Another key element on this mental journey is the concept of responsibility. Look at your friends and family, and possibly yourself, and ask yourself, how many people do you know TRULY take responsibility for their actions? If you listen to the average conversation of people, they speak about the negative in their lives and who they blame for it. Oh, the economy sucks so I can't find a better job, gas prices are too high so we can't take that road trip, my boss hates me and won't give me a raise or that promotion I deserve, traffic was horrible so I was late for work this morning, and the list goes on. So based on these examples why are there more millionaires each year than the year before? Why has Disney experienced a growth in tourism this year? Why are some industries and companies thriving while others are going under? Why are YOU and your business suffering?
A lesson I learned from my fraternity that has stuck with me since was a quote about Excuses. It says "Excuses are tools of incompetence that build monuments of nothingness and those that specialize in them, seldom do well at anything." There are many different variations to this but they all point to the same truth. That truth is that those who fail to be responsible for their short comings will fail to be responsible for their success because they go Hand in Hand.
Taking responsibility of what goes on in your life goes further than just owning up to your failures and weaknesses, but it's a proactive position that entrepreneurs take on their life. Instead of looking on the outside and placing the blame for where you are in your life on your circumstances, ask yourself what decisions did I make to get me where I am. Because we all know the truth is that we are the sum value of our choices and experiences. What can you change internally that will affect your external circumstances? Maybe you need to read that book on marketing, or take that course in business ownership. Maybe you need to continue reading this blog for a complete mental shift on how you look at the world to see some changes, ha ha. There's more to be had in life is you are willing to be responsible for it. Take your next step in responsibility and go to www.MassiveHomeIncome.com Have a Great Day, because you Deserve it!
