No Excuse, Sir!

When I was a cadet in an officer school, I learn from DAY ONE there were ONLY 3 ANSWERS when the commander called you : “Yes, Sir” , “No, Sir” , “No excuse, Sir”

The “No excuse” response is really the most difficult, but the most important to adapt. Once embraces, it puts the situation in an appropriate light. The person accepts accountability for the circumstances, insinuates that the problem surely is going to get fixed.

Leaders cultivate the habit of not offering excuses. There is no place for an entrepreneur to have excuse for failure.

A typical excuser find excuses conversation go as follows:
Excuser : “ John, due to my work, I cannot conduct class”
John : “ Why not?”
Excuser : “ I have to work late, and I have to take care of my business here too”
John : “ So who is taking over your duty?”
Excuser : “ I have no ideas, lately very busy, hope you understand”
John: “ No problem. If you're not a trainer, then be a trainee. YOU EITHER TRAIN PEOPLE OR GET TRAIN”
Excuser : “ errrr…….but I have to work late on….. maybe I still can continue as trainer better”

I can’t really define if a person can become a successful entrepreneur, but I know it when I had this type of conversation.

“Excuses are like crutches, you can never win a race if you’re on crutches”. Excuser are on crutches, how to become successful if they’re on excuse's crutches?”
