Too many times people start working on something and then leave it in the middle. These unfinished projects hurt more than anything else. Most importantly, all the time spent on the incomplete task is wasted. And you spend the rest of your life regretting it. You will never find out what you could have achieved if you had finished what you had started.
Same thing happened with me few months ago when I got an idea about a marketing business which looked very lucrative to me at that time. I was so motivated and charged by the idea that I decided to work on it immediately. After few days of work, when I was half way through, I found myself overloaded with work at my office. As a result I had to defer my project for few days. But what happened was that I never got a chance to finish it even when I was not that busy at work. I somehow lost the motivation and faith in my business plan. I told myself it will not work and it’s not worth the time and effort. And that was the end of it. No progress has been made towards that project and the idea is officially dead and buried.
But I just can’t get over with it. More often then not I think what would have happened if I had finished and launched the new business. How much money I would have made. Had it not been a great experience for me. I should have continued working on it. I should have taken a few days off from work and finished the project in one go. I should have….
So you get the idea now. If you are working on something important that matters to you, do whatever it takes to do it until the end. Even if you have to take a couple of days off. You will not be fired, but you might always regret your unfinished task, and never find out the outcome.
