Zig Ziglar used to say it's not how you start. It's how you finish that counts. Hey, my friend. This is Darrell Evans, and welcome to a special episode of the mind shift podcast right now. We're in the fourth quarter of the year, it's time to check in on your goals before this year is out. Where are you at? If you've crushed it this year, congratulations. You are awesome. But listen, don't take your foot off the gas. Don't hit cruise control right now because that is what your
competitors are doing. If you haven't reached your goals yet, you know what you need right now, momentum. Think about what Zig said it's how you finish. I was thinking about this topic the other day and remembered a clip that I recorded back in 2013. It's just like two minutes long. I listened to it. And I actually got the chills, it was actually kind of weird. I decided to share it with my email subscribers who are on my email list at mind shift
community.com. And the incredible Dave Knoll, who is the creator of the chop TV series on the Food Network, who was also a guest. On episode 61 of the show. He wrote me back and said, Hey, dude, everyone needs to hear this. So I decided to share that clip with you
today. But I was thinking, because I really appreciate you being a listener to the mind shift podcast, I decided to reach out to some of my entrepreneur and leadership friends and ask them if they would also share with you one big tip in under one minute to help you finish this year straw. And they of course, agreed. So here's my clip from 2013, followed by some incredible insights from some absolutely amazing entrepreneurs, and
leadership friends of mine. To help you finish this year strong, I guarantee you this, you will get at least one tangible practical action item to take away and finish this year strong and or build momentum into the next year. When you do tag me on Instagram @MrDarrellEvans, and tell me what it was. And also do a friend a favor, share the episode with a friend who has big goals and also wants to finish this year strong.
Have you ever watched a football game a basketball game, a boxing match, even a baseball game and we're down to the eighth and ninth inning. And one team is dominating the other team. One team is getting their butt handed to them. They're just down, they get kicked in the face from the beginning of the first quarter, all the way through the third quarter. Then the third quarter comes to an end. The whistle blows the clock sounds, the closer gets ready to
come in the game. And next thing you know, you get this feeling that something is about to change. When I was young, we grew up playing football. And even when I moved on into coaching, we were always taught that when the fourth quarter came around, we had a symbol we have an emblem that reminded us that the game was not over, we would raise our hand high in the air, put four fingers in the sky and everybody on the sideline would say put him up, put him
up, put him up. And we would be reminded that the game was not over. I watched a boxing match about four or five months ago, Manny Pacquiao got clocked. In the very last part of that fight, he lost the fight. We've watched it time and time again in football in basketball. I can think some years ago when the Lakers were down 28 points came back and won in the fourth quarter. I know you can relate
to this example. What I'm here to tell you is right now we're in the fourth quarter of the year, we just started the end of the year, it's October 1 2013. You may not have gotten where you want it to be physically, you may not be where you want to be financially, you may not be where you want to be in your career, you may not be where you want to be in your relationship. What I'm here to tell you is put them up, put them up, put them up, and let's get ready to dig in for the fourth quarter.
There's still time left to produce results. You can make a comeback. If you dig in. Now is the time to show why you've been doing what you've been doing. Look, if you've been practicing and practicing and practicing. This is the time to turn it all around.

Hi, my name is Lois St. Germain. I'm a certified success coach who helps high achieving professional women transition from their corporate roles to entrepreneurship without giving up their day job. My best strategy for finishing 2021 Strong is don't move the goal line. About this time every year, we begin to doubt our ability to hit the big goals that we set in January. And instead of doubling down, we tend to change the goal either in time or in value. This is the
worst thing that you can do. The real point of a goal isn't the prize at the end, it's the person you need to become in order to obtain it. When you move the goal line you robbed yourself of that group. So I'm here to implore you to play hard all the way through 2021.

My name is Anthony Faso and I'm a recovering CPA and founder of Infinite Wealth Consultants, where we teach you how to achieve financial freedom by creating enough passive income or it's more than your monthly expenses. And if you want to kill it before the end of the year, I recommend you take advantage of the 8020 rule, which states 80% of your results is from only 20% of your activity, which means 80% of what you're doing is only
producing 20% of the results. So stop doing that 80% Just focus your time on those high value activities. And that will allow you to achieve your goals before the end of the year. If you want to contact with me and go to InfiniteWealthconsultants.com Go make it a fantastic day.

I don't know if this adds any intrinsic value, but it certainly adds some subjective value for me. I like to rearrange and reorganize my office every year towards the end of the year. So that when I walk into it the next morning, it sort of has a fresh, remodeled, invigorating novel feel to it. And it might be adding new plants, it might be adding new curtains it might be moving your death to a different direction, etc. But I do something that cleans up my
office. And then it just enables me to have a little piece of something new. And the other piece I would add to is we create a word of the year every year. And as a team, we review our words with each other, and how are we doing to sort of live objectively towards that word. So those are my two tips. Thanks for the opportunity to record this for you and I look forward to connecting with you my friend.

Make sure it's achievable, and something that you can do within the time that you have and something that you're
interested in as well. So something you're passionate about, and just wrote it down somewhere so that by the end of the year when you do achieve that thing, you can look back on your notes and reflect on how far you've come.
