6 ways to stop making excuses and go for your goals

Business strategist Dan Waldschmidt offers 6 suggestions for jumping off the excuse train and forging the path to your goals.

1. Don't blame others for anything.

2. Stop working on things that just don't matter.

3. Do not wallow in self-doubt.

4. Ask yourself, "What can I do better next time?" And then do it next time.

5. Proactively take time to do things that fuel your passion.

6. Apologize to yourself and those around you for having a bad attitude. Do this once or twice and you'll snap out of your funk pretty fast.
