Little attention must be given to the saying, “It’s not how you start but how you finish that matters”. I get the spirit in which this is usually said, but it must never be applied where you have opportunity for a great start. If you didn’t have a great start don’t botch the pursuit; do the best you can for a great finish. At the same time, do all you can at the momentum starting line. Why start badly or weak when you can have a great start?
Momentum helps obliterate obstacles. Momentum inherently bears motivation. It is easier to inspire teams, more is achieved, and innovation is the rule not the exception. Everyone rises to the challenges as they endeavor to bring their best to the party. I’m sure you have, at one point or another, had a taste of this. To be a part of a high-functioning team that sees no obstacle. Maybe a glimpse of it.
