FINISH WELL” | By Dale Schaechterle

As we near the end of summer and head into the final stretch of 2020, I’m reminded of what my Sons call “some of the best advice I ever gave them”. We often talk about starting the new year with a bang, which of course is important. But, what I tried to instill in Aaron & Adam was it’s far more important to “FINISH WELL”.

They followed this advice during the school year, making sure they didn’t slack off towards the end of the school year (which is easy to do). They used this advice on the tennis court, especially when they got down early in a match; and found it didn’t matter, if they didn’t give up and finished well.

My Dad lived this concept to the fullest. On his final day on earth, he spent the morning coaching a new agent with her business plan, shared the afternoon caring for a quadriplegic friend of his, and that evening he visited the county jail to minister to inmates who were down on their luck. Later that evening, at 84 years of age, his heart gave out, and he left this earth a better place to live. He finished well!

And so, what about YOU? How will you finish well in 2020? In business it takes maintaining your momentum and remaining focused. What has brought you the most success this year? Now, do more of that! In life, it means finding ways to serve others in a manner that brings fulfillment for you, and dramatic life change for them.

In every situation it requires being intentional about the process. Let me know how I can help you to finish this year with excellence!

100% Yours, -Dale
