It’s mid-January and most people are off and running into the new year and many are already struggling with keeping their weeks old new year’s resolutions. What’s happening, are they hitting serious roadblocks, are the resolutions too difficult to keep or perhaps is it the person’s approach to achieving the goals they established? Let me share a very simple yet powerful concept that will have a profound impact on the success you realize in life.
The reason most resolutions or goals are not achieved successfully usually has very little to do with how the goal itself is written. It most often has to do with what happens when we run into roadblocks or hurdles along the way. Do you make excuses or blame external circumstances, or do you look in the mirror and except responsibility for your results? The most successful people in life take 100% responsibility for their success. Let me provide a quick example. It’s raining outside and the showroom traffic is very light to non-existent. One salesperson stands and looks out the window wondering how he’s going to reach his goal for how many cars he needs to sell this month. Another salesperson decides to start calling all her customers that she sold cars to the previous year to see if they’re still happy, to see if they’re interested in trading their car in soon and to see if they know someone that is shopping for a car. One salesperson will blame the weather for not reaching his goals and the other salesperson is taking responsibility for reaching her goals. Which person do you want to be?
Start taking 100% responsibility for your success in life and realize a better life!
