you had worked harder.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: So on, finish Strong Friday, my friends, here's the challenge.
