Lesson 11: No Excuses

No excuses are acceptable. Not in the real world. Said another way: there’s no excuse for an excuse-managers and others really don’t want to hear it.

If you often make excuses, this is an opportunity for you to change your work habits.

What you need to ask yourself is:

Why can’t I meet my deadlines?

Why don’t I follow through with my responsibilities?

What could help me perform better?

Should I seek guidance from a peer or manager?

If the reason for missing a deadline is the amount of work, a lack of knowledge or skill set or the work environment, you must talk with your manager about it. That’s why she is there–to remove roadblocks and to help you become successful.

With all of that said, you may already know you need to do this and not care. If you don’t love or at least like what you are doing, go do something else. Your life and happiness are too important to waste. Not meeting goals and deadlines will only make you and your management miserable.

The questions you could ask yourself are:

What would make me want to change and meet these responsibilities and deadlines?

Where better could I apply my skills?

What other types of jobs would make me happier?
