Do you pour it on or take your foot off of the gas? I suggest you step it up a bit and drive hard across the finish line. Make it a clear win, not a ref decision.

The End Is Nigh
Everything seems to come to an end. Road trips. Courses. Movies. Rain.
So prepare for these moments.

Era’s End. And Also Begin.
The Queen’s passing marked the end of an exceptional era. I stood at the side of the road Monday and watched her cortege pass right in front of me. Like time, The Moment passed and more moments after that.
But time stops for no one. Things continue to progress. This happens whether you want the event in question to be happening or not.
It really did feel like the end of an era though. It has been an exceptional era that kept getting better. Many people did not want it to end or they believed it never really would.
The Queen was a common thread in a lot of people’s lives, both in the UK and around the world. This may have helped us feel more united in our grief and the uncertainty for the future.
Now our new future begins. With a new King, we will begin a new era. We don’t know how this era will go, nor do we know how it will end. But we do know a new one will begin after this new one. And on it will go.

The End Game
You really should have an end game in mind, and written down, when you take aim at a new goal, challenge or desired achievement. I don’t say this lightly. These elements build on key themes that run through three of the seven steps in my new book Achieve Anything.
Step 1 is Think, which includes beginning with the end in your mind. It also includes the rhetorical question, ’Why?’ Why are you putting energy and time into this process to reach the outcome?
Step 3 is Write. You need to take the thoughts and turn them into written words that you, or anyone, can refer back to.
Step 4 is Plan. You really should collect those written thoughts and turn them into a structured plan with dates, times, desired outcomes and the finish line.
Notice we skipped Step 2? Lots of people do. That is a big reason why many people do not achieve their goal. More on that in the book.
