  • Hey – great video :) but do you have by any chance any advice for people with the other problem – those that actually start a lot and finish a lot as well. When I look back at my life (just turned 30 so it was a good moment to make some …) I see lots of things done – acutally I think all together it will do for at least three other people – that is why my friends have the first association with me – a successful person But my problem and greatest challange now is how to do less – well my health really paid the price of all those “achievements”. How to change this pattern, how to slow down. For me this seems a super challange. Do you know any techniques that could be helpful?

  • That is what I kept saying: Mathew is not just trying to help me find a good guy, he is focusing on inspiring me to be a great woman and then attracts someone who is equally great as I am.

    That’s why I think you are great!

  • Guilty :( Last may I started to write a book. I really need to get on that and finish it.

    Fuck….how do you see right through me with every video?

    Thanks for the reminder. Cheers.

  • Hi Matthew…

    Today I finished my first solo mini-album, and uploaded it the distributor… done and dusted:-) Thanks for this video to remind me why it’s so important to finish things… and looking forward to seeing you in Florida in October!

  • I recently graduated Cosmetology school in Southern California, but I haven’t gotten my license yet. No more excuses. The application is in the mail. Thanks for the kick in the butt, Matthew.

  • Funny you should talk about this, it’s the story of my life but am changing the script now. I have three unfinished movie scripts and an unfinished application process which I started last year to Parsons. Am going to start working on seeing them through one at a time.

    Thanks Matt, you’re truly inspirational.

  • Love this!!! It is something I have been working on for a while now. I have managed to because of this, finish organization projects,as well as one of my paintings, including making the frame for it myself! Truly an awesome feeling I agree :)

  • Thank you Matt :) ! You’re always extremely helpful and spot on. My item to finish tomorrow is my personal statement for my graduate school application for the University of Westminster. I really want to finish it and send it off by Monday. I’ve received my letters of recommendation so that last step is me! Look forward to your suggestions on the London hot spots ha. X. Thanks, Jillian

  • Dear Matt,

    I would have to agree about your frustration regarding people who start things and not finish them, which is why I’m currently disappointed with Get the Guy.

    I won’t go into detail on here, but I spoke with Steve on the phone regarding the retreat, and he promised to do several things as a follow-up, and since then I never heard from him (or anyone on your team) again.

    I was offered a spot, and I admit I was on the fence about accepting it. But following our phone conversation, I decided that the goals of the retreat were directly in line with what I most need, and I was looking forward to accepting the position and attending in April.

    Now, I understand there is a lot going on with your business, so I did email and text him as our call-back date approached, but I got no response. I’m only commenting on here because I’m not sure how else to leave feedback.

    I just want to say that I’m disappointed. What you offer in the retreat is life-changing and would be worth every penny if it delivered on its promises, but if you cannot deliver the simple promises of an email and a phone call, I find it difficult to trust that you’ll deliver a changed life.

    I wish I’d had the $4,000 up front to immediately reserve my spot; perhaps that would have made the difference. I think what you do is remarkable and I would have liked to have been a part of it.

    Kindest regards,

    Jenny

  • This is such an inspiration to me Matt. Hardly anyone talks about the value in completing what one starts…it’s all about starting something new, and no wonder we live in a society where many are ADD! I love your thoughts and I am taking them to heart as I continue in my music and writing. As usual, thanks for the valuable mentorship you provide ;)

  • Amazing video and just at the right time for me. you are absolutely correct and it is so sad when we have a pile of unfinished things and we consume our thoughts an energy in staring new things instead of finishing them. it’s worth the share and I’m sure all my friends (in training residents ) will appreciate this advice.

    thanks Matt

  • I think it was an episode of Rachael Ray with you & Peter Walsh…you explained that when you moved out on your own you would put your dinner in the microwave & use that 5 minutes to tidy up. When your food was ready you actually wanted 5 more minutes, because you had shifted your focus! That was brilliant because I have several large projects & I’m defeated before I move, but just 5 minutes didn’t look so bad! If I can force myself for 5 minutes I DO shift my focus & FINISH THINGS! Thank you for both pieces of advice.

  • Hey Matthew Hussey,

    I just wanted to share with you (as I am sure you have heard from so many women previously) that I believe your advice is quite wonderful! Everything from life advice to relationship, it’s great hearing or reading it when I check my emails at random. How strange it seems that I’ve been reading and listening to your videos for at least the last year or two, but I have never shared my gratitude! I want to thank you for being another proactive and encourgaing person in the world! I cannot say that I always apply your concepts or that I am a devoted Hussey fan; though, I have enjoyed following the links and learning more about the world from your perspective or another guy’s such as your brother. It’s always wonderful to hear another encouraging word, and I just want to thank you! Also, your “Get the Guy” book was an interesting read…it made me think about all that I or my friends do that could come off to a guy as not interested. Whether for small encouragements of the day or for advice that I will always take with me, thank you Matthew!

  • I have most of the material I need to finish a book I started on Reiki (energy healing modality). I haven’t finished it yet because I’m torn between using the material, instead, as part of an online certification program. However, I had the thought just last night that the book could be separate but offered as part of the program, but that would require me to come up with even more material for the program. Am I overthinking this?

    I should just finish the book and then work on the program. I need a life coach. LOL
