The Last Minute

It's almost the end of the month and I recently got criticised on Instagram for always pushing to hit my goals at the last minute.

Someone said to me “This is a bit of a running theme for you. l appreciate your last-minute efforts but maybe there’s something to improve in your system.”

Nope.

Because guess what?

If you hit your goal three weeks early, you didn’t set a big enough goal.

Recently my client record-breaking client Matheson told me, “If I think I’m going to hit my goal in advance, I make it harder.”

Yup.

You can't know what you're actually capable of until the last minute.

So why not push yourself to your absolute limit and find out?

I learned this from my dad and his climbing partner.

They set a goal to climb the 7 summits in 7 months – the fastest record ever at the time.

(7 summits = the highest mountain on each continent)

They started with Everest in May and ended with Antarctica's Vinson Massif in December.

They achieved their goal – with six hours to spare.

Six.

So don't be afraid to make bold moves at the last minute.

Nothing impossible was ever done early.
