Finish it up

“Finish it up and let’s get out of here!”

This is what the winning coach called out to his team in the final stage of the game.

It’s not a message for a team in chase; they’re busy trying to capture the lead.

But for the team that’s ahead, it’s a focusing thought: “Finish the job, close it out, go home. Don’t make it harder than it has to be. Don’t drag it out. Don’t make it exciting.”

No need to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

For you: have you developed the skill of finishing? Of locking in and bringing a project across the finish line?

Let the coach’s words cheer you on.
