following through
Seeing it done
Following through is completing an action or commitment after beginning it.
In sports, it refers to continuing a motion after striking a ball—a golfer's swing continuing past the point of contact.
More broadly, it means doing what you said you would: He's great at making plans but terrible at following through.
The emphasis is on the finish, not the start.
